Hello everyone and welcome back one again to yet another Draft "Expert" blog post! As you can probably tell by the title, this weeks blog post will be covering our week NINE quarterback prospect rankings for the 2025 NFL Draft!
Isn't it crazy that we're already in week nine? Like, it feels like only yesterday we were sitting back and watching Florida State lose to Georgia Tech over in Ireland. Crazy to think that we just entered the month of November!
Before we get into the blog post I must mention that I did make some alterations to last weeks blog post, so if you see someone a little higher or a little lower than they were last week, I apologize for any confusion.
So, without any further delay I, Logan Blackman, host of the Logan Blackman Show and self proclaimed Draft "Expert," am proud to present my week NINE quarterback prospect rankings! Enjoy!

1. Cam Ward, Miami (FL)
Wk 9 - 22/35 208 yds 0 touchdowns 0 interceptions/7 carries -4 yds 0 touchdowns/1 catch 7 yds 1 touchdown v Florida State (36-14 W)
Season - 191/281 2,746 yds 24 touchdowns 5 interceptions/42 carries 186 yds 3 touchdowns
This was not your typical Cam Ward performance. Throughout the entire course of the season up to this point Ward has been on a tear, registering no less than 300-yards passing and two touchdowns per game. Again, the dude has been tearing it up, but this past weekend against Florida State we didn't see the same production, registering only 208-yards passing with no touchdowns. That being said he did come through with a receiving touchdown later on in the fourth quarter. Look, Florida State have been dog water this year, and that's putting it nicely, but one thing they've done well this year is defend the pass, shockingly coming in with the third best pass defense in the conference giving up just over 200-yards per game. Where the Seminoles get killed is in the run game, ranking dead last in the conference while giving up just over 179-yards on the ground per game. Miami, as all good teams tend to do, adjusted their game plan from an air raid offense to just pounding the rock, running the ball 40-times as a team for 230-yards and three touchdowns in a 36-14 home victory against their much hated rivals. Now, Ward still did throw the ball 35-times throughout the game but most of them came in the short and intermediate game. Like, Ward's longest completion in this game was 21-yards, which is 16-less yards than his previous lowest mark of 37, the only other time where his longest completion went for less than 40-yards. On Miami's first touchdown drive of the game Ward completed passes 13, eight, 12, and 20, with the latter helping set up a one yard run by Mark Fletcher Jr. to go up seven early. Miami would be forced to punt on their next drive as Ward was sacked twice on the final two plays to push the Hurricanes back to a fourth and 27 situation. Ward would complete two passes on Miami's next scoring drive, connecting with Xavier Restrepo for four yards before hitting an open Damien Martinez a on five yard hitch that ultimately picked up a first down on third and 20. Martinez's number would be called again a few plays later as he would take it in from 18-yards out to double Miami's advantage early in the second quarter. Following a Florida State touchdown, Miami would put together an 18-play 88-yard drive to end the half, with Andres Borregales making a 20-yard field goal as time expired. On said drive Ward would flash his elusiveness and overall play making abilities, evading a few would be tacklers in the backfield before finding Joshisa Trader for an 11-yard gain on third and four from their own 26.
This is just another example of what makes Cam Ward so scary for opposing defenses. After looking dead to rights in the backfield while getting spun by a Florida State defender, Ward is not only able to break away from a would be sack, but also keeps his eyes down the field to find an open receiver past the line to gain for a first down. Also, great job by Trader on coming back to the ball and giving his quarterback someone to throw to after he got outside the pocket. It's all fine and dandy to evade tacklers in the backfield, but you still need someone to get open down the field for the play to actually matter, which is exactly what Trader did here. As the drive went on Ward and the Hurricane offense got stuck in a few precarious situations, i.e. being faced with a fourth and one along with a couple third and 10 situations. Spoiler, Miami was able to get the appropriate amount of yardage to pick up a first down on each of those scenarios, with Ward connecting with Isaiah Horton for 16 and 21-yards on both third downs to keep the chains moving.
Love the quick release here by Ward, hitting Horton on the slant right as the defender got to him for a nice 21-yard gain. One thing I always credit Ward for is his calmness in the pocket, most notably on important downs as he was delivering for Miami going 4/4 on third down up to this point in the game. Ward would call his own number on the very next play picking up 11-yards on the ground and getting Miami to within two yards of the goal line. Though they were just two yards away, with time expiring in the first half Miami settled for the field goal, making the score 17-7 at the half. Ward would connect on a few shorter passes on Miami's opening drive of the second half on an 11-play drive that resulted in three more points for the Hurricanes. Miami would continue to stack field goals on their next drive, with Ward completing a 13-yard pass to Xavier Restrepo after a flea flicker to get them down to the Florida State 34-yard line. Miami would finally find the end zone on their next drive, with Ward picking up his first receiving touchdown of the season from seven yards out to give the Hurricanes a 29-7 lead with just over four and a half minutes to go in the fourth quarter.
Does this play show why Ward should be the top quarterback in this year's class? No, but it's still a fun play to highlight as it's not too often we get to see a quarterback coming up with a receiving touchdown. This would really be Ward's final contribution to the game as though Miami would find the end zone again one more time it would be Damien Martinez doing the heavy lifting as he'd rush for 83-yards on that drive alone to give Miami a 36-7 lead with less than two minutes to go in the game. Florida State would find the end zone with less than a minute to go but the damage would already be done with Miami coming away 36-14 home victors against their much hated rivals. Like I mentioned earlier, this wasn't your typical Cam Ward performance. Though he may not have put up 300-yards passing or thrown for multiple touchdowns he made plays when Miami needed them, helping the Hurricanes pick up multiple first downs on third and fourth down(s) throughout the game. Overall this was a fairly easy game for Miami as they move to 8-0 on the season and have jumped into the top five in the latest rankings. This coming week Miami will be taking on the Duke Blue Devils who are an overtime loss to SMU away from being 7-1 on the season. Now, though they have a very solid record, I'm not overly convinced by the Blue Devils at this point in the season, which leads me to believe Cam Ward and co. shouldn't have too many problems come Saturday morning. That being said Duke does boast the conferences top passing defense, so maybe I'm being a little too mean at this point in time, but I guess we'll find out, right?

Another week yet another night game for Colorado. Though I kind of understand why, at the same time I also don't, like why have the Buffaloes had so many nights game? To this point in the season Colorado has taken part in five games that kicked off after 6:30 pm central time, with this last game against Cincinnati kicking off at 9:30 pm central, so an actual primetime game for those out in Boulder. Regardless of how polarizing the Buffaloes are, I am kind of getting tired seeing them in the primetime slot. Other than that I have no beef with them, as I like Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter but c'mon, this is getting a little crazy don't you think? I guess it doesn't really matter what you or I think about the situation, the fact of the matter is that people tune in to Colorado games. Whether that be because they're actually rooting for them to win or they're praying on their downfall regardless, people are going to watch. So far this season those who are rooting for Colorado's downfall have been gravely disappointed as the Buffaloes moved to 6-2 with a 34-23 home victory against the aforementioned Cincinnati Bearcats with quarterback Shedeur Sanders throwing for 323-yards with two touchdowns through the air and another on the ground. Weirdly, this was the first time where Sanders hasn't thrown an interception since Colorado's overtime win against Baylor back on September 21st, so that's nice to see as well. As shown by the stats Sanders put forth a very efficient effort in Colorado's win, with things started off as good as they could have, leading a 64-yard 11-play drive to kick off the game. What's kind of funny about this drive was that it could've ended a few plays sooner as Sanders hit Jimmy Horn Jr. about four or five yards past the line of scrimmage on third and 13 that would wind up resulting in a 57-yard touchdown. The thing is, Horn would get called for unsportsmanlike conduct penalty flashing the peace sign while running into the end zone, resulting in the touchdown being wiped off the board. Thankfully that penalty wouldn't be a drive killer as Sanders would hit LaJohntay Wester for a 12-yard gain to get them down to the Cincinnati three before finding Travis Hunter in the back of the end zone for six to give the Buffaloes the early lead.
If you understand yards and distance than you could probably tell that this is Sanders' 12-yard pass to Wester to help set up the eventual touchdown to Hunter. All jokes aside I really like this throw from Sanders. Calmly shuffling to the left and delivering a ball toward the sideline for Wester to make a play on the ball, which of course he did. This is just very good ball placement from Sanders who again would come up with his first touchdown pass on the very next play to give the Buffaloes their first lead of the game. They would continue to stack touchdowns on their next drive as Sanders would help orchestrate yet another extended drive, this one covering 90-yards in 12-plays to give Colorado the lead again following a Cincinnati touchdown on their second drive of the game. On the drive Sanders would find Horn on a bubble screen to the near sideline which would see Horn ultimately reverse fields and pick up 15-yards in the process. Sanders would also hit Hunter for nine yards on second and eight and Horn again for nine on third and eight before hitting Hunter (again) in the middle of the field for a first down.
In between four Cincinnati defenders, Sanders does a nice job at fitting this ball into Hunter for the first down. Though the pass itself was good enough for a first down, the play was boosted by a roughing the passer call that moved the Buffaloes all the way down to the Bearcat 17-yard line. A few plays later, after picking up a first down on fourth and one, Sanders would call his own number and take it into the end zone from four yards out to help Colorado regain their advantage with no time left in the first quarter. Though their touchdown streak would come to an end on their next possession Colorado would still put forth another long drive that ended with points, this time traveling 64-yards in 13-plays and coming out with a 28-yard field goal by Alejandro Mata with three and a half minutes left in the second quarter. As for Sanders, he'd come away with a shovel pass to Drelon Miller that would go for 16-yards on second and 15 as well as a 29-yard hook up with Travis Hunter to get them all the way down to the Cincinnati eight yard line. Following the field goal drive the Buffaloes would manage to score another touchdown just before half, with Sanders connecting with Travis Hunter for 14-yards across the middle on third and four before hitting him down the far sideline for a 34-yard score with three seconds to go in the first half.
This is a prime example of busted coverage as Travis Hunter created about five yards worth of separation between himself and the nearest Cincinnati defender. Sanders recognizes that and tosses one towards Hunter's area code, which he of course comes down with for the score. As for the throw itself, this thing was all arm and upper body as Sanders didn't have the time or space to really step into this throw. But as coaches always say, if your receiver is that wide open it's better to under throw him than over throw him. All that being said, this was a very nice scoring play to end the half for Colorado, up by 10 going into the locker room. The Buffaloes would be forced to punt the ball away on their first possession of the second half but would find the end zone on their second time of asking with Sanders and Wester connecting on a bubble screen that would go for 28-yards and help set up a seven yard touchdown run by Isaiah Augustave to go up 31-14 midway through the third. Sanders would nearly get picked off on Colorado's next possession, though instead of an interception it resulted in a 11-yard completion to Drelon Miller on third and three. Colorado would be forced to punt a few plays later, and would go three and out on their next possession as well. That being said they would come away with three points on their following drive with Sanders hitting Hunter down the far sideline for a 34-yard gain as well as LaJohntay Wester for a further 12-yards to get them deeper inside Cincinnati territory. After a few Augustave runs Colorado would trot out Alejandro Mata to attempt a 47-yard field goal, which he would capitalize on to pretty much put the game on ice with the Buffaloes coming out 34-23 home victors. Like I mentioned before this was a very efficient game from Shedeur Sanders, taking what the defense gave him by completing short, intermediate, and deep throws (a lot of yards after the catch). With this win in the bag Colorado can go into the bye week in pretty high spirits and prepare for Texas Tech. With the time not yet announced, one could imagine Colorado will be taking part in another night game, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

3. Jalen Milroe, Alabama
Wk 9 - 16/26 215 yds 0 touchdowns 0 interceptions/11 carries 50 yds 1 touchdown v no.21 Missouri (34-0 W)
Season - 137/203 1,937 yds 13 touchdowns 6 interceptions/102 carries 380 yds 12 touchdowns
I don't know if I'm ready to say Alabama is back or not, or whether Missouri just isn't all that good, but what I can tell you is that it was nice to see Alabama beat up on an inferior team, coming away with a convincing 34-0 home victory in conference play. Now, I have to mention that when 'back' I'm not saying Alabama is back to National Championship winning ways, not in the slightest at this point in time, but back is in a good football team that doesn't play with their food. But again like I said before, it may just be because of the fact that Missouri just isn't that good, especially after quarterback Brady Cook left the game early with a hand injury. I say that because though it was a convincing victory they still had trouble at times moving the ball on the offensive side of things early on, going three and out on two of their first three possessions of the game. It was just like Missouri was there just to make up the numbers, as their offense was no threat to the Alabama defense, getting out gained 486 to 239 with just 72-yards passing to show for it. Speaking of passing yards, Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe had himself a decent game, throwing for 215-yards with no turnovers along with 50-yards on the ground and a touchdown there to boot. Weirdly, those 50-yards on the ground are the most Milroe has had in a game since putting up an astonishing 117 against Georgia back in September. This was far from his Heisman potential best, but this was a nice game to see from Milroe who has registered at least one interception in every game since September 14th when Alabama beat Wisconsin 42-10. So again, nothing specular, but a solid outing for Milroe in the 34-point home win. Like I mentioned before though early on Milroe and the offense didn't really do a whole lot. Sure they picked up a field goal on their first drive but they totaled -1-yard of offense on their next two drives combined, going three and out both times. Alabama would be able to string some plays together their next time out, with Milroe hitting Germie Bernard on a screen that would go for 12-yards but ultimately this drive would end the same as the last two as a Milroe sack would put them in a fourth and 22-situation, punting the ball away once again after seven plays. Milroe and Bernard would connect for 26-yards on the opening play of their next drive, as Bernard had no one within 15-yards of him to get them to near midfield. Milroe would also be seen using his legs to pick up nine yards on first and 10 before hitting Bernard once again between four Missouri defenders for a 21-yard gain to get them inside the red zone. Unfortunately the drive would ultimately stall out with Alabama having to settle for a 39-yard field goal by Graham Nicholson to give them a six point lead with about four and a half minutes to go in the first half. Following a Missouri interception Milroe and co. would only need three plays to find the end zone for the first time which was set up by Milroe hitting a fairly open Emmanuel Henderson Jr. for a 28-yard gain to get them down to the three yard line. One play later Jam Miller would take it in to give the Crimson Tide a 13-0 lead late in the half. Milroe would connect with Kendrick Law on their first play of the second half for 14-yards before gashing the Missouri defense with his legs for a 32-yard gain to get them down to the Tiger side of the 50.
This is where Milroe is so dangerous, making numerous defenders miss while gliding down the field for a nice gain to get the Crimson Tide all the way down to the Tiger 32. Like it doesn't really even look like he's running that fast on this play, again just gliding down the field. Milroe would then connect with CJ Dippre down the far sideline for a 21-yard gain before taking it into the end zone himself for a nine yard rushing touchdown, giving Alabama a 20-0 lead early in the third.
Again, just an absolute problem for opposing defenses once he gets to the outside. Even when things looked dead in the water at the start of the play Milroe was able to reverse fields and take it in for the score. Most quarterbacks in this situation would've either just slid to avoid a big hit or just flat out panic, Milroe did neither and found the front pylon for the score. Alabama would go three and out one their next possession but would find the end zone again with about four and a half minutes to go in the third quarter. On said touchdown drive Milroe would complete a couple passes to Ryan Williams for 15 and seven yards respectively. Justice Haynes would then pick up 28-yards on the ground to get to the Missouri 15 before Jam Miller would punch it in a couple plays after that from 11-yards out to grow Alabama's advantage to 27 later on in the third quarter. Though they were forced to punt the ball away on their next drive, Alabama would find the end zone once again with just over 11-minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Prior to the score, Milroe would hit Ryan Williams on a slant on third and four to pick up 26-yards and get them to the Missouri side of the 50.
With the pocket collapsing around him Milroe just a nice job at staying calm and delivering a strike to Williams who picks up a nice gain for the first down. I always think it's funny when quarterbacks stand completely still in the pocket, it's almost like Milroe was frozen before delivering the ball. Regardless, it was a very nice play and helped set up Alabama's final touchdown which came a play later thanks to a 35-yard run by Justice Haynes, putting the final nail in the coffin as Alabama came out 34-0 victors. Like I mentioned before this was a fairly easy game for Alabama. Like, as long as the Alabama offense was at least semi-competent they were going to win the game in fairly convincing fashion as Missouri posed absolutely no threat to the Crimson Tide defense throughout the entire game. Alabama's offense wasn't great but it was effective and Milroe put forth arguably his best performance since the Georgia game over a month ago. Going into the bye I hope Milroe and co. correct the things they need to correct before heading to Death Valley to take on the LSU Tigers. We shold be in for a very fun prime time game next weekend.

4. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU
Wk 9 - 25/50 405 yds 2 touchdowns 3 interceptions/4 carries -3 yds 1 touchdown @ no.14 Texas A&M (38-23 L)
Season - 208/333 2,627 yds 20 touchdowns 9 interceptions/13 carries 13 yds 3 touchdowns
I don't know about you, but I wasn't really expecting this kind of result last Saturday night. Fresh off a double digit road win against rival Arkansas, I thought LSU would go into Kyle Field and cause some problems for a Texas A&M team coming off of a weird double digit win of their own against Mississippi State. Like, against the Bulldogs, Texas A&M was only up 21-17 at halftime, despite the fact that they were massive -21.5-point favorites going into Davis Wade Stadium. Though they ended up winning by 10-points, after being favored by that much I thought they'd come away with a more convincing victory. Maybe Mississippi State just isn't as bad as their record shows as they've caused problems for not just A&M but also Georgia and Texas in previous weeks as well. Who really knows? Regardless, I did still think LSU, led by Garrett Nussmeier would be too much for the Aggies despite being on the road. At a certain point in time it looked like that would be the case, especially with the Tigers being up by 10 going into halftime. To bad the game just didn't end there for LSU, right? The second half was a completely different story than the first for the Tigers as they either turned it over or punted on six of their seven drives. This was really a game of two halves, with Nussmeier registering all three of his interceptions in the second half. As a whole Nussmeier accounted for 405-yards passing with three total touchdowns to go along with those aforementioned three interceptions, which is the most he's had in a game up to this point in his career. Again though, things started off pretty nicely for him and the rest of the LSU offense as they would register points on two of their first three drives of the game, putting together a nice 87-yard 11-play drive with Nussmeier finding Caden Durham a few yards past the line of scrimmage who would take it 40-yards to get them down to the A&M 37-yard line. Damian Ramos would make a 23-yard field goal a few plays later to give LSU the three point lead midway through the first quarter. Following a Le'Veon Moss fumble on Texas A&M's next drive, LSU would be set up with excellent field position at the Aggies' 21-yard line. After an eight yard completion to Zavion Thomas and an 11-yard completion to Trey'Dez Green for a first down on third and two, Nussmeier would hit Mason Taylor from two yards out for LSU's first touchdown of the game.
Very well thrown ball to the back of the end zone by Nussmeier, putting it in a spot where only his intended receiver could get it, resulting in a touchdown for the Tigers. The thing is Nussmeier really could've had a touchdown on LSU's open play of this drive as he tried to hit Taylor near the front pylon, though it ultimately fell incomplete.
Again it's unfortunate that this pass fell incomplete because this was a damn near perfect throw by Nussmeier, the Texas A&M defender just made a great play on the ball to break up the pass. Everything about this play from Nussmeier was nice, from stepping up in the pocket to the ball placement, this is what you like to see from your starting quarterback. All that being said despite it falling incomplete LSU fans can rest knowing that the pair would hook up a few plays later for the score (scroll back up), so it all worked out (for this drive at least). Nussmeier would come through with some big plays on third down on LSU's next possession, hitting Kyren Lacy twice for 33 and 21-yards to help keep the drive(s) alive, with Lacy helping out his quarterback on the first conversion by coming back to the ball and coming down with the catch for the aforementioned 33-yard gain. Unfortunately nothing would come from this drive as Damian Ramos would miss a 48-yard field goal with just under 11-minutes to go in the second quarter. Though they wouldn't come up with any points there, Nussmeier would hit Aaron Anderson on a slant for a 76-yard touchdown to give LSU a double digit lead with five minutes to go in the half.
It may only be a slant route, but these are sometimes the type of throws that you want to see your quarterback make. How accurate are you when you throw into traffic towards the middle of the field? Well, on this case, with the safety not crashing down, Nussmeier has time to get it to Anderson before the defender can think about making a play on the ball. Not only that, but with the linebacker lined up in the middle of the field, Nussmeier has to put this ball more on Anderson's body rather than lead him as the pass could be broken up, intercepted, or Anderson could get his head taken off coming across the middle. With all that taking place and with all that being said, LSU can celebrate their 76-yard touchdown, Nussmeier's longest of the season. Nussmeier would come up with some big throws on LSU's next possession as well, hitting Chris Hilton Jr. for 15-yards on a five yard hitch to the far hash before finding an open Kyren Lacy for 30-yards to get the Tigers down to the Aggie 32.
After seeing the screen wasn't there, Nussmeier does a nice job at working back up the field and hitting Lacy in the gap for a nice 30-yard gain. What helped this play was that the A&M defender completely bit on the pump fake towards the bubble, allowing Lacy to get open down the field and find the aforementioned gap in the secondary. Nussmeier also does a nice job at making Lacy come back to the ball (more or less) as it allows him to quickly get his head up and avoid the oncoming defender. All in all, good play from the offense which helped set up a 49-yard field goal attempt for Ramos. Unfortunately Ramos would fail to convert yet again, keeping the score at 17-7 with less than three minutes to go in the half. LSU would be forced to punt on their first drive of the second half, and on their second drive Nussmeier would register his first of three interceptions, this one coming deep inside their own territory.
I give Nussmeier credit for trying to make something out of nothing but this is just not a great decision from him. Like sure if he's able to get a little more on the ball than maybe the pass could've been completed. Unfortunately, since he's being pressured and rolling out to the left, while falling back no less, he's not able to get anywhere as much on it as he would've liked and it ended up being intercepted. It's a hard throw to make in general, even more with all the other factors I mentioned being in play. Just a rough play which would lead to A&M's first touchdown of the half, courtesy of an eight yard run by Marcel Reed. LSU had a chance to come away with some points on their next drive but the long snapped would snap the ball before the holder was ready, leading to yet another missed opportunity on special teams as Texas A&M would recover the ball at their own 40-yard line. Seven plays later and the Aggies would take their first lead of the game, going up 21-17 with a minute to go in the third. Things would just keep getting worse for LSU as after two plays on their next possession Nussmeier would pick up his second interception of the game, once again coming deep inside their own territory.
This is just a bad read from Nussmeier. With the A&M defender initially locked up with Lacy, Nussmeier assumes that they're playing man which would mean that the receiver to the outside should be wide open as the defender should either stay inside or follow Lacy up the field. Like, Nussmeier starts to throw this ball when the defender and Lacy are locked up, but once he actually lets it go the defender drops into the flat, jumping the route, and intercepting the pass. Long story short, Nussmeier just got baited into making this throw, and what makes it worse is that A&M would need only five plays to find the end zone again, making the score 28-17 at the start of the fourth quarter. LSU would finally register some points on their following drive with Nussmeier connecting with Chris Hilton Jr. for 21 and Aaron Anderson for 33 to get them all the way down to the Aggie three yard line. Though it looked like Nussmeier would get his third passing touchdown of the game after hitting Trey'Dez Green on a quick out but he would get stopped at the one, which ultimately led to Nussmeier punching it in from a yard out to get LSU their first touchdown since the five minute mark in the second quarter (though they'd fail to convert on the two point conversion). That would be the last real positive thing to happen for LSU for the rest of the game as Nussmeier would register his third interception on the fourth play of their next drive, once again coming deep inside their own territory.
Another interception, another time Nussmeier got baited into making a throw. Like, the defender just shuffled across and waited for Nussmeier to throw the ball before breaking on it and picking it off. Just a rough way to register your third interception of the game. A&M would register a field goal on their following drive and that would ultimately do it, with the Aggies putting forth a great second half effort to come away with a 38-23 home victory. After coming out and subtly dissing the home crowd at Kyle Field I'm sure Nussmeier thought things would go a little bit differently on this conference road trip. Despite throwing for over 400-yards three interceptions just isn't going to cut it. It was a rough game for Nussmeier and co. and I hope they're able to correct some things during the bye week, especially with Alabama coming to town the following week. This wasn't Nussmeier's best performance but I have no doubt he'll bounce back as the rest of the season goes on.

I don't think it's too crazy to say that this game between Texas and Vanderbilt was one of the more highly anticipated match-ups from this past weekend, and who would've thought that before the season started? After Texas got beat up at home by Georgia in a game that saw quarterback Quinn Ewers get benched for the highly touted Arch Manning, the Longhorns looked ripe for the taking, especially against a Commodores team that famously beat the Alabama Crimson Tide a week after they beat the aforementioned Georgia Bulldogs by the score of 41-34. In the past, many people out there would have seen this game, checked on it once, then moved on to the next game as it was a 30-point game midway through the first quarter. This year though Vanderbilt has caught the attention of the nation, not just by beating Alabama but by also being ranked in the top 25 for the first time since the Jurassic period. They're a fun team to watch and are led by the eccentric Diego Pavia, who has put forth a very solid season from the quarterback position after transferring in from New Mexico State. Like, if this game wasn't on the SEC Network I'm sure this game would've done massive numbers as one thing people love more than seeing a historically ass team do well, is watching Texas lose. For those out there who love to 'hate watch,' on paper this was the game for you, as the Longhorns came into this one as -16.5-point favorites, and I'm sure not a single soul out there put money on Texas to cover that spread. After losing to Georgia in the way they did Texas was again ripe for the taking, with quarterback Quinn Ewers needing to put last weeks rough outing behind him, and to some capacity as he registered for 288-yards with three touchdowns. That being said he did also throw two interceptions, with one coming on Texas' very first drive of the game.
This is a pretty unfortunate interception for Ewers as he had a receiver open on the play, it just so happens that the ball was tipped at the line and would fall into the grateful arms of a Vanderbilt defender. I can't really bash Ewers for this one as again, it's just an unfortunate situation. To make matters worse, Vanderbilt would find the end zone five plays after the interception, putting Texas in a little hole early on in the game. Their next time out though would be different as Ewers would connect on a decent amount of screens and shorter passes, driving the Longhorns down the field before hitting Matthew Golden from three yards out who would make an impressive one handed catch to come down with the ball in the end zone for the score, tying the game up at seven midway through the first.
Very nice placement on the throw by Ewers but what a catch by Golden to come down with the ball for the score. As the old saying goes, let your playmakers make plays, and that's exactly what Ewers did, put the ball in a spot where only his intended receiver could get it, making a spectacular play for the touchdown. Following a good punt return set the Longhorns up around the 50 after a three and out by Vanderbilt, Ewers and co. would need little to no time to find the end zone with Ewers hitting DeAndre Moore Jr from 27-yards out to give Texas their first lead of the game late in the first quarter.
A couple plays before Ewers would hit Amari Niblack for a 20-yard gain down the far sideline but this throw to Moore is pretty impressive. The thing I liked most about this play was Ewers' pre-snap recognition, realizing that his receiver in the slot was in a very favorable match-up, lining up against man coverage. Ewers noticed that and let the ball go a second or two after the ball was snapped as Moore had the defender beat right around the first down marker. Was it the best throw in the world? Not necessarily, though it was good enough for his receiver to come down with the ball for the score, again putting Texas up 14-7 late in the first quarter. Texas would be forced to punt the ball away on their next drive following a Pavia interception. That being said they would find the end zone again on their next drive, with Ewers needing to fit a ball through a very tight window to hit Gunnar Helm on third and seven, picking up 24-yards in the process.
This is not an easy throw to make. Not only is the window just big enough to fit the ball through, but Ewers is also pretty much throwing this ball off of his back foot, making this play look even more impressive than it already was. With two defenders and the referee in the area, there's just not a whole lot of room to work with, but Ewers connected with his favorite target for 24-yards which would help set up his third passing touchdown of the game.
This is really good play recognition again from Ewers. With two defenders coming off the edge Ewers knows that he has to get this ball out quick and accurate in order to pick up yards for the offense. I'm sure after the first defender crashed he thought he may have a little more time on his hands to deliver the ball. When the second defender came down Ewers had to get the ball out quickly, but once he did that allowed for DeAndre Moore Jr. to get open, as the safety was late crashing down. Once Moore got passed the first defender it was smooth sailing for his second and Ewers third touchdown of the game. The Longhorns would go three and out after a Vanderbilt fumble to end the first half but would manage to register some points on their first drive of the second half, courtesy of a 40-yard field goal by Bert Auburn. What is kind of funny (in a cynical way) is that Ewers would nearly throw an interception on the play before the field goal, which would be the result of Texas' next drive as Ewers would have another pass tipped and intercepted.
If I had a nickel for every time Ewers would have a ball tipped or batted at the line of scrimmage and land in the arms of a defender I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's kind of crazy that it happened twice. You have to feel for Ewers on these two interceptions as they are pretty much out of his control. Yes maybe he could've gotten a little more loft on the ball in order to get it to his intended receiver(s) but we can also just credit the Vanderbilt defender(s) for timing things up pretty perfectly and forcing two interceptions. Texas' offense would struggle to sustain drives following the interception as they'd be forced to punt the ball away on their next two possessions, drives that would only amass 13 and 16-total yards. That being said they would come away with another field goal following yet another Vanderbilt turnover, and though the Commodores would try to make it a game late the Longhorns would come out 27-24 road victors. Like I mentioned before, I'm sure there were a loot of people out there 'hate watching' this game in the hope that they'd see Vanderbilt beat the two evils of college football in the form(s) of Alabama and Texas. Though again they tried to make things interesting at the end for Texas it was ultimately just too little too late. As for Ewers this was a much better performance than what we saw last week against Georgia. Sure he threw two interceptions but those were fairly unfortunate plays. I hope he continues to regain his confidence, going into the bye preparing for a home match-up against the Florida Gators. Though their record may not be the greatest Florida has proven to be a tough out for teams this season, maybe they could potentially cause some problems for Texas next week. Who knows?

7. Drew Allar, Penn State
Wk 9 - 14/18 148 yds 1 touchdown 0 interceptions/4 carries 8 yds 0 touchdowns @ Wisconsin (28-13 W)

Drew Allar may have only played a half in Penn State's road win against Wisconsin last week, but he sure made the most out of his limited action. Going against a Wisconsin Badgers team that boasted one of the top passing defenses in the conference. With their rush defense ranking closer to the bottom I somewhat expected the Nittany Lions to lean on the running back duo of Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton, or at least Allen with Singleton still trying to get back to full fitness, but that's not necessarily what they did. Sure, as a team Penn State amassed 173-yards on the ground and averaged almost five yards per carry but they came out slinging the rock around, with Allar going 14/18 with 148-yards and a touchdown in just a half of football, before leaving the game due to a knee injury. Despite turning it over on downs on their opening drive Allar still made some nice plays, mainly on third and five where he hit Julian Fleming on the run for a 16-yard gain.
Very nice accurate throw on the run while a defender was giving chase. The low throw forced Fleming to make a play on the ball, which of course he did. It also kept the Wisconsin defender away from the ball, as he would have to get even lower than the receiver in order to break up the pass. Allar would connect with Harrison Wallace III on a slant the very next play for 13-yards to get them to the Wisconsin side of the 50. Despite the solid throws from Allar Penn State's drive again would stall out with Allar getting stuffed at the line of scrimmage trying to drive it up the middle on fourth and one. Fret not Penn State fans as the offense would come out firing again on their next drive, only difference is that this time they'd be able to find the end zone. Before the score Allar would connect with Tyler Warren on the RPO pop pass play to the tight end that the Chiefs run all the time for 15 as well as Khalil Dinkins down the middle of the field for 17 before tossing it to Singleton out of the backfield for a 27-yard gain to get them down to the Wisconsin eight.
This may not be the most impressive throw in the world but what I like about this play is Allar's ability to maneuver the pocket, slide and roll out to the right before hitting an open Singleton over the top of the oncoming Wisconsin defender. Just so nonchalant from Allar, making it look so easy for the nice gain. A couple plays later Allar and Singleton would connect again, this time from eight yards out with it resulting in Penn State's first points of the game.
What a throw by Allar and what a catch by Singleton to give Penn State their first lead of the game. It's not often you see a quarterback looking a running backs way on a fade route, but that's exactly what happened here as the 'screen' put the Wisconsin defender off just enough to give Allar a little more room to work with to fit this ball in. Great play all around for Penn State though unfortunately that would be their last points of the half, as they would be forced to punt the ball away on their next three possessions before halftime. With Allar missing the second half due to a knee injury, the Nittany Lions would claw their way back after being down 10-7 at the half to come away with a 28-13 home victory. It was a shame that Allar had to miss the second half as he was playing very good up until that point in the game. Thankfully for him and Penn State Beau Pribula was able to help see out the victory, keeping their undefeated season alive thus making this weekends game against Ohio State that much more interesting. With reports suggesting Allar could be a game time call against the Buckeyes, all of Happy Valley will be holding their breath right up until kick off as it's hard enough to beat Ohio State as it is, let alone without your starting quarterback.

Wk 9 - 22/30 311 yds 1 touchdown 0 interceptions/8 carries 24 yds 0 touchdowns v Oklahoma (26-14 W)
Season - 173/245 2,695 yds 15 touchdowns 3 interceptions/67 carries 207 yds 3 touchdowns
Following the tough overtime loss to LSU, Jaxson Dart and the Ole Miss Rebels were back at home after the bye week to take on a very much reeling Oklahoma Sooners team that was fresh off a 35-9 home loss to South Carolina. This was a game where I was expecting Ole Miss to exercise some demons, beating up on a weaker opponent and coming away with a convincing win. Though they came out 26-14 victors I wouldn't necessarily say it was the most convincing performance of all time as though the Rebels out gained the Sooners in total yards, Oklahoma ranked better than them in total first downs, third down efficiency, and time of possession, which really shouldn't be that surprising given the fact that Ole Miss couldn't really establish a run game. As for quarterback Jaxson Dart, this was his first 300+ yard passing performance since Ole Miss' 52-13 victory against Georgia Southern back on September 21st, over a month ago. It was also the first time Dart had completed over 70% of his passes since then, though he wouldn't be able to find the end zone through the air more than once, which is something that has plagued him since that Georgia Southern game, where he threw four (he's thrown three in total since then). Things started off pretty smoothly for Dart and the Rebels though, needing only six plays to travel 75-yards and register their first score of the game, which came courtesy of a nine yard run by Henry Parrish Jr.. Dart though would kick off the drive with some nice passes, lobbing one over the middle of the field to Caden Prieskorn for 16 before hitting a wide open Dae'Quan Wright up the far sideline for a further 35-yards.
Now I don't think this throw to Prieskorn is one of the greatest of all time or anything, but this is still a nice way to kick off the game. Like I mentioned before, Dart just lobbed this one over the middle of the field to find his tight end. It was a really well placed ball that helped pick up a decent amount of yards right out of the gate. Though they found the end zone on their first drive it would take until the midway point in the second quarter for them to register any points as they were forced to punt on their next two drives. On their field goal drive Dart would connect with Cayden Lee on third and five for a 28-yard gain before hitting Jordan Watkins for a further 17-yards on a deep out to get them to the Oklahoma side of the 50.
I don't think some people out there understand how difficult of a throw this is. Throwing from the near hash to the far sideline speaks for itself in my opinion, but throwing it 15+ yards down the field and over a defender makes it that much for difficult. It feels like with these type of throws picked off, and more often than not returned the other way for six. You've got to make sure you're getting enough on it to get past the first defender but also enough touch so you don't over thrown your intended target. Really good throw from Dart which again, got them to the Oklahoma side of the 50 for the first time since their opening drive. Ole Miss would finish out this drive by running the ball before settling for three with just under seven and a half minutes to go in the first half. After two fumbles by Oklahoma and one by Ole Miss, all while Oklahoma's offense was on the field (make sense of that), the offense came back on the field set up with very good field position, starting their drive at the Sooner 37-yard line. Though the Rebel offense would get the ball all the way down to the five yard line, they would fail to convert on fourth and one, turning it over on downs in the process. To make matters worse Oklahoma would march right down the field after the failed fourth down attempt, taking a 14-10 lead going into the locker room(s). Though they were down coming out of the break it wouldn't take long for the Ole Miss offense to find the end zone, with Dart connecting with Cayden Lee for 20-yards on the opening play of their first drive of the second half and 13-yards a few plays later, before hitting Caden Prieskorn up the seam for a 24-yard touchdown.
This was just a really simple pitch and catch between quarterback and tight end on this play. After the Oklahoma linebacker bit on the fake to the outside, all Dart had to do was not miss Prieskorn running up the seam, which of course he didn't. Now, though Prieskorn was open, Dart still had to zip this ball in there to avoid the pass getting broken up by the Oklahoma safety. This wasn't necessarily the biggest window to work with but Dart made it look rather easy, giving the Rebels the lead early on in the second half (Caden Davis doinked the extra point so it was 16-14). Dart would flash his athleticism and play making abilities early on Ole Miss' next drive as he would hit Micah Davis up the far sideline while getting dragged down in the backfield on third and 14, resulting in a 26-yard gain.
I really love seeing this side of Jaxson Dart as he can be one of the best improvisors in this year's draft class. Really nice job at getting outside of the pocket once it started to collapse but an even better job at letting this ball go before Davis even turned up field. Very anticipatory play there from Dart and it resulted in a massive gain for the offense on third and 14 (great job by Davis at giving his quarterback an option to throw to as well). A few plays later Dart would come close to registering his second touchdown pass of the game, hitting Jordan Watkins down the near sideline for a 34-yard gain, with Watkins getting stopped at the one yard line.
Much like the touchdown pass to Prieskorn earlier, the Oklahoma defender completely bit on the pump fake from Dart, allowing Watkins to get past him with ease thus giving his quarterback a nice window to hit him down the field for a big gain. Just a really good overall play from Ole Miss which helped set up a one yard touchdown run by JJ Pegues one play later. Dart would connect with Antwane Wells Jr. for a 34-yard gain on their next drive, but ultimately they would have to settle for three as the drive would stall out once the fourth quarter started. The Ole Miss offense really would do too much after the field goal attempt, going three and out on their next two drives before turning over on downs after going for it on fourth and 11 with just over a minute to go in regulation. Ultimately, the Rebels would get back to winning ways, coming out with a 26-14 home victory. Like I mentioned before, I wouldn't necessarily say that this was the most convincing victory ever, but they put forth a good second half performance to come out double digit victors. This week Ole Miss will be back on the road, taking on a solid Arkansas Razorbacks team that is coming off a 58-25 victory against Mississippi State. I think the Rebels have enough to come out on top in this one but I'm sure Tennessee said the same thing a few weeks ago, look what happened to them.

Wk 9 - 13/21 178 yds 2 touchdowns 0 interceptions/10 carries 83 yds 1 touchdown v no.24 Navy (51-14 W)
Season - 131/198 1,360 yds 8 touchdowns 3 interceptions/85 carries 539 yds 11 touchdowns
Like any good American, I was rooting pretty hard for Navy to come out on top against Notre Dame in East Rutherford this past weekend. The only issue is that I think Navy forgot who they were playing, getting completely over matched in a 51-14 drubbing by the Irish. I'm not going to lie, though I was cheering for Navy in this one, I wasn't the most optimistic about them actually pulling off the upset. The thing that gave me the most hope was the fact that the triple option is an insanely difficult offense to scout for, as really only the military schools run that offense at the FBS level. You just don't ever see it, and I don't care how fast or athletic your scout team quarterback is, nothing can really prepare you for the speed at which triple option schools run their offense. When everything is clicking the triple option can be one of the hardest offenses to stop. That being said if you are able to corral it and keep it in check, it can be one of the easiest to stop as well, as there's normally not a massive threat with them throwing the ball. In the end, Notre Dame was just too much for Navy, with quarterback Riley Leonard putting forth yet another solid performance in the outing, throwing for 178-yards with two touchdowns to go along with 83-yards on the ground and touchdown there as well. Since Notre Dame's embarrassing early season loss to Northern Illinois, Leonard has accounted for 18-total touchdowns with just one interception all while averaging 173-passing yards and 77-rush yards per game. He has played some of the best football of his career through this stretch, with Notre Dame winning five of their last six games by double digits. Very impressive stuff, even if it's not against a bunch of world beaters. All that being said things started off fairly smoothly for the Irish, with Leonard hitting Mitchell Evans for 13-yards and an open Jaden Greathouse for 42-yards to get them down to the Navy 12-yard line. A few plays later Leonard would punch it in himself from a yard out to give Notre Dame the early lead. It wouldn't take long for the Irish to find the end zone again, as three plays after a Navy turnover Leonard would hit a wide open Kris Mitchell in the back of the end zone from six yards out to double their advantage with just under six minutes to go in the opening quarter. Following another Navy fumble that would set Notre Dame up at the Midshipmen 44, Leonard would flash the athleticism by picking up 17-yards on the ground on second and 12.
I'm not going to lie, I'm actually kind of surprised the Navy defender was able to bring Leonard down to the ground. Normally when he gets out into open field like this, even with a defender grabbing his leg he's able to pick up massive amounts of yards and get his team down to within striking distance of the end zone, and that's at both Notre Dame and Duke. Regardless, on RPO style plays if you pull the ball from the back it's got to be out quick as the linemen are working down the field. With the linebacker not really crashing and the corner in good coverage Leonard smartly just tucks it down and tries to pick up as many yards as he can, which was more than enough for a first down. Unfortunately though Notre Dame would kind of struggle to move the ball after the 17-yard pick up, with Leonard being sacked on third and seven forcing them to attempt a 36-yard field goal. To make matters worse Zac Yoakam would miss the ensuing attempt, keeping the score at 14-0 with less than a minute to go in the first. Following a Navy touchdown, Notre Dame would respond in quick fashion, needing only three plays to find the end zone again with Jeremiyah Love taking it in from 64-yards out to regain the Irish's 14-ppint advantage. Though they would go three and out on their next possession, a fumble by Navy's punt returner would gift Notre Dame the football on the Midshipmen side of the 50 once again. Faced with a fourth and seven, Leonard would find Jordan Faison in the middle of the field for a 17-yard gain which would help lead to another Love touchdown run, this one coming from just two yards out to make the score 28-7 with just over five minutes to go in the first half. Leonard and Faison would connect again on Notre Dame's next drive, with the pair hooking up for a 26-yard completion on the opening play of the drive.
Easy pitch and catch between quarterback and wide receiver on this one, with Leonard hitting the open Faison on the sideline for the nice 26-yard gain. A couple plays later Leonard would flash the athleticism once again, evading what could've been a sack on second five before cutting up field and picking up 15-yards with his legs.
Great job by Leonard at again avoiding what would've been a sack for most quarterbacks out there. He did a very nice job at sliding up in the pocket before cutting up field for the 15-yard gain that would help set up a 32-yard field goal attempt for Zac Yoakam, which he would make to give Notre Dame a 31-7 lead at the break. Though it didn't initially look like it, Notre Dame would keep up their scoring ways on their first drive of the second half with Leonard helping keep the drive alive on third and eight by picking up 24-yards on the ground to get them to the Navy side of the 50.
As Navy found out, it's a lot easier said than done to keep Riley Leonard contained. Much like in the first half, Leonard turned what could've been a sack into a big time gain. A few plays later Leonard would register his second passing touchdown of the game, this one going to Beaux Collins from 37-yards out to further extend the Irish's advantage early in the second half.
Much like the throw to Faison at the end of the first half, this was just another simple pitch and catch between quarterback and wide receiver as Collins beat his defender off the line with ease, creating about three yards of separation pretty much as the ball was snapped. Good recognition by Leonard on this play too, as he didn't really need to think about where to throw this ball as the decision was already made for him. Easy touchdown for Notre Dame which was Leonard's last contribution to the game, as Steve Angeli would finish out the rest of the game and see out a 51-14 victory for the Fighting Irish. This was a fairly easy game for Notre Dame as Navy was just completely over matched throughout the game. As for Leonard he put forth yet another solid performance, coming away with three total touchdowns for the fifth time this season. Now, the Irish are on a bye this week but they will face the Florida State Seminoles in a game that I'm sure many thought would be a little tougher than we're anticipating, with Florida State sitting at 1-7 after losing 36-14 to Miami this past weekend. Maybe they come correct against North Carolina this week but I doubt it, as I'm sure Notre Dame will have no problems dispatching them at home in a weeks time.
