Vick, a career 57.0 percent passer at Ohio, is hitting on 70.8 percent of his throws this year. And they aren’t dump offs either; Vick is averaging 11.42 yards per attempt — the third-best number in all of FBS football.
Vick has thrown for 548 yards, with four touchdowns and two interceptions, in essentially seven quarters of play in 2015. He leads the Mid-American Conference in passing efficiency (182.1), and his passer rating (185.9) is No. 7 nationally. His 16.12 yards per completion rank seventh in the country.
How well is Vick throwing the football? The Ohio record for a single season in completion percentage is 64.3 (Tyler Tettleton, 2011), and the best single-season efficiency rating is 148.6 (Tettleton, 2011). Vick is way above those numbers so far, and his 11.42 yards per attempt would also dwarf the previous single-season make of 8.9 (Bob Babbitt, 1962).
The numbers could, and likely will, dip with Saturday’s trip to Minnesota and the Gopher’s nasty pass defense. But the point is this: Ohio needed to improve its passing game from 2014 and it appears the Bobcats are on the right track..
