2019 College Clutch EPA per Dropback 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.

EPA per dropback in the 4th quarter or overtime with the score within 8 points. This matches FootballKickingStats.com's clutch definition on purpose.

The 2019 leaders: Dustin Crum (+0.90), Sam Ehlinger (+0.88), Shane Buechele (+0.73).
