Big Ten passing yardage leaders after Week 4

After the first month of football in the Big Ten, the top passing yardage leaders have been established, with two expected leaders at the forefront. Ohio State's Julian Sayin tops the conference with 301.5 passing yards per game, while USC's Jayden Maiava remains the leading passer in terms of total yards, despite playing one more game than his peers.

This discrepancy highlights Maiava's consistent performance throughout the season, as the other teams have only played four games each. Sayin has climbed four spots to secure the No. 2 position among the conference's leading passers. However, Penn State's Rocco Becht has dropped out of the top 10 following a poor performance against Wisconsin.

Becht's absence of star wide receiver Koby Howard has impacted his performance, though Becht will need to adjust and find other targets. Here are the top 10 Big Ten passers after Week 4: 1. Jayden Maiava, USC with 1,499 passing yards, 14 TDs, and 2 interceptions. 2. Julian Sayin, Ohio State with 1,206 passing yards, 10 TDs, and 1 interception.

3. Ryan Browne, Purdue with 1,135 passing yards, 7 TDs, and 1 interception. 4. Demond Williams Jr., Washington with 1,129 passing yards, 7 TDs, and 3 interceptions. 5. Malik Washington, Maryland with 1,034 passing yards, 6 TDs, and 4 interceptions. 6. Katin Houser, Illinois with 1,021 passing yards, 9 TDs, and 2 interceptions. 7.

Colton Joseph, Wisconsin with 987 passing yards, 7 TDs, and 5 interceptions. 8. Drake Lindsey, Minnesota with 951 passing yards, 7 TDs, and 2 interceptions. 9. Dante Moore, Oregon with 926 passing yards, 9 TDs, and 0 interceptions. 10. Anthony Colandrea, Nebraska with 751 passing yards, 9 TDs, and 0 interceptions.
