As a conference known for wide-open offense, the Pac-12 has always been at its best when there is across-the-board experience at quarterback.
Though Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen now play in the NFL, eight teams have returning starters under center this fall. The list of veterans includes Jake Browning of Washington, Justin Herbert of Oregon and Khalil Tate of Arizona, all of whom showed up Wednesday at Pac-12 media day in Hollywood.
But as the 2018 season approaches, Pac-12 passers bear particular responsibility for a league that has only two appearances — and zero titles — in the four-year history of the College Football Playoff.
