Casey Thompson, of the Cornhuskers, could prove to be a tough nut to crack for the Boilermakers, as his performances have also been very impressive.
His numbers don't come quite close to his counterpart, O'Connell's, but they are still quite good. Thompson has thrown nine touchdowns over 1497 passing yards this campaign and completed 65.6% of his passes. His team has been quite up and down lately, but they are slowly garnering momentum.
