2013 College Negative-Play Rate Leaders

College play-by-play before 2025 does not record where passes went, so depth, direction, ACE and throw maps start in 2025. Counting stats are the official NCAA season lines.

Sacks, interceptions and completions that lost yards, for every dropback. Lower is better.

The 2013 leaders: Bryce Petty (0.6%), Teddy Bridgewater (1.3%), Connor Shaw (1.5%).

Negative-Play Rate

Minimum to rank: 15 pass attempts per team game (the NCAA's minimum for passing efficiency). 120 players.
