The Phinsider Beck vs. Henne

I thought I would throw this breakdown of Beck and Henne's collegiate career's.  It's pretty interesting.  The numbers are quite similar:

Games: Beck - 43, Henne - 47.

Comp.-Att. Beck - 885/1418, Henne - 828/1387.

Comp. Percentage: Beck - 60%, Henne - 59.7%.

Total Yards: Beck - 11,021, Henne - 9715

Yards per game: Beck - 256.3, Henne - 206.7.

Total Touchdowns - Beck 79, Henne - 87.

TD's per game: Beck - 2.3, Henne -  1.85

Total int’s: Beck - 34, Henne - 37.

Int's per game:  Beck - 1.3, Henne - 1.3

TD/Int Ratio: Beck - 2.3/1, Henne - 2.4/1.

So, going off of collegiate numbers, I’d say both qb’s are very close, if not the same.

BTW - The “checkdown” is a hugh part of BYU’s offense. Beck made a living in college by throwing it to the TE’s and RB’s. He needs to get away from the “checkdown” to be successful in the NFL, but he has the intangibles to make it.

As for Henne, he has all of the makings to be successful as well.
