Ohio State sophomore quarterback Terrelle Pryor is one of the most talented players in the country.

The best of the rest

• Matt Grothe, South Florida, Sr.: If you're the successful quarterback of a program still in its infancy (ninth season in Division I-A) and you lead the team to a No. 2 ranking (happened briefly in 2007), you're a lock for best-ever. Grothe is one of two players in Big East history to rack up 10,000 yards of total offense, and he has led the Bulls to 26 wins and three straight bowl games.
• Tim Hiller, Western Michigan, Sr.: If Hiller can lead the Broncos to their second league championship in school history, his record-setting numbers will secure his spot as Western Michigan's greatest quarterback.
• Colin Kaepernick, Nevada, Jr.: The Wolf Pack QBs have a history of big arms, but none has been as dynamic as Kaepernick. In two seasons, he has 6,747 all-purpose yards and 64 touchdowns.
• Kellen Moore, Boise State, Soph.: As the program has grown, so has the stature of its quarterbacks: from Bart Hendricks to Ryan Dinwiddie to Jared Zabransky. Moore, however, will have four years in the same system — and three more years of similar production (3,486 passing yards, 25 TD passes) will easily make him the best ever.
• Riley Skinner, Wake Forest, Sr.: Skinner was the star of the Deacons' 2006 ACC championship season, their first conference title since 1970. His passing numbers (34 TDs, 25 interceptions) aren't as significant as this number: 26 wins as a starter.
• Rusty Smith, Florida Atlantic, Sr.: He's already the greatest quarterback in the brief Division I history of the school. Smith holds virtually every career record and this fall likely will surpass 10,000 career passing yards.
• Trevor Vittatoe, UTEP, Jr.: Jordan Palmer (11,084 yards, 88 TDs) became the program's career passing leader under coach Mike Price, and Vittatoe (6,375 yards, 58 TDs) should pass him, barring injury.
