BIG 10 SQUAD: Big 10 QB DEBATE | Where Michigan Stacks up

·32 min·1 clip

Spencer claims Dante Moore would win the Heisman at Ohio State, challenging Julian Sane's top ranking.

This episode of the Big Ten Squad features hosts Zach Saco, Spencer McLaughlin, Isaiah Hull, Ryan Herrings, Trent Condon, and Craig Sheeman debating key topics across Big Ten football and basketball. They open by ranking the conference's top quarterbacks, sparking a detailed comparison between Ohio State's Julian Sayin and Oregon's Dante Moore. Spencer McLaughlin argues the two had remarkably similar seasons, both showing inexperience against elite defenses that cost their teams a national championship shot. He gives Moore a slight 51-49 edge, noting Moore did more with a depleted receiving corps while Sayin benefited from having Jeremiah Smith. Isaiah Hull contends Moore is "head and shoulders better" than Sayin, believing Moore would win the Heisman if he had Ohio State's offensive line and receivers. Ryan Herrings criticizes Sayin as overrated, suggesting his success is largely a product of Ohio State's system and surrounding talent. Trent Condon points out Sayin's struggles in critical late-season games, including throwing interceptions against Michigan and Miami. The panel also briefly touches on Michigan's Bryce Underwood, with Hull noting his freshman season was complicated by off-field "extracurriculars" and a lack of quarterback coaching. A surprising claim is Herrings' assertion that Dante Moore would be a top-two NFL Draft pick if eligible right now. The conversation shifts to March Madness, where a record six Big Ten teams have reached the Sweet 16. Trent Condon emphasizes that the conference must finally win a national championship to change its narrative and truly surpass the SEC. Ryan Herrings agrees, stating no one will remember six Sweet 16 teams if none advance to the Final Four. Isaiah Hull analyzes Michigan's challenging matchup against Alabama, noting the Crimson Tide's three-point shooting prowess exploits a Wolverine defensive weakness. Spencer McLaughlin predicts Houston will defeat Illinois due to superior defense, while humorously lamenting Oregon's absence from the tournament. The hosts adopt a lively, debate-driven tone filled with friendly jabs and conference rivalries, particularly targeting Ohio State. Listeners who enjoy insider analysis, heated sports debates, and Big Ten football and basketball coverage will find this episode engaging. Fans solely interested in narrative deep-dives or single-team coverage may want to skip this roundtable discussion.
