Hello everyone and welcome back to another Draft "Expert" blog post! As you can probably tell by the title, this weeks blog post involves ranking the top 10 quarterbacks available for the 2025 NFL Draft based off of their week five performances!
I do apologize in advance for there not being a blog post last week, it's not that I didn't want to post something it was just that I didn't have time during the week to get it done. That being said, you can still check out the YouTube video for last week's rankings, click the link to view! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fn9c3v_0ItU&t=1s
This is the most excited I have been to release prospect rankings in some time now as this weeks list sees a lot of movement from the previous week, with three quarterbacks moving up, three moving down, and a new face appearing towards the back half of the rankings. Again, I'm excited for this one!
With all that being said I do hope you enjoy this weeks rankings! Like I always say, this is a fluid list, so if you don't like this week's then maybe you'll like them next week, who knows? But without any further delay, I am proud to present our week five quarterback prospect rankings! Enjoy!

1. Shedeur Sanders, Colorado
Wk 5 - 28/35 290 yds 3 touchdowns 1 interception/5 carries 15 yds 0 touchdowns @ UCF (48-21 W)
Season - 138/197 1,630 yds 14 touchdowns 3 interceptions/40 carries 25 yds 1 touchdown
I'm not going to lie, this game kind of caught me off guard. Just at face value, we saw a undefeated and physical UCF team hosting a Colorado team that has not won back-to-back conference games since 2020. A Colorado team that was coming in as -12.5-point underdogs. As far as I was concerned, though the Buffaloes have talent, I thought the home team would prevail. Boy was I wrong as Colorado came away with an impressive 48-21 victory, with quarterback Shedeur Sanders throwing for 290-yards with three touchdowns with a further 15-yards on the ground to boot (though he did throw an interception on Colorado's first drive of the game, which we'll get to shortly). I was thoroughly impressed by what I saw from Colorado in this game. Like, they even averaged more yards per attempt than the Golden Knights who have the nation's second best rush attack behind Army, compared to Colorado who have one of the worst rush attacks in college football. This was just a fun game for the Buffaloes, though it didn't start that way as again, Sanders would throw his first and only interception on Colorado's first drive of the game.
Just not a great decision by Sanders, trying to force the issue a little more than it needed to be. Yes it's third and yes Travis Hunter is a very nice safety net but that was a near impossible completion that turned into an interception. Now maybe he doesn't make the throw if the UCF defensive linemen doesn't get in his face thus blocking his view of the defensive back but still, it's a tough throw to make, and he ended up paying the price for it. That being said, the Colorado defense would come away with an interception themselves on UCF's opening possession as well, picking KJ Jefferson off while he tried to hit Trent Whittemore in the corner of the end zone. After those back-to-back interceptions the touchdowns would start coming, as Colorado would score on their next three drives, with Sanders connecting with Hunter from 23-yards out to give the Buffaloes their first lead of the game.
I really like this throw from Sanders. With Hunter in a one on one match-up on the outside, it makes for a fairly easy decision for Sanders who finds him for six. The thing is with the safety coming over late, and the corner on Hunter's hip, this throw needed to be placed right on his body as Sanders can't really afford to under throw him or throw it too far out in front because it may end up going the other way. All in all the throw was placed really nicely by Sanders which helped Colorado take the 7-0 lead late in the first quarter. UCF would return the favor on the opening play of their next drive as Jefferson would hit RJ Harvey on a wheel route resulting in a 75-yard touchdown. With no time to rest, Colorado's offense retakes the field and also goes 75-yards for the score, only they put together a solid eight play drive to get into the end zone rather than hitting on the first play. Sanders would hit on a few hitch routes to Will Sheppard and Travis Hunter for 15 and 12-yards, as well as Jimmy Horn Jr. for 10 on a crossing route before hitting Sheppard again for a 47-yard touchdown to give Colorado the lead once again.
What a grab by Will Sheppard! This coming off the dropped pass near the end of regulation against Baylor the previous weekend, what a turn around right? Though the catch was great, the defender didn't really put forth the greatest effort on the ball as he kind of just let Sheppard attempt to make a play, which of course he did. As for the throw from Sanders, it was solid. They always tell you to let your playmakers make plays and that's exactly what he did. Like I mentioned before, Colorado would continue their touchdown streak on their next drive, though this time they'd only need around two minutes to find the end zone thanks to a 14-yard run by Dallan Hayden. Sanders wouldn't be asked to do much on this drive, only completing two passes, one to Drelon Miller and the other to Micah Welch both for six yards. A fairly simple drive for the Buffaloes offense that would see them take a 21-7 lead early on in the second quarter. Unfortunately for Colorado their run of consecutive drives with a touchdown would come to an end as they'd fail to convert on fourth down at the UCF 36-yard line. Though the drive would ultimately stall out Sanders would make some solid throws along the drive, namely hitting Jimmy Horn Jr. for 15-yards on third and 21, the play that set up their fourth down attempt. The Buffaloes would get back to scoring ways their next time out, though they'd have to settle for a field goal rather than a touchdown. That being said Sanders did orchestrate a nice drive to set up said field goal attempt, as Colorado started this drive back at their own 14-yard line. Sanders would flash some athleticism on their first play of the drive, picking up 11-yards using his legs, before rolling out to his left and delivering a strike down the field to Travis Hunter that would take them down to the UCF 27 (with the help of a face mask penalty).
The more and more I watch Shedeur Sanders the more I notice how comfortable he is rolling out to his left. Obviously not a lot of right handed quarterbacks are comfortable in doing so but Sanders makes it look routine more often then not. I also like how he reverses out of the pocket, feeling the pressure coming from the backside Sanders does an excellent job at not only avoiding the initial pressure but also turning back upfield before delivering the strike to Hunter for the big gain. This is far from an easy throw but again, this is something Sanders does on quite a consistent basis. Colorado would struggle to move the ball much further down the field after this completion, settling for a 36-yard field goal to extend their lead to 10 with less than a minute to go in the half. That wouldn't be Colorado's final points of the half though, as after the defense forced UCF to go three and out, Jimmy Horn Jr.'s ensuing punt return would set the Buffaloes up at the Golden Knights' 35-yard line. After Sanders hit Micah Welch for seven yards to get them to the 28, Alejandro Mata would make a 46-yard field goal to give Colorado a nice 27-14 halftime lead. Colorado would keep with their scoring ways to start the second half. After UCF missed a 55-yard field goal on their first drive of the half, Colorado would come out firing, with Sanders would hit a wide open Will Sheppard up the near sideline for a 32-yard gain that would ultimately set up a one yard touchdown run for Micah Welch, putting the Buffaloes up 34-14 early on in the second half.
Wide open, not much more to see here really though it did again set up an eventual touchdown which is what we all love to see, right? Colorado would struggle to find the end zone on their next drive, as they would go three and out following KJ Jefferson's second interception of the game. That being said, the Buffaloes scoreless streak wouldn't last for long as Sanders would register his third passing touchdown of the game, but not before we'd see him flash the athleticism on a 13-yard carry for a first down.
Sanders may not be the world class athlete his dad was, but he is capable of making plays with his feet from time to time. The next play following the run Sanders would dump it off to LaJohntay Wester, who would take it into the end zone from 10-yards out to further extend Colorado's ever growing advantage late in the third quarter. Colorado's offense wouldn't do much of anything for the remainder of the game, going three and out on each of their next three drives (I know the last one wasn't technically a 'three and out' but they ran the final three plays of the game so I'm counting it). Thankfully for them that didn't matter all too much, as Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig would take a KJ Jefferson fumble 95-yards the other way for the score, seeing out the game as Colorado would come out 48-21 road victors. Like I said at the beginning, not a lot of people saw this result coming. Sure maybe some out there thought Colorado would be able to pull off the upset, but I find it hard to believe anyone thought they'd come away with a 27-point victory on the road, especially since they were -12.5-point underdogs. This was a very impressive win for the Buffaloes who go into the bye week after winning the second straight conference game. We'll have to wait another week to see if they can extend that streak to three when they welcome in the Kansas State Wildcats. That should be a fun one.

2. Cam Ward, Miami (FL) (+2)
Wk 5 - 24/38 343 yds 4 touchdowns 2 interceptions/10 carries 57 yds 1 touchdown v Virginia Tech (38-34 W)
Season - 113/161 1,782 yds 18 touchdowns 4 interceptions/22 carries 146 yds 2 touchdowns
Friday night down in Miami and the Hurricanes were given a good scare by the unranked Virginia Tech Hokies. Coming in as -17.5-point favorites, I don't think there were a lot of people who thought Miami would struggle too much against a Virginia Tech team that has had their fare share of struggles to this point in the season. Like, they opened the season as -13.5-point road favorites against Vanderbilt and came out on the losing side of things with the Commodores coming away with a 34-27 overtime victory. Then we had the weird ass game against Rutgers where quarterback Kyron Drones had one of the craziest safeties I think I've ever seen, just heaving the ball out over his head out of the back of the end zone. As for Miami, they have been one of the most efficient teams in college football this season, beating every team they faced by double digits, even coming away with an impressive 41-17 victory against Florida in the Swamp. So again, I have a hard time thinking many people thought Miami would only come out with a four point victory. A stressful four point victory at that as the Hurricanes were down 27-17 midway through the third quarter, with quarterback Cam Ward having somewhat of an up and down game, at least for his standards. Having thrown two interceptions through the first four games of the season, Ward would register two after Miami's first drive of the second half while also registering a fumble on their first drive of the game, which Virginia Tech would capitalize on needing only three plays to register their first points of the game. Though not the most ideal start for Ward and the offense he would make up for it on their second drive, completing a 45-yard pas to Elijah Arroyo before zipping it in to Jacolby George from 18-yards out for Miami's first points of the game.
Very well thrown by by Ward up the far sideline, placing it right in the bread basket for the nice 45-yard gain. Also, great job by Arroyo for seeing that ball in, as the defender probably blocked his initial vision of the ball. But once the ball hit him, he was able to coral it in which is what we love to see. Again, a play later Ward would hit Jacolby George from 18-yards out to tie the game up at seven early in the first quarter.
I like how you can see Ward going through his progressions before hitting George in the end zone for the score. I also really like the play design as Arroyo's route carries the inside defender to the outside, opening up a hole in the secondary for Ward to find George with relative ease. Overall just a nice hole shot by Ward to help tie this thing back up at seven. The Hurricanes would take the lead their next time out as Ward would find Arroyo again, this time from 43-yards out to give Miami a 14-7 lead midway through the first quarter.
This may be the easiest touchdown pass of Cam Ward's colligate career. The way Virginia Tech bought the fake handoff by Ward is pretty funny, as all Ward needed to do was not miss Arroyo and Miami was going to find the end zone. It was like Arroyo wasn't even on the field the way no one on the defensive side of the ball reacted to him running right down the middle of the field. I've seen this type of play run a few times before but I don't think I've seen someone be this wide open before. Just an easy play which helped Miami take their first lead of the game. After the defense forced Virginia Tech to punt the ball away, Miami came back onto the field aiming to continue to stack touchdowns, which it looked like they were primed to d after Ward dropped a beautiful pass to Xavier Restrepo for 25-yards down the near sideline.
This is one of those plays where as a defender you just have to hold your hands up and say there was nothing more you could've done, it was just a perfect throw from Ward. Like, the Virginia Tech defender had damn near perfect position on this play, but Ward put just enough on it to get it over the top of the defender's out stretched arm to fit this into Restrepo for the big gain. The pair have just had some insane chemistry to this point in the season, so it's easier said than done to stop them when Miami's offense is cooking. Ward and Restrepo would connect again for 26-yards on the final play of the first quarter to get the Hurricanes to the Hokie nine yard line, but a few plays later Ward would throw his first interception of the game, his second turnover to this point as well.
Not the greatest decision from Cam Ward on this throw, as he was completely baited into trying to hit Restrepo for what could've been an easy touchdown. This was really well read by the Virginia Tech defender because I'm sure Ward thought that he had an open receiver and again, an easy touchdown. Just not a great throw from Ward and Virginia Tech would capitalize on the turnover by scoring a touchdown of their own in just three plays. Miami would struggle to put things together on their next few drives as they'd be forced to punt, though Ward would make some good plays here and there throughout, namely his 'Mahomey' esc. throw to Jordan Lyle that would go for 17 on third and seven.
As a Bills fan I hate when people say 'that was a little Mahomey,' but in this instance I'll allow it because that phrase is so common that I think it's the only way I can truly describe this type of throw, if that makes sense. But with a defender in his face, Ward does a nice job at changing his arm angle, getting the ball around the defender to Lyle to pick up more than just the first down. It's a very impressive play from Ward though again, it wouldn't amount to much as the Hurricanes would be forced to punt a few plays later. Miami's next drive would see Ward pick up another first down with his arm, this time coming on third and 15 at their own 20-yard line.
I love the effort from Cam Ward on this play. Knowing the situation is key when playing quarterback, thus knowing you can't take a sack and knowing you need at least 16-yards in order to pick up the first down. Ward does an excellent job at not only extending the play but also keeping his eyes down the field trying to find an open receiver, even 'stiff arming' a defensive lineman in the process. Like, the dude even glanced over to the sideline to make sure he had enough room to work with. The awareness on this play from Ward is really good to see and it ultimately helped Miami picked up a first down. Much like the last drive though, despite Ward making an impressive play to help extend the drive on third down Miami would be forced to punt the ball away again. That being said, after a solid kick return Miami was able to come away with three points just before halftime, though they would still find themselves down 24-17 going into the locker room for halftime. The Hurricanes' touchdown drought would continue into the second half, as Ward would register his second interception of the game on Miami's first drive of the half.
Maybe I didn't need to upload the full clip with the run back but oh well, it's still not a great throw from Cam Ward. With two Virginia Tech defenders in coverage, Ward throws this ball behind Restrepo which leads to the ball get deflected and eventually picked off and brought back the other way. It sucks though because if he had led Restrepo to the outside rather than have thrown it behind him maybe he could've had another passing touchdown. Instead, he registers his second interception of the game as well as his third total turnover. Ward would make up for it on Miami's next offensive possession, with a throw to Jacolby George going for 15 and an absolute prayer to Isaiah Horton going for 21 (thanks to an impressive diving catch) setting up an eventual 17-yard touchdown run by Ward to get the Hurricanes back to within three late in the third quarter.
You don't really think of Ward as a runner but he has been known to make these types of plays in the past (i.e. his diving touchdown against Florida A&M). He's so good from the pocket that I think his athleticism can get lost on some people. Like, he may not be the burner Jalen Milroe is, but Ward is more than effective when running with the football, as you see him go relatively untouched until he reaches the goal line for the score. Ward would follow that touchdown up with another one on their next drive, only this time it was with his arm. Before then though we'd see him complete a pass to Samuel Brown that would go for 25-yards and push Miami to the Virginia Tech side of the 50.
Ward absolutely zipped this ball into Brown for the first down. This pass really couldn't have been thrown much better. Like, Ward let this ball go before Brown was past his defender. This is just a great job at anticipating where your receiver is going to be, throwing it right off the inside shoulder of the defender and getting it to him before his route carries him into the path of another defender. Ward didn't sit and wait for another window to open up, he saw one he liked and didn't think twice about it, again just a really good throw. Ward would pick up 19-yards on the ground a few plays later before finding Cam McCormick from six yards out in the back of the end zone to make the score 34-31 midway through the fourth quarter. After Miami's defense came up big forcing Virginia Tech to go three and out, Miami would take the lead with less than two minutes left thanks to a one yard touchdown pass by Cam Ward. That being said it didn't always seem like Miami was going to score on this drive as Ward was sacked on the very first play of the drive. They would also be forced to go for in on fourth and three, where Xavier Restrepo had to make a miracle catch from his backside in order for Miami to pick up the first down. A few plays later, Ward would be forced to shovel it to Riley Williams to avoid being sacked, which ended up going for 26-yards and helped set up Miami's eventual game winning touchdown.
Ward was dead to rights a few times on this play though was still able to get something off to avoid taking a sack. Like, he literally broke out of two would be sacks before shoveling it to his tight end who stiff armed a defender and brought it all the way down to the one yard line. This play just makes no sense, but Ward just seems to have a knack for making something out of seemingly nothing, which helped Miami not only comeback and take a late lead, but helped them take home a 38-34 victory. Cam Ward has an innate ability to just make plays. Sure he had a little bite of the turnover bug in this one, but he more than made up for it by registering five touchdowns while also making game saving plays in the process. Right now I think Jalen Milroe has the upper hand on Ward in regards to the Heisman race, but trust me dude isn't far behind. For this coming week though I'm intrigued to see how Ward and the Hurricanes do on the road agains the Cal Golden Bears. With a 3-1 record and a win against Auburn, Cal could cause some problems for Miami in their cross country road trip. That being said, I think Ward and co. may just be a little too much to handle, coming away with their third road victory of the season.

Season - 62/85 964 yds 10 touchdowns 1 interception/52 carries 273 yds 8 touchdowns
Welcome to the first round Jalen Milroe! Now, I know what some of you are saying, and I agree that Jalen Milroe was already in that first round conversation, but this game against Georgia all but cemented his place among the first round quarterbacks. Despite getting benched early on last year, Milroe has continued to get better and better as time has gone on, showcasing an impressive array of skills in both the passing and running game. Like, as of right now, you kind of have to say Milroe is the frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy, right? As much as I like Miami's Cam Ward, who I think was the frontrunner going into the week, I just don't expect us to see many better overall performances this season than the one Milroe had against the second ranked Georgia Bulldogs, throwing for nearly 400-yards with 117-rush yards and four total touchdowns, it was a truly remarkable showing and has definitely put the NFL Draft world on notice. Now, I don't know if I was in the minority or not, but I did fully expect Alabama to come away with a home victory. Like if you just sat back and watched both Alabama and Georgia this year I would think you would've come away with the same prediction. That being said, what I did not expect was for Georgia to spot Alabama 21-points in the first quarter alone, before going up 28 with just over 12 minutes to go in the second quarter. It looked like we were in for a route, and who could blame someone for thinking that as Georgia not only was down 28 but they also punted and threw an interception on each of their first three drives. As for Milroe, he came out guns a blazing, hitting Emmanuel Henderson Jr. for 34-yards on Alabama's first drive of the game.
This is a prime example of knowing your match-up. Sure, Henderson had only registered two catches up to that point in the season, but with a first year starter in coverage Milroe smartly took advantage and came up with a big time throw down the near sideline. Then, after a holding call pushed them back to the Georgia 25, Milroe flashes his insane athleticism, turning a potential sack into a 16-yard rush.
There's not a lot of quarterbacks in college football, let alone this draft that could evade an unblocked Georgia defender and turn it up field for a 16-yard gain. That's the thing with Jalen Milroe, as much as he's improved throughout the last two seasons as a passer, it's plays like this that make him such a headache for opposing defensive coordinators. We've said it before, Milroe is the most athletic quarterback in this draft class (not that that's a crazy shout by me), and plays like that more than prove that. Milroe would carry the ball two more times on the drive, picking up seven to give the Crimson Tide the first down and get them to the two yard line before taking it in on a quarterback sweep to the left to give Alabama the seven point lead early. After the Alabama defense forced Georgia to punt after four plays, Milroe and the offense would find the end zone again, with Milroe completing three passes for over 15-yards (the second one was just a hitch route that Kendrick Law ended up taking for 19), the last one resulting in six on a beautifully thrown wheel route to running back Jam Miller that would give Alabama a 14-0 later on in the first.
Look at the Georgia linebacker on this play, that little hesitation once Miller went in motion made this an easy decision for Milroe to make. That's one of the reasons they call football 'the game of inches' because even slightly hesitating can free up a player enough to make it a nice and simple pitch and catch between quarterback and receiver, or in this case running back. Still, this was a fantastic throw by Milroe, placing the ball right over the defender's shoulder and into Miller's bread basket. You couldn't really have drawn the play up any better as everything worked to near perfection which again, helped put the Crimson Tide up 14 with just under five minutes to go in the first quarter. Alabama's offense wouldn't get too much of a rest on the sideline as Georgia quarterback Carson Beck would throw his first of three interceptions on the Bulldogs next drive. After getting the ball at the Georgia 22-yard line, Milroe and co. would need just three plays to punch it into the end zone, Germie Bernard taking it in from seven yards out on a sweep to further extend Alabama's lead with about two and half minutes left in the quarter. Alabama's offense would take the field again shortly after as the defense would force Georgia to go three and out. After hitting Ryan Williams twice for seven yards and tight end CJ Dippre for 15, Milroe would call his own number from 36-yards out, giving him his second rushing touchdown of the game just a few minutes into the second quarter.
This is again another example of Milroe's natural athletic ability. Like, do you know how fast Georgia's defense is? With that, do you know how hard it is to out run Georgia defenders, especially as a quarterback? On fourth down? I do respect that decision from Kalen DeBoer and co., going for it on fourth down up 21 at the start of the second quarter. When you have a quarterback like Milroe who can make plays like that than why not, right? Also, I must mention I'm impressed by Milroe's balance along the sideline, not going out of bounds after the defender first made contact and then tip toeing down the sideline for the score, just a great all around play for Alabama which again put them up 28 in the second quarter. Though they would turn it over after failing to convert on another fourth down on their next drive, Milroe still managed to flash the athleticism again, picking up a first down on first and 19 after an unnecessary roughness penalty pushed them back to their own 16-yard line.
Though maybe not the exact same thing, but here's another example of Milroe turning a potential sack into a first down and a massive gain by using his legs. He's just an insane threat when he's in the pocket because you don't know whether he's going to kill you with his arm or his legs, and on this occasion he decided to go with the latter and pick up 26-yards and a first down. Like I said before though, Alabama would try to go for it on fourth down on this drive as well but unlike their previous attempt Jam Miller would get jammed up at the line of scrimmage giving the ball back to Georgia at their own 35-yard line. I would say thankfully that mistake wouldn't seem so bad because of the Bulldogs' very first play Beck would throw his second interception of the game, but Milroe would return the favor on Alabama's following drive trying to CJ Dippre in the red zone.
Look, I understand what Milroe is trying to do to a certain extent. With Dippre's route carrying him into the path of two Georgia defenders, Milroe tries to place the ball on his outside shoulder, trying to avoid a potential turnover. Unfortunately Dippre couldn't bring in the ball, which caused it to pop up and land in the grateful arms of a Bulldog defender. Again, I understand what Milroe was trying to do, it just wasn't a great throw which led to the pass being intercepted. Though Milroe's interception killed a potential Alabama touchdown, the defense would come up big and register a safety, making the score 30-7 with less than two minutes to go in the half, which would end up being the halftime score as Alabama would be forced to punt on their following drive. Alabama would go three and out on their first drive of the second half but they would register a field goal on their second drive, which was set up by a 54-yard hook-up between Milroe and Ryan Williams.
With pressure in his face, Milroe is still able to stand tall in the pocket and deliver a very nice ball down the field for Williams to make a play on it. For as good of an athlete as Milroe obviously is, as I've pointed out numerous times to this point, it's nice to see him deliver passes like this. Normally when a quarterback as mobile as Milroe gets pressured they try to extend the play with their feet before either throwing it down field or trying to pick up some yards on the ground so again, I really like this play from Milore and hope it's something we continue to see as he develops. Though the pass play was nice and would set Alabama up at the Georgia 13, the Crimson Tide would have to settle for a field goal as the drive would stall out on the next three plays. Bama would struggle to move the ball on their next few drives, amassing just five, 13, and 23 yards on their following three drives. That definitely wasn't the most ideal way to kick off the fourth quarter as Georgia would take full advantage of Alabama's struggles and take a 34-33 lead with Beck connecting with Dillon Bell for a 67-yard score with under three minutes left in the game. Thankfully though, Alabama knows how to score and score quickly, matching Georgia's one play drive with a one play drive of their own as Milroe would hit Ryan Williams for a 75-yard touchdown to give the lead back to the Crimson Tide.
Though it's not the prettiest throw of all time I do like Milroe trying to hit Williams on his back shoulder. With the defender going stride for stride with the receiver, normally your best bet for a completion is to throw this back shoulder rather than try and hit him up the field due to the fact that the defender has inside leverage. Williams, in turn, does a very nice job at not only adjusting to the ball but making a miraculous play after the catch, helping Alabama re-take the lead one play after Georgia took it from them late in the fourth quarter. Though Georgia would put forth a valiant final effort, yet another Beck interception would help Alabama come away with a 41-34 home victory, handing the Bulldogs their first regular season loss since 2020. This win not only pushed Alabama to the top of the college football rankings, but also placed Jalen Milroe firmly in the first round discussion. This was a 'look at me' type of performance from Milroe that sees him place one hand on the Heisman Trophy. I don't know if we'll see many performances better than this throughout the rest of the season, and I'm intrigued to see how he builds on this as the season progresses. This week Alabama travels to Nashville to take on an improved Vanderbilt team coming off a bye. Though the Commodores took Missouri to overtime on the road, I don't see them giving Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide too many problems on Saturday.

How the turn tables, am I right? Before the season started, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck was seen as one of the clear top quarterbacks in the 2025 Draft, but after his recent showing against Alabama last Saturday many out there are starting to question his true position amongst the draft's top prospects. Out of all the weeks to have arguably your worst colligate performance, this wasn't it. Sure playing well against Alabama in Tuscaloosa is a lot easier said than done, but when you're again considered one of the top players in your respective position you have to rise above the occasion and perform, which is something Beck really struggled to do, turning the ball over four times and giving up a safety in the 41-34 loss. What makes things worse for Beck is that the quarterback on the opposite sideline, Jalen Milroe, had one of the best performances we've seen so far this season. Not only is Beck competing with Milroe at the colligate level, but now he's also competing with him for draft position, and right now Milroe has got the lead in both categories, which is certainly less than ideal. Sure Beck helped claw Georgia back into the game, getting them from being down 28 in the second quarter to taking the lead in the fourth, but the overall game just wasn't it, and it started off rather early as he would throw his first of three interceptions on Georgia's second drive of the game.
This is a prime example of miscommunication between quarterback and wide receiver, as there was no Georgia receiver really close to the ball when Beck let it go. Sure Oscar Delp is in the area but he's clearly ready to start blocking the defender as this looks like a set up screen-ish play, but with Arian Smith cutting up field instead of cutting back, it makes for an unfortunate interception. It must be said though great awareness from Domani Jackson on that play, as the ball was on him in the blink of an eye. Down 14 already, things would just continue to go from bad to worse as Alabama would capitalize on the turnover and take a commanding 21-0 lead with less than three minutes left in the opening quarter. Though Georgia would go three and out on their next offensive position, they would be able to eventually find the end zone midway through the second thanks to a Trevor Etienne seven yard run, making the score 28-7. On this 11-play drive we would see Beck make a couple solid throws, with the best going to Arian Smith for a 20-yard gain to get the Bulldogs to the Crimson Tide 13-yard line.
Nice job by Beck at finding Smith between the two Alabama defenders. With one in front and one coming in from the top there's very little room for Beck to work with, yet he's able to fit it in nicely and help set Georgia up in the Alabama red zone. Two plays later, Etienne would again punch it in from seven yards out to make the game a little more respectable, but on the first play of their next drive Beck would throw his second interception of the game, once again coming in their own territory.
This one was much worse than the first, as I honestly don't know what Beck saw on this play. If there was any chance of completing this pass the throw would have had to been beyond perfect, but with four to five Alabama defenders in the area the room for error was next to zero, and Beck hit Jihaad Campbell right in the chest. Though the Georgia defense would come up big by picking off Jalen Milroe in the red zone, Beck would get called for intentional grounding in the end zone, thus resulting in a safety and growing Alabama's lead to 23 just before halftime. Though Georgia would go three and out on their first drive of the second half, they would put together a nice 15-play drive their second time out, with Beck registering his first passing touchdown of the game.
I like play designs like this. The fake toss to Etienne freezes the linebackers and the get off and separation from Smith makes this a very easy throw for Beck, which was something he needed at this point in the game. That was pretty much Georgia's entire drive, with almost every pass play being either a screen or a few yards past the line of scrimmage, giving Beck some easy completions to help him regain some confidence that was damaged after that first half. Georgia would end up going for two after that touchdown, with Beck hitting Lawson Luckie in the back of the end zone to make the score 30-15 later on in the third quarter.
This was a tough throw by Beck, as he had to throw this ball completely across his body to hit Luckie for the two point conversion. The initial get off by Luckie allowed him to create separation but still, throwing across your body is never easy, especially when you have a condensed field. That being said Beck made this throw look pretty routine as Georgia cut into Alabama's massive lead here in the third quarter. After holding Alabama to a field goal, Georgia's offense looked to build on their previous touchdown, and it kind of looked like they would, especially after Beck hit Dillon Bell for 12-yards on fourth and six to edge them closer to the 50.
With the safety crashing down and the corner blanketing Bell this throw from Beck needed to be put right on the receiver's hip, which it pretty much was. Like I've said a couple times so far, there was little room for error from Beck and he made a good throw to help extend the drive. The only issue is is that Beck would get strip sacked on the very next play, which of course Alabama would recover. Thankfully though for the Bulldogs offense is that the defense would force a three and out. After the ensuing punt went into the end zone for a touchback, Beck would orchestrate a nice 80-yard drive, culminating with his second passing touchdown of the game. Before the score Beck would make some accurate throws down the field that would pick up first downs, hitting Anthony Evans III for 21-yards before finding Colbie Young for a 34-yard gain up the near sideline, helping set up an eight yard touchdown to Lawson Luckie to get Georgia back to within 12.
Like I said before, when you condense the field it makes the throwing lanes a little harder to find, and Beck throws a very nice ball to Luckie for the score. With the defender's momentum carrying him inside, Beck does a nice job at placing the ball on Luckie's back shoulder, turning him away from the defender and into a more open area of the end zone (good job by Luckie as well at adjusting to the throw). Beck did a very nice job at recognizing the coverage and making an accurate throw for the score. The Bulldogs would attempt to go for two after the score, but unfortunately Beck's pass would get deflected at the line of scrimmage and fall incomplete, leaving the score at 33-21 midway through the fourth quarter. Carson Beck would continue to make good throws on Georgia's next drive, hitting Cash Jones on their first play for 30-yards before hitting Arian Smith up the far sideline for a 47-yard gain, thus setting up a three yard run by Dillon Bell.
Though the 47-yard hookup with Smith got them down to the Alabama one yard line, Beck's throw to Jones was more impressive in my opinion as if he over or under throws this pass it's likely intercepted. Beck did a very nice job at not only climbing the pocket but also placing the ball in between the two Bama defenders in coverage, fitting it in a fairly small window. Georgia would continue to stack touchdowns on their next drive, as Beck would only need one play to take the lead against the Crimson Tide, hitting a wide open Dillon Bell for a 67-yard touchdown.
What a turnaround by Beck and the Georgia Bulldogs. After being down 28-0 in the second quarter (with Beck turning the ball over three times up to that point) the Bulldogs were able to claw their way back and take the lead with under three minutes to go in the game. With pressure in his face after the pump fake, Beck was kind of forced to throw this ball off his back foot. Thankfully for him, Bell had been freed up thanks to the aforementioned pump fake and all Beck needed to do was not miss the open receiver, which he did not, leading to Bell taking it in for the score. I'm going to be honest, I didn't see this turnaround happening after the first quarter, so credit to Beck and the Bulldogs for clawing their way back into this game. Unfortunately for them, Alabama would strike on their first play of the drive as Milroe would hit Ryan Williams for a 75-yard score to give the Crimson Tide the lead once again in the fourth. That score gave Georgia one final chance to steal the road victory. Though Beck would make some big plays on said final drive, he would end up throwing his third interception of the game trying to find Colbie Young in the end zone.
They had the match-up they wanted, the 6'3" senior receiver on the true freshman corner, but Beck just didn't get enough on it which led to it being intercepted. This was really well played by the freshman, playing off far enough against the bigger receiver, giving him enough time to react and adjust on the ball, leading to the interception. Just an unfortunate way for the game to end for Georgia who again battled tooth and nail to get back into this game, just for their comeback attempt to be ripped away from them with less than a minute to go in the game. Though it was far from his best performance I do have to give credit to Carson Beck for battling back the way he did. You want to see how your quarterback responds to adversity and Beck did that, again just unfortunate that the game ended the way it did. This week Beck and the Bulldogs take on the Auburn Tigers, who are coming off their second straight conference loss, losing at home 27-21 to Oklahoma. We'll see how Georgia is able to bounce back against their second straight Alabama opponent.

If you're a fan of high flying action and lots of points then you turned on the wrong game cause this match-up between Penn State and Illinois was your typical Big 10 slug fest that saw the teams tied up at seven going into halftime. That being said, it didn't really look that way from the start as both teams registered touchdowns on their first drives of the game, with both traveling 75-yards in the process. At the start it actually looked like we could be in for a barn burner, but after the smoke cleared and everyone settled down we got back down to brass tax and saw this game for what it really was, and I wouldn't have wanted it to go any other way. As for individual performances Penn State's running back duo of Kaytron Allen and Nicholas Singleton really carried them to victory, as the pair totaled 34 carries for 196-yards on the ground. Other than them quarterback Drew Allar had himself a solid game, throwing for 135-yards and rushing for a further 15 with no turnovers, though he also didn't register any touchdowns in the process. Despite the minimal numbers, Allar played his part in Penn State's victory, making some solid throws throughout the course of the game, i.e. his throw of the game to Harrison Wallace III that went for 20-yards on their first offensive play of the game.
One thing about Drew Allar, he has a ridiculously strong arm, and it was on display there. Like I've mentioned with quarterbacks before, Allar has a thing call 'arm arrogance' where he feels he can fit any ball into any window on the field, regardless of how big or small the window is. I know this wasn't the best example of that since the window he threw into was fairly big but still, just look at how the ball rips through the air, beating the defenders to the ball and hitting Wallace in the chest for the first down. Allar would flash the athleticism on the next play, picking up 11-yards on the ground which would get Penn State to the Illinois side of the 50. He may not be the most graceful athlete but he can be effective when he turns it up field. A few plays later Allar would hit Singleton on a little wing route to the running back that would take Penn State down to the eight yard line where Tyler Warren would punch it in from eight yards out to tie the game back up at seven. Allar wouldn't be asked to do too much on Penn State's following drives, though we would see him zip another ball into the chest of a receiver, this time being the touchdown scored Tyler Warren for a 15-yard gain. Weirdly, Penn State would only have four drives in the first half, registering a touchdown, a punt, and a missed field goal, with the final drive seeing them go into the locker room with the score again tied at seven.
All in all I'd say this was a solid game from Allar. Though he wasn't asked to do too much he didn't t turn the ball over, made solid throws throughout, and helped Penn State continue their undefeated season. I would expect the Nittany Lions to continue their undefeated ways this weekend as they take on the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins have the worst pass defense in the Big 10, so this could be a game for Allar to really flex his muscles and really let it loose on Saturday.

7. Garrett Nussmeier, LSU (+1)
Wk 5 - 26/39 409 yds 2 touchdowns 2 interceptions/2 carries 6 yds 2 touchdowns v South Alabama (42-10 W)
Season - 139/199 1,656 yds 15 touchdowns 4 interceptions/6 carries -5 yds 2 touchdowns
I don't know why, but I was expecting South Alabama to put up a little more of a fight in this game. Maybe it's because I watched them drop 87-points a couple weekends ago or something, cause I was fully expecting them to score more than 10, especially against this LSU defense. Like, this defense made UCLA look competent for a half, so if UCLA could score then maybe South Alabama could some of the same things. Now, I'm not sitting here and saying the Jaguars should've been able to upset the Tigers in Baton Rouge, I still thought LSU would win by double digits, but I did think that they would be able to cover the -20.5-point spread. Maybe I'm just stupid, I don't know. Last Saturday night LSU took care of business, coming away with a 42-10 home victory, with quarterback Garrett Nussmeier throwing for a season high 409-passing yards with four total touchdowns, two of those being his first and second rushing touchdowns of the season. Now, he did also throw a couple interceptions in this game, but we'll get to those later because he came out swinging right out the gate, hitting Caden Durham in the flat who would take it 71-yards on the first play of the game for a touchdown. Nothing too special from Nussmeier, as he threw it to Durham pretty much right as he received the snap from center. The play design was perfect, as Durham went relatively untouched on his way to the end zone, one of the easiest touchdown passes Nussmeier will ever throw. LSU's next drive would only be a play longer than their first, as Durham would take the handoff from Nussmeier 87-yards to the goal line, setting up a quarterback sneak from a yard out to give the Tigers a 14-0 lead after running just three plays, pretty impressive stuff from the LSU offense. The offense would continue their scoring ways their next time out as well, though they would need to run 11-plays to find the end zone this time with Nussmeier making some solid throws along the way, namely where he hit an open CJ Daniels for a 29-yard gain to get LSU to the South Alabama 25-yard line.
Just a very easy throw from Nussmeier to Daniels as he had literally all day to throw, and with Daniels being as open as he was it made for a simple pitch and catch between quarterback and wide receiver. Nussmeier would complete a couple more passes along the drive but it would be Caden Durham who would wrap things up with a eight yard touchdown run, giving LSU a nice 21-0 lead with under five minutes to go in the first quarter. Their next drive would wield a similar result, with Nussmeier taking it in from five yards out to register his second rushing touchdown of the game. Only needing five plays to find the end zone, Nussmeier would connect with Kyren Lacy for 25-yards on a corner stop route on third and six that would help set up the score. Much like the throw to Daniels, Nussmeier had a good pocket and a good amount of time to throw, hitting Lacy between a few defenders for the nice gain. LSU would be forced to punt after going three and out on the following drive but would find the end zone again with less than five minutes to go in the half with Nussmeier making some really nice throws along the way.
This is elite ball placement from Nussmeier. With every receiver running verticals down the field, everyone in one on one coverage, Nussmeier sees the Jaguar defender react late to the play, giving him a favorable match-up with his tight end. Like, he places this ball right on the tip of the defender's out stretched arm, in a spot where only Taylor could make a play on the ball. Again, perfect ball placement from Nussmeier, and he would follow that up by hitting Aaron Anderson a play later for a 23-yard touchdown.
Again, solid ball placement from Nussmeier on this touchdown pass. Sure the ball may have been a little bit behind his intended receiver but he once again placed it right over the out stretched arm of another Jaguar defender, with Anderson adjusting nice to the ball to come down with it and land in the end zone for six. Though the ball placement was really good from Nussmeier on this drive, the following drive would not bear the same fruit as he would throw a pretty ugly interception with 21-seconds to go in the half.
I like the awareness and movement in the pocket but this is just a really hard throw to make, especially on the move. Yes Anderson is open to a certain extent, but with the defender standing between him and Nussmeier you would have to get a lot more on the throw than he did. Again, it's a difficult throw to make on the move, and it was rightfully intercepted, it just sucks because if he got enough on it and led his receiver up the field it could've been a really solid gain for the Tigers, possibly helping them register even more points before the halftime whistle. What sucks for Nussmeier is that he'd follow up that interception by throwing another one on LSU's first drive of the second half, trying to force the ball to Kyren Lacy deep in South Alabama territory.
I've said this on more than one occasion, but Nussmeier has this thing we like to call 'arm arrogance,' which is where he thinks he can fit a ball through any window, no matter how small, because he's got the arm to get it through. We see this a lot in the development of young quarterbacks, and it's definitely Nussmeier needs to improve on because there was less than a percentage chance that this ball was getting through to Lacy. With two South Alabama defenders tightly in coverage, the throw would've had to have been absolutely perfect. Not near perfect, just perfect, which it wasn't, as the throw was behind his intended receiver. That being said, even if the throw was on target, I still think this pass is getting intercepted, the odds are just too great. Again, there's no doubt Nussmeier has a fantastic arm, but he's got to learn that he can't fit every ball through the eye of a needle, but that'll come with development. All that being said, Nussmeier would orchestrate a nice 99-yard drive to get LSU on the scoreboard once again, starting off by hitting Lacy for 16-yards from the end zone to give them some more breathing room.
It's not very fun looking down at your feet and seeing the yellow of the end zone, especially with a defender jumping up at the line of scrimmage when you're about to release the ball. No need to fear though, as Nussmeier places this ball perfectly in between two South Alabama defenders, dropping it to Lacy for the 16-yard gain. Nussmeier and Lacy would hook up again at the start of the fourth quarter, with the pair going for 35-yards to get the Tigers down to the Jaguar four yard line.
This is another example of 'arm arrogance' from Nussmeier as he threw this ball on a rope to Lacy from off his back foot, not to mention there's a South Alabama defender barreling down on him right as he's about to release the ball. This is just a really nice throw from Nussmeier which again helped set up LSU's first touchdown of the second half coming way by a four yard run by Josh Williams, making the score 42-10 at the start of the fourth. That touchdown would pretty much wrap up the game, as Nussmeier would play one more drive before Brian Kelly put in Rickie Collins to help see out the game. Though the interceptions weren't ideal this was still a very solid showing from Garrett Nussmeier as his arm talent and ball placement were fully on display in LSU's 42-10 home victory. There's a lot of stuff to build on for Nussmeier and I can't wait to see his match-up against Ole Miss and Jaxson Dart after the bye week as the Tigers welcome the Rebels to Death Valley on October 12th. Should make for a really exciting game.

8. Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss (-1)
Wk 5 - 18/27 261 yds 1 touchdown 0 interceptions/13 carries 22 yds 0 touchdowns v Kentucky (20-17 L)
Season - 113/146 1,815 yds 13 touchdowns 2 interceptions/36 carries 112 yds 3 touchdowns
This is result I was not expecting to see, and I'm sure most of you out there would agree with me. To this point in the season (though they hadn't be thoroughly tested) Ole Miss was steam rolling everyone put in front of them, scoring more then 50-points in three of their previous four wins with quarterback Jaxson Dart leading the nation in passing yards. Everything was just real easy for the Rebels to start the season, and though they were heading into their first SEC game of the season against Kentucky, I don't think many feared for Ole Miss in this one. Sure Kentucky had that close encounter with Georgia, but that just had to be because they were amped up playing the Bulldogs at night at home, right? Like, that same Kentucky team got beat 31-6 by South Carolina at home the previous week, so the Georgia game was again, a fluke right? Well, I guess not, or maybe Ole Miss was the fluke because Kentucky went down to Oxford and came away with a 20-17 road victory. This was the first time Ole Miss lost to Kentucky since 2011, and only the second time they've lost to them this century, so history plus current form meant Ole Miss should've won the game, especially since they were -15.5-point favorites. Welp, sorry sports fans, that's not how it always works. Now, that being said, it did look like the Rebels were firing on all cylinders on their first drive as they marched 83-yards in just six plays to take their first lead of the game, with Dart's 39-yard completion to Tre Harris setting up a Henry Parrish Jr. one yard touchdown run.
One thing I like about Jaxson Dart is that he is always a threat to run. Now, he may not be as electric as Lamar Jackson or Jayden Daniels but he is affective. He's just a natural athlete and you can see glimpses of that on this throw. Yes, Harris is wide open in the middle of the field, but Dart does an excellent job at not only breaking away from the first tackler, but also stepping up in the pocket and delivering a nice ball on the move while another defender is coming in from the left. Just a solid overall play that again helped set up Ole Miss' first touchdown of the game. Though they'd find the end zone early on in the game, the Rebels would struggle to move the ball as the rest of the first half went on, punting on their next three possessions before their final two play drive to end the half which saw Dart get sacked before going into the locker room. The long and short of it, Dart had little to no time to do anything in the pocket, whereas offensively Kentucky was putting forth some nice long drives, posting three 10+ play drives in the first half, with the longest going for 15. That being said Ole Miss would finally register some points on their first drive of the half, as Caden Davis would convert a 31-yard field goal to tie the game up at 10. Though their next drive would result in a fumble, we'd see Dart make a very nice throw to Tre Harris down the near sideline for a nice 39-yard gain.
Sure the defender covering Harris fell down, but this is still a very nice throw from Dart, especially given the fact that there's a defender barreling down on him as he makes the throw. That's what I like to see, quarterbacks standing tall in the pocket and delivering nice balls down the field in the face of pressure. Regardless of how hard they actually end up getting hit it's still good to see. Dart and Harris would connect again on this drive, but Harris would lose control of the ball at the Kentucky 19-yard line, which of course the Wildcats would jump on thus ending a solid drive for the Rebels. Thankfully for Ole Miss Kentucky wouldn't do much with the ball after the turnover, as the defense would force them to punt after just four plays. Harris would more than make up for his fumble on Ole Miss' next drive, as him and Dart would hook up for a 48-yard touchdown to give the Rebels the lead with 10-seconds left in the third quarter.
Though Harris did most of the work on this touchdown connection, I do like Dart's calmness under pressure. With Kentucky sending a blitz, on fourth and seven no less, Dart stays calm and delivers a nice ball for Harris to make a play with, which of course he did. Just a good overall play from the Rebels' offense, again giving them the lead late in the third quarter. Unfortunately for them that would be the last time they'd register a single point, as their next two drives saw them go three and out before missing a 48-yard field goal with (ironically) 48-seconds left in the game. On that final drive though, Dart would make some throws that would help Ole Miss get into field goal territory, i.e. hitting Caden Prieskorn down the field for a whopping 42-yard gain on fourth and 11.
If we're being honest, this was a prayer shot by Jaxson Dart, as he knew he just had to get the ball down the field otherwise the game would be over. Regardless of if this ball was picked off or not, Dart just needed to launch something down the field in the area of a receiver and thankfully for him Prieskorn was able to come down with the ball. Now, this is pretty bad defending on the part of the Kentucky player, as he didn't even attempt to make a play on the ball until after Prieskorn brought the ball in. All in all, pretty much everything about this play was lucky, but as the old saying goes, sometimes it's better to be lucky than good, which again helped set the Rebels up in Wildcat territory. Though they'd find themselves in plus territory, Dart made some very scary plays with the ball in his hands. First he took a sack which initially pushed them out of field goal territory before fumbling the ball while carrying it down the near sideline. Now, I am aware he knew Kentucky was getting flagged for jumping offsides but still, you cannot afford to be that lackadaisical with the ball in your hands, regardless of if you think there is going to be a flag thrown or not. A few plays later Caden Davis would miss a 48-yard field goal attempt, which saw Kentucky come away 20-17 road victors against the sixth ranked Rebels. This was not a fun Saturday for Ole Miss fans, as I'm sure most of them expect them to come away with yet another double digit win (maybe not a 30+ point win but still). As for Jaxson Dart, he had some decent moments throughout but late in the game you have to be smarter with the ball in your hands. Again, I understand there was a flag coming, but you still can't afford to be that loose with the football, especially in that situation. There's definitely things to improve on for Ole Miss and we'll see how they rectify those mistakes on the road against a good South Carolina Gamecocks team.
