this inclination to assign team results to quarterback performance is a meme as old as football. It's ridiculous though.

If Sims had played Michigan state instead of osu and had the 2015 defense instead of the 2014 version, it might be a fair comparison. as it stands it's disingenuous at best.

What about comparing tOSU to Clemson? Very comparable teams.

tOSU ended the year ranked #3 in total defense. Clemson is ranked #2.

Both games the defense did not do well. They gave up 537 yards to tOSU and 550 yards to Clemson.

Which quarterback's stats would you rather have for a big game?

QB A: 22/36 237 yards 61% 2 TD 3 INT
QB B: 16/25 335 yards 64% 2 TD 0 INT
