As you have no doubt heard by now Zac Taylor was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year by both the coaches and the media. I suppose the honor from the coaches might be more meaningful, given one anonymous Big 12 coach said the following in the preseason:
“Zac Taylor is not a great quarterback, but he's all right.”Taylor becomes just the second NU player to earn the honor joining two-time winner Eric Crouch (1999, 2001).
I was bored and did a little comparison of the two QBs in terms of the percentage of the team's total offense each was responsible for during the 2001 and 2006 seasons.
| Player | Rushing | Passing | Total | Percentage |
| Eric Crouch | 1115 | 1510 | 2625 | 48.5 |
| Zac Taylor | -43 | 2789 | 2746 | 52.7 |
Random Note - A google image search for Zac Taylor produces a plethora of pictures of him either being sacked or under a heavy pass rush. Perhaps that is indicative of just how deserving he is of this award.
