A start here is a game in which the player threw more passes than any teammate (college: completed more passes), not an official start. A starter pulled early can read as no start. Record counts starts with a final score on file. College game logs carry completions, yards and touchdowns only, so there are no pass attempts or interceptions here. Loaded seasons: 2017–2026; earlier ones are not in StatIQ’s data.
