The Draft "Expert" - Wk 7 2027 NFL Draft Quarterback Prospect Rankings
Hello everybody and welcome back to yet another exciting and exhilarating Draft "Expert" blog post! As I'm sure you can probably tell be the title, in this one we will be taking a look at my week seven quarterback prospect rankings for the 2027 NFL Draft! I know I pretty much say the same thing to start every blog post, but how could you not love this, right?
With each week that passes, the closer we get to the end of the college football season. I mean hell, we're past the midway point of October, which is just crazy to think about. As sad as that is, it only means that we are that much closer to the draft, which is definitely something to look forward to!
I know for most out there the draft doesn't hit anywhere near the same as the college football season, and that's completely understandable. College football is truly the backbone of this country, and to know hat we're that much closer to seasons end is pretty sad. But that doesn't mean we still can't have fun here!
Much like I spoke about a couple weeks ago, this week's blog features four quarterbacks who were either out due to injury or their team was on a bye, making for less analysis than you're used to seeing. Despite that there is a good amount of movement in this week's post compared to the ones before, as we see a new number two with two new faces also entering the top five. Now it's your job to see who those are!
Alright alright I'm done. Now, with all that being said let's get right into it! I Logan Blackman, host of the Logan Blackman Show and self proclaimed Draft "Expert" am proud to present to you my week seven quarterback prospect rankings for the 2027 NFL Draft! Enjoy!

1. Drew Mestemaker, Oklahoma State
Wk 7 - 22/34 365 yds 3 touchdowns 1 interception/6 carries 34 yds 0 touchdowns @ no.20 Houston (35-32 L)
Season - 136/203 1,940 yds 16 touchdowns 6 interceptions/21 carries 142 yds 2 touchdowns
Billed out to be one of the more exciting games of the young college football season, Oklahoma State and Houston feature two of the most explosive offenses in the country, both quarterbacked by two talented individuals who come from completely different backgrounds (as far as football goes). On the Houston sideline stands Conner Weigman, a former five star prospect out of high school who was once considered to be one of the top quarterback prospects in all of college football. Despite only starting four games at Texas A&M prior to the 2024 season, Weigman was considered by most to be a top five quarterback prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft. A good sized athlete with a strong arm and a baseball background, Weigman possessed a lot of traits of what scouts look for in today's NFL quarterbacks. Notice how I said "traits," because the play itself never fully materialized, as he put forth a pretty abysmal performance against then seventh ranked Notre Dame at home before eventually benched benched for current Aggie starter Marcel Reed in an eventual 38-23 win against LSU. Transferring to his home city of Houston to play for the Cougars, Weigman put forth a solid season last year and has come out the gates firing this time around, registering 26-total touchdowns (including this one) through their first seven. Everyone knows the story of Drew Mestemaker by now (especially those who read my blog posts) but I wanted to once again highlight Weigman's journey to give light to the fact that regardless of their backgrounds, they lead some pretty high powered offenses. To say this game was a fun one would be an understatement, though Mestemaker and co. would ultimately away losers as they fell by the score 35-32. Despite the loss Mestemaker still put forth yet another solid performance, going 22/34 for 365-yards with three touchdowns and one interception while also registering 34-yards on the ground. With that being said things would start off in Oklahoma State's favor, as the defense would force a Weigman interception before Mestemaker and the offense would take it all the way down to the plus five yard line and come away with a field goal, giving them a 3-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
I know I didn't mention it above, but this 20-yard pass from Mestemaker to Miles Coleman helped get the Cowboy offense down to the Cougar 10-yard line. After scanning the field, Mestemaker starts working his way up the pocket before firing the ball to an open Coleman, putting it right on his body for the aforementioned 20-yard gain. A few plays later kicker Sam Keltner would convert from 23-yards out to give them their first lead of the game with 8:39 to go in the first quarter. Mestemaker could come out firing early on Oklahoma State's next possession, rolling to his left and hitting Wyatt Young down the far sideline for a 54-yard gain.
Queue the "oh my God, he did the Zach Wilson throw in an actual game," quotes to get spread like wildfire all over Twitter. In all seriousness though this is just a ridiculous throw. Rolling to his left with a defender barreling down on him, he's able to flip it down the field to Young perfectly in stride for what again would result in a 54-yard gain. There's really no reason this ball should have been as good as it was, but one thing you'll come to learn with Mestemaker is that no throw is off limits, as there is not a single throw on the field that he cannot make. That being said not much else would come from this drive, as the Cowboys would ultimately turn the ball over on downs as Mestemaker's pass to Young on fourth and goal from the two would fall incomplete (he would nearly have a touchdown pass to Justin Bowick, but he couldn't get his foot down in bounds). Things wouldn't get much better on their next drive, if anything things would get worse as Mestemaker would register his first (and only) interception of the game, help set Houston's offense up at the Oklahoma State 25-yard line.
Just an unfortunate throw here from Mestemaker, again helping set up the Cougar offense with excellent starting field position. With it being third and 10 Mestemaker knew that tossing the ball down the field gave them a better chance at helping them pick up a first down then taking a sack, though in hindsight I'm sure he would have rather taken the sack. Rolling to his right while being pursued by a defender (his legs would get hit), Mestemaker tried to fit the ball into Chris Barnes along the sideline. Unfortunately Barnes fell down on his route and the ball was too far inside, leading to the easy interception. To make matters worse Houston would find the end zone seven plays later, making the score 14-3 with 2:22 to go in the second quarter. Normally flashing the arm, Mestemaker would flash the athleticism on their opening drive of the second half, escaping a collapsing pocket before picking up 18-yards with his legs to help get them down to the Houston 13-yard line.
Though he doesn't use this side of his game often, Mestemaker can make defenses pay with his legs if given the opportunity. With the pocket starting to collapse Mestemaker steps up to his left before back juking and cutting up field to pick up a solid 18-yard gain, setting up a 13-yard touchdown run by Ayo Adeyi on the following play to make the score 14-10 with 10:57 to go in the second quarter. Mestemaker would come out firing on their next drive, connecting with Miles Coleman down the middle of the field for a 47-yard gain, taking them from their own 10 to the plus 43-yard line.
With the linebacker sucking in hard due to the action in the backfield, Mestemaker knows that he'll have a decent sized window to hit Coleman after pulling it from his running back. With acres of space to work with, Coleman would again take it all the way down to the Houston 43-yard line, picking up a whopping 47-yards in the processs. A few plays later Mestemaker would hit Wyatt Young in the end zone from two yards out, making the score 21-17 (still in favor of Houston) just over a minute into the fourth quarter. Mestemaker would come up big for the Cowboys on fourth down on their next drive, standing in a clean pocket and firing it to Justin Bowick for a 13-yard gain on fourth and seven. Unfortunately just two plays later Mestemaker would be strip sacked, with the defense jumping on it and taking over at the Houston 35-yard line. Thankfully nothing would come from the tunrover as the defense would force the Cougar offense to go three and out. With that Mestemaker would waste no time making up for the aforementioned fumble, hitting Caleb Hawkins quickly out of the backfield for what would result in a 66-yard score on the opening play of the drive, making it a 28-25 game (successful two point conversion, and still in favor of Houston) with 11:57 to go in the fourth. Mestemaker would flash the athleticism again on their following possession, pickig up 29-yards on the ground to take them down to the Houston 15-yard line. A couple plays later he would hit Justin Bowick in the end zone from eight yards out to make it a 35-32 game (still in favor of Houston) with 4:54 to go in the game.
With Bowick cooking his defender off the line, Mestemaker had a fairly easy throw to the back of the end zone for the score. With that the pass rush nearly got to him, but Mestemaker was able to get the ball out quickly and accurately to Bowick on a line for the score, getting them back to within three with less than five minutes to go in the fourth. Unfortunately that would be the last time the offense would touch the ball, as the Houston offense would see out the game and take home a 35-32 home victory. This game definitely lived up to expectations, with both offenses combing for a whopping 1,004-yards (505 for Houston, 499 for Oklahoma State), with Mestemaker and Weigman putting up very similar numbers as well in the process. On Mestemaker he had a couple unfortunate turnovers, with one leading directly to a Houston touchdown. Apart from that (and the fumble) he kept Oklahoma State in the game, making some insanely impressive throws that very few can replicate in college football. With that I do expect the Cowboys to bounce back this coming week, as they play host to the 2-4 Colorado Buffaloes, who are just a very strange team. I think Mestemaker and co. may prove too much for the Buffaloes in this one.

2. Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss (+1)
Wk 7 - 20/36 241 yds 3 touchdowns 0 interceptions/4 carries 14 yds 1 touchdown v no.13 Missouri (31-3 W)
Season - 142/210 1,676 yds 14 touchdowns 4 interceptions/36 carries 127 yds 6 touchdowns
One of the more intriguing teams of the young college football season, Trinidad Chambliss and the Ole Miss Rebels played host to a Missouri Tigers team that abosultely pounded the same Florida Gators team that pounded the Rebels just two weeks ago. As I alluded to last week, that game against Florida for Ole Miss was a loss waiting to happen, as it directly followed their emotional win against the LSU Tigers, but I don't think anyone in their right mind thought that we'd see them fall by the score 52-28. So this week, playing host to a team that beat those pesky Gators by the score 45-17, it made for a very interesting thought process. Like, are the Tigers that much better than the Rebels? Were those games just one offs for both teams? It left the door open for a lot of questions, questions that would grow even more when you looked at the quarterback match-up for this game. Across the field stood Austin Simmons, the dude who lost his job to Chambliss after sustaining an ankle injury in their week two win against Kentucky. Now I must say, it did feel as though Simmons was on barowed time as his play wasn't equal to his overall talent, as Chambliss took the job and ran with it following their week three home win against Arkansas. It's hard to say Ole Miss didn't make the right call, I mean with Chambliss under center they made it all the way to the College Football Playoff semifinals, falling to eventual runners up in Miami (FL), with Chambliss finishing top-10 in Heisman voting. This week was a chance to further confirm that they made the correct call, as Ole Miss would come away with an impressive 31-3 victory, making those aforementioned games against Florida that much weirder. In the win Chambliss would go 20/36 for 241-yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, while also registering 14-yards on the ground and a touchdown there to boot, marking his fourth straight game with a rushing touchdown. All that being said things didn't necessarily start off the smoothest for the Ole Miss offense, as they would be forced to punt the ball away after six plays on their opening drive, with Chambliss registering three incompletions. Things would start trending their way following a Missouri field goal as the offense would chip their way down the field before Chambliss would hit Caleb Odom in the end zone from 10-yards out to give them their first score of the game with 5:42 to go in the first quarter.
As the broadcast said, Odom is just an absolute match-up nightmare for opposing defenses. At 6'5" 240 lbs., Odom moves like a receiver, as he's able to shake his defender and get in behind for the easy touchdown. With Odom creating separation, Chambliss was able to place a really nice ball into his tight end for the 10-yard score, giving the Rebels their first lead of the game with 5:42 remaining in the opening quarter. Chambliss would come out firing on Ole Miss' next drive, hitting Caleb Cunningham down the middle of the field for a 19-yard gain on their first play of the drive.
One thing that has continued to improve in Chambliss' game is his accuracy when throwing down the middle of the field. With a defender breaking through on the right side, Chambliss had to speed up his process to get it out in time, firing it to Cunningham who made a very strong hands catch in the middle of the field for a 19-yard gain. Just a really strong play to open up the drive. Unfortunately things wouldn't go as smooth the rest of the way as they would be forced to punt the ball away after seven plays, getting called on back-to-back false start penalties to go from fourth and two to fourth and 12 from the 50-yard line. Chambliss would come away with another 19-yard completion on their next drive, connecting with Traylon Ray down the middle of the field before hitting Horatio Fields in the end zone from 21-yards out on third and 10 to give them a 14-3 lead with 10:13 remaining in the second quarter.
On the first one with the safety playing overtop, Chambliss knows that he has to place this ball more so on his receiver's back shoulder, keeping both him and the ball away from said defender. With that nice job by Ray at adjusting his body to bring the ball in, helping get them down to the Missouri 21-yard line. From there Chambliss would fire a perfectly placed ball to Fields in the end zone. On the play, Chambliss did an excellent job at keeping the safety honest in the middle of the field with his eyes, before glancing back to his left and putting the ball in a spot where only his receiver could get it, high and over the out stretched arm of the defender in coverage. Also, nice job by Fields at not only going up to get said pass, but also at holding onto the ball through the contact. Overall two really solid throws from Chambliss (and catches by the receivers), again helping the Rebels extend their lead with 10:13 to go in the second quarter. The touchdowns would keep coming for Ole Miss on their next drive, with Chambliss connecting on a few short to intermediate passes before hitting Caleb Cunningham in the end zone from 17-yards out to give them a 21-3 lead with 2:13 to go in the first half.
You really can't place a pass much better than this if you're Chambliss. With Missouri sending delayed pressure, and with the safety playing to the strong side of the field, Chambliss knows that he'll have his receiver in a favorable one-on-one match-up on the outside. With Cunningham beating his defender off the line, Chambliss floats a perfect ball in to a spot where only his receiver could make a play on it, towards the sideline and away from the defender. With that Cunningham does an excellent job at getting a foot down in bounds, seeing it in for the 17-yard score, giving the Rebels a 21-3 lead with about two minutes to go in the second quarter. Much like that last touchdown pass Chambliss would come up big on third down on their opening drive of the second half, hitting Traylon Ray down the far sideline for a 19-yard gain on third and seven.
From a clean pocket, Chambliss is able to rip this ball to Ray for the aforementioned 19-yard gain. With Missouri dropping into a zone, Chambliss knows that his receiver's route will eventually carry him to the outside corner. To combat this he places the ball more on Ray's body, keeping the ball away from the defender while allowing his receiver to get his head up and brace for the oncoming hit. Just a solid play overall, though unfortunately the drive would ultimately end on the following play as Kewan Lacy would be stripped of the ball, with the Tigers pouncing on it at the Rebel 44-yard line. Thankfully nothing would come from the turnover, as the defense would step up and force Missouri to turn the ball over on downs. That being said things wouldn't go so swimmingly for the Ole Miss offense as they would go three and out on their next possession before being forced to punt the ball away after six plays on their following drive. The run game would really carry them their next time out, with Chambliss only completing three passes along their nine play 79-yard drive that would ultimately be capped off with a five yard touchdown run by Chambliss to extend their lead to 28-3 less than three minutes into the fourth quarter. With that those three passes would help them work their way down the field, with one helping them pick up a much needed first down on second and 17 to get them down to the Missouri 24-yard line.
After drifting back into a second and 17 situation following a holding penalty on second and seven, Chambliss is able to find his big tight end in the middle of the field for an 18-yard gain. Like I've mentioned a couple times before, with the safety playing over top the best place to throw this ball is right on the intended receiver's body, as to avoid any play made by the oncoming defender. With pressure starting to break through, Chambliss makes the strong throw to Odom who gets upended after picking up the much needed first down. A few plays later Chambliss would find his way to the end zone from five yards out, giving them a 28-3 lead with 12:44 remaining in the fourth quarter. Even with the big lead Chambliss and co. would keep pushing the ball down the field, hitting Horatio Fields down the near sideline for a 23-yard gain, taking them to the Missouri 30-yard line.
Really solid back shoulder ball here from Chambliss with a defender jumping in his face. But with that I would say an even better job at adjusting to the ball by Fields, bringing it in while also having the wherewithal to get down before his momentum carried him out of bounds. Just a really solid play overall between Chambliss and Fields, eventually setting up a 38-yard field goal from Lucas Carneiro to make it a 31-3 game with 3:45 to go in the fourth quarter. It is wasn't already that field goal would be the final nail in the coffin, as the defense would pick off Austin Simmons on Missouri's final drive to come away with a 31-3 home victory. A really good overall performance from the Rebels, putting up damn near 500-yards of offense in the win. For Chambliss the accuracy did wain on him at times, but for the most part he made strong and accurate throws all across the field, helping them secure the victory. This week Chambliss and co. are on the road, traveling to Austin to take on the free falling Texas Longhorns, who are oddly enough coming off of a 27-24 loss to the aforementioned Florida Gators. Though they're coming in as road underdogs, if Chambliss and the offense are clicking and firing on all cylinders, I don't see why they can't leave with a dub.

Out of all the games played from the quarterbacks mentioned in this top-10, the match-up between Missouri and Ole Miss was the one I was the most excited for. At face value that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, at least for a person like me. I mean I have no connection to either team, I don't have a dog in the fight or anything, but seeing a top-15 match-up featuring two quarterbacks that used to share a locker room together makes for a pretty highly anticipated match-up in my eyes. I know I've spoken about it numerous times before, but current Missouri quarterback Austin Simmons was once the starter for the Ole Miss Rebels, that is until he suffered an ankle injury in their week two win against Kentucky which allowed Trinidad Chambliss to come in and make the starting job his own as he registered 353-yards passing against Arkansas the following week. It's hard to say moving forward with Chambliss as the starter was the wrong decision at the time, as he would ultimately help the Rebels reach the semifinal of the College Football Playoff, where they ultimately fell 31-27 to the eventual runners up in Miami (FL). That being said though it was clear Simmons had some talent, and it was only a matter of him choosing the right spot for him to probably showcase said talent. After finishing the season as Chambliss' back-up, Simmons would find himself replacing a Virginia bound Beau Pribula at Missouri, a move that would see him flourish, becoming one of the best quarterbacks in all of college football. So to have him (and wide receiver Cayden Lee) come back to Oxford to take on his old team was truly an enticing game. Unfortunately for Simmons and anyone else wearing black and gold things would not go their way, as they would fall by the score 31-3. In the loss Simmons would still put up some solid numbers, though not completing an insanely high number of his passes he would go 25/44 for 339-yards (one yard off of his season high) with no touchdowns and one interception. That being said things would seemingly start off pretty good for the Tigers, with Simmons connecting on passes of 17, 16, and 22-yards to help them work down the field and ultimately setting up a 27-yard field goal from Blake Craig to give them a 3-0 lead midway through the first.
Two very strong throws down the middle of the field by Simmons. On the first one we see Simmons using his eyes to manipulate the defense. Starting to the right to hold the defender to the outside, he then flips to the middle and fires a well placed ball into Olugbode for a 16-yard gain. The second one we see Simmons stand tall and calm in the pocket knowing damn well that he's going to take a shot from the oncoming Rebel defender. Despite this he delivers a strong pass down the middle of the field to Goodie in a tight-ish window on third and four for a 22-yard gain. If not for a shoe lace tackle Goodie could have found his way into the end zone, but as I stated before the Tigers would ultimately have to settle for a field goal, again giving them a 3-0 lead with 8:16 to go in the first quarter. Simmons would help Missouri convert on another third down on their next drive, hitting Donovan Olugbode along the far sideline for a 15-yard gain. They would be faced with another third down a few plays later, only this time Simmons' pass to Olugbode would fall incomplete, forcing them to punt the ball away after six plays. Simmons and Olugbode would connect on an eight yard pass to open things up on their next drive, but they would fail to pick-up a first down as an illegal shift penalty on third and one, pushing them back into a third and six position where they couldn't recover from, seeing them punt the ball away after going three and out. Things would look to go Missouri's way on their next possession as Simmons would connect with Cayden Lee for what would result in a 43-yard gain on third and 13, taking them from their own 39 to the Ole Miss 18-yard line.
Following a seven yard sack on second down, Simmons and Lee help the Tigers get deep into Rebel territory. On this play Lee does an excellent job at giving his quarterback a throwing window in a gap in the defense, which of course Simmons fires it through into his receiver who would cut up field and register a nice 43-yard gain for the offense. Notice above I said things would look as though they were going Missouri's way, unfortunately things wouldn't go their way as kicker Blake Craig would send his straight on 23-yard effort wide left, keeping the score at 14-3 in favor of Ole Miss with 5:44 remaining in the second quarter. Simmons would flash arm talent and ball placement on Missouri's next drive, hitting Donovan Olugbode along the near sideline for a 13-yard gain on second and six before firing one into Naeshaun Montgomery in the middle of the field in a tight window for an 11-yard gain on third and 10.
With a hand right in his face as he's letting the ball go, Simmons makes a very strong and accurate throw towards the near sideline to Olugbode for a 13-yard gain. As I've spoken about numerous times before, this is a much longer throw than just 13-yards, and yet Simmons makes it look easy to help pick up the first down. The same can be said for the second throw, as another defender is right in his face as he lets the ball go, and yet he's still able to fire it into Montgomery in a very tight window for an 11-yard gain on third and 10. With the defender draped all over his receiver's body, there was very little room for error on this throw from Simmons as it had to be placed perfectly in order for it them to extend the drive. As you can tell by the clip, it was, though it would be the final positive play of the drive as Simmons would register three straight incompletions (with one nearly being intercepted) that lead to the Tigers ultimately punting the ball away with just over a minute to go in the first half. Simmons would help the Tigers pick up a couple first downs on their opening drive of the second half, but once again they would be forced to punt the ball away, this time after eight plays. The offense would be set up with excellent field position on their next drive following an Ole Miss fumble. Despite starting from the plus-44 yard line, the Tigers would struggle to move the ball, ultimately turning it over on downs as Simmons' pass on fourth and six was deflected at the line of scrimmage, falling incomplete. Simmons would continue to fire the ball down the field early on their next drive, hitting Jude James down the hashmarks for a 22-yard gain on second and six.
Nice and easy throw down the hashes from Simmons to James, resulting in a 22-yard gain. Though James created a good amount of separation, with the safety coming in over top Simmons knows that he'll have to put the ball on a line and on his tight end's body, as to avoid any pass breakup or interception. Just a really solid throw from Simmons, just a shame though that once again the drive would stall out and they'd be forced to punt the ball away with 5:38 remaining in the third quarter. Simmons would complete a 12-yard pass to Donovan Olugbode while rolling to his left on the opening play of their next drive before ultimately having to punt the ball away again three plays later. The Tigers would be stuck in another third down situation on their next drive, and Simmons would come up big by connecting with Olugbode down the middle of the field for a 23-yard gain, taking them to the Rebel side of the 50.
With a sea of hands in front of him, Simmons does an excellent job at scanning the field before firing it into Olugbode for a 23-yard gain on third and five. Starting with his eyes to the right to suck the deep safety, freeing up a throwing lane to Olugbode who he would again hit for the 23-yard gain. Very nicely executed here by Simmons, helping the Tigers get to the Rebel 47-yard line. That being said (tell me if you've heard this before) not much more would come from the drive, with Missouri punting the ball away following a Simmons five yard sack on third and nine. Simmons would continue to push the ball down the field on their next drive despite being down 31-3 following an Ole Miss field goal, hitting on passes of 17, 16, and 34-yards to help get them down to the plus 10-yard line. Unfortunately the drive would end with a Simmons interception, getting picked off on fourth and goal from the four yard line.
I know the interception will be the thing that everyone focuses on (and I get it) but I don't want to the other throws Simmons made to help get them into that spot. The back shoulder-ish ball to Olugbode may not have been the most well placed ball, but he trusted his receiver enough to make a play which he did, and that's sometimes what you need to do as a quarterback. Fighting through contact, Olugbode was able to bring it in for the 17-yard gain. As for the throw down the far side of the field, you really can't throw a ball much better than that. There was very little room for error with the defender playing that tight in coverage, and yet Simmons was able to get it over top and put it in a spot where only his receiver could make a play on the ball (with a defender barreling down on him). Just a perfectly placed throw to again help them get down to the 10-yard line. Now for the interception, it wasn't great. Seemingly trying to fit it into Olugbode in the end zone, I think the pass would have been intercepted regardless of if the initial defender was there or not. Just not a great throw, but with it being on fourth down I wouldn't say it was the end of the world. For that look to the rest of the game, as Ole Miss beat down Simmons and co. by the score 31-3. Now I'm not saying I thought the Tigers would win, but I thought they'd be able to cover themselves better than they did in this one. For Simmons, I thought he put forth a very solid effort, making a few big time throws while helping the Tigers convert on numerous third downs throughout the game. Sure the interception wasn't great, but I would say he put forth a solid performance overall given the circumstances. Thankfully for Missouri they have a bye this week, giving them a chance to correct some issues before traveling to Fayetteville to take on the Arkansas Razorbacks. Coming off of their first SEC win in two years, I'm sure Arkansas will be motivated to upset Missouri in this one. Though I'm sure that's the case, I have a hard time seeing anything but an easy victory for Simmons and the Tigers.

4. CJ Carr, Notre Dame (+1)
Wk 7 - 27/49 261 yds 0 touchdowns 0 interceptions/6 carries 13 yds 0 touchdowns/1 catch -5 yds 0 touchdowns @ no.8 BYU (28-24 L)
Season - 129/163 1,639 yds 16 touchdowns 1 interception/23 carries 82 yds 3 touchdowns
A Holy War was upon us in Provo, Utah, as the then second ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish take on the then eighth ranked BYU Cougars. Catholics v Mormons, a tale as old as time, am I right? Well not really, I mean this was only the eighth technical meeting between the two schools (they've really played 10-times, but games in 2012 and 2013 were vacated) but that doesn't mean there wasn't any anamocity building the closer we got to game time. Looking back to last year, when Notre Dame got spurred from the College Football Playoff, they threw a massive hissy fit and refused to participate in their bowl game. Who would that have been against? Well BYU of course. Another little caveat that I recently found out is that Notre Dame has (for better or worse) mostly avoided playing in Provo, as they would rather preserve their "traditional rivalries." Like they literally opted out of a six game series with BYU after just two games in South Bend, despite being scheduled for two more there and two in Provo. That being said reports suggest that the Irish did reach out to the Cougars to get this game scheduled, probably something to do with that fact that their "traditional rival" in USC was not on the schedule this season. Regardless the reason, it gave us an insanely hyped match-up between two top-10 teams. With that though I do think that most people out there thought Notre Dame would be able to take care of business, especially since BYU hadn't beaten a top-10 team since week two in 2022 (beating ninth ranked Baylor 26-20 in double OT). Unfortunately it seems as though the Cougars had different plans, taking down the Irish in a surprising 28-24 victory, extending their impressive home winning streak to 11, while also ending Notre Dame's 16-game win streak against FBS opponents in the process. In the loss Irish quarterback CJ Carr didn't necessarily put forth his greatest performance (though he was still able to make big plays) as he went 27/49 (career high for attempts) for 261-yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions, while also picking up 13-yards on the ground (as well as -5-yards receiving, but more on that later). With that Carr would come out firing on their opening drive, hitting Jordan Faison in the flat for what would ultimately result in an 18-yard gain. Carr would hit on a couple more short to intermediate passes throughout the drive, helping set up a 46-yard field goal from Spencer Porath to make it a 7-3 game with 5:06 to go in the first quarter (Carr should have had a touchdown pass to Faison, but he missed him). Following a BYU punt Notre Dame would be set up deep in their own territory, but thanks to a couple big time plays from Carr (and Nolan James, who had a 26-yard run) they would be able to work their way down the field. On third and nine Carr would hit Micah Gilbert along the near sideline who'd make a fantastic one handed grab for 13-yards, before coming back a few plays later and hitting Faison along the opposite sideline for a further 12-yards, helping get them down to the Cougar 12-yard line.
Two really strong throws along each sideline from Carr, helping the Irish work their way down the field. On the first one Carr drops back in the pocket and let's it go with a defender jumping in his face. Despite that he was still able to place an insanely acccurate ball along the sideline to Gilbert, who brought it in with an excellent one handed catch through contact to pick up the first down on third and seven. You really can't throw a ball much better than this, puncuating it with a fantastic one handed catch. The second one Carr rolls to his right and lets it rip to Faison along the opposite sideline for a further 13-yard gain. With the BYU defender playing tight in coverage there wasn't a lot of room for Carr to work with, and yet he was able to squeeze it in with Faison able to bring it in through the contact to get them down to the plus 12-yard line. A few plays later Nolan James Jr. would take it into the end zone from eight yards out, giving them a 10-7 lead with 10:37 to go in the second quarter. Remember Carr's -5-yards receiving? Well that would happen on Notre Dame's next drive, as he would catch his own deflected pass five yards behind the line of scrimmage for a five yard loss. Fitting that drive would ultimately end with them going three and out, right? Shaking off his -5-yard reception, Carr would come out firing on the first play of their next drive, hitting Jaden Greathouse down the far sideline on a well thrown back shoulder ball for a 24-yard gain.
With the safety creeping up right before the snap, Carr knows that he'll have Greathouse in a one v one situation to the far side of the field. That being said with the defender matching Greathouse stride for stride, Carr smartly lofts this ball down the field on his receiver's back shoulder, who does an excellent job at adjusting his body to bring it in for the 24-yard gain. Really good throw and catch from both quarterback and receiver, helping get them to about the 50-yard line. The Irish would continue pushing the ball down the field, with a questionable defensive pass interference call taking them down to the plus 17-yard line. From there Carr would hit Micah Gilbert coming across the field for a 12-yard gain on third and 10. Hurrying to the line to spike the ball following the first down, Carr would never really have a firm grasp on the ball, meaning when he sent it to the ground it wouldn't go down as a spike, it would go down as a fumble, with the Cougars pouncing on it at the six yard line with six seconds to go in the first half. With the fumble absoultely killing their drive, Notre Dame would go into the locker room down 21-10, which would be the first time they'd be down at the half all season. Things wouldn't go much smoother on their opening drive of the second half as they would punt the ball away after four plays, despite Carr connecting with Jaden Greathouse for a 10-yard gain and a first down on their opening play. They would then go three and out on their next possession but BYU returner Cannon DeVries would muff the ensuing punt return with Notre Dame recovering at the plus 41-yard line. Carr would hit on a couple short to intermediate passes on this drive, with his six yard pass to Nolan James Jr. helping pick up a much needed first down on fourth and four. Ultimately the Irish would settle for a 31-yard field goal from Spencer Porath to make it a 21-13 game with 3:17 to go in the third. Notre Dame would be set up with excellent field position on their next drive following a failed fake punt attempt by BYU, setting the offense up at the plus 24-yard line. Despite the positive field position the Irish would fail to punch it across the goal line, being forced to settle for another Porath field goal (this one from 39-yards out) to make the score 21-16 with 11-second remaining in the third quarter. Carr would come up big on third down on their next possession, escaping the pocket to his right and finding a wide ass open Jaden Greathouse down the field for a 38-yard gain, taking them down to the BYU 24-yard line.
With pressure coming from the right side of the offensive line, Carr smartly starts rolling out to his right and is able to find his open receiver for a 38-yard gain. With that being said massive credit to Greathouse for giving his quarterback an option down the field, turning his route up field with the defender in coverage falling over to give Carr an easy throw to make to help the Irish pick up a much needed first down (and more) on third and four. A few plays later running back Janez Walton would take it into the end zone from three yards out to give them a 24-21 lead (following a successful two point conversion) with 9:31 remaining in the fourth quarter, their first since the 10:37 mark in the second quarter. The Notre Dame defense would come up big on BYU's next possession as they would pick off quarterback Bear Bachmeier's pass with 7:58 to go in the game. With that the offense would be unable to capitalize on the turnover, as they would be forced to punt the ball away after going three and out. That lack of capitalization from the Irish offense would cost them dearly, as the Cougars would march down the field in 10-plays and retake a 28-24 lead with less than two minutes to go in the game. Notre Dame would take over with 1:47 remaining with Carr making numerous big time plays to keep their drive alive, helping the offense convert on four third and/or fourth down situations, completing passes of seven (fourth and three), 24 (third and 10), 11 (third and three), and six (fourth and five).
These are just two of the third and/or fourth down conversions that I mentioned before, again showing off Carr's abilitty to step up when the situation demands it. On the first one I've hightlighed Carr does an excellent job at staying calm despite a having a defender jumping in his face as he's letting the ball go. This was a really long throw, and despite the pressure Carr was able to put the ball in a spot hwhere only his receiver could make a play on it, with Greathouse getting low to bring it in for the 24-yard gain. On the second one with pressure coming untouched through the middle, Carr does a nice job at escaping the pocket and rolling to his left before throwing an insanely accruate ball to Faison along the sideline for an 11-yard gain. This was just a fantastic play by Carr, keeping the play alive by rolling out to his left and throwing against his body to get the ball into his receiver before the defender could make a play on it. Just a fantastic play overall, helping the Irish continue their march down the field. Carr would connect with Micah Gilbert for a six yard gain with four seconds left on fourth and five a few plays later, setting up a potential game winning effort on the final play of the game. Unfortunately Carr's pass to Greathouse in the end zone would fall incomplete, giving the Cougars an impressive 28-24 win, snapping Notre Dame's 16-game winning streak in the process. Like I said before though statistically Carr didn't put forth his best showing, he still came up big when his offense needed him to, making some big time throws to help get them into scoring positions. Shame his last pass fell incomplete, but I would say that he played better than what the stats may show. This week Carr and co. are on a bye, but will be back on the road on Halloween to take on the Navy Midshipmen in Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.

5. Darian Mensah, Miami (FL) (+1)
Wk 7 - 23/34 326 yds 3 touchdowns 1 interception/3 carries 6 yds 0 touchdowns v Florida State (43-35 2OTW)

One of the most historic and hate filled rivalries in all of college football, it seems as the game between Miami (FL) and Florida State has really lost it's luster in recent years. Back in the day this game was a potential National Championship decider, as both teams would constantly be ranked in and around the top five, or at the very least top-15. I mean from 1984 until 2004, the pair participated in 19-ranked match-ups, with 10 of those match-ups seeing both teams ranked inside the top-10, pretty ridiculous stuff if you ask me. That being said from 2005 all the way up to last season the pair only met in only six ranked match-ups (one top-10 match-up, 2013), with the most recent one prior to last season coming in 2016. Now that's not to say at least one of these teams wasn't good when they played during that stretch, but it felt as though you could make a pretty easy bet one who was going to win the game prior to then you could have in the 20th century. This year's match-up was no different, as the Seminoles were coming into this game with a 3-3 record and were fresh off of a 44-20 loss to a then sub .500 Louisville Cardinals team. That being said though, I do think that a good amount of people out there weren't completely sold on the Hurricanes coming into this game, as they have had a pretty simple run of games to start the season. For those who weren't convinced going in, I don't think this game filled them with much confidence as it took two overtimes to take down the struggling Seminoles, coming away with a somewhat controversial 43-35 home victory. In the win Miami quarterback Darian Mensah put forth a solid performance, going 23/34 for 326-yards with three touchdowns (fifth game with three+ touchdowns), though he did unfortunately register his first interception of the season. With that Mensah would come up big for Miami on their opening drive of the game, connecting on passes of 20 and 30-yards, helping set up a seven yard touchdown run by Mark Fletcher Jr. to give them a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter.
Two really solid throws from Mensah to help the Hurricanes get down the field in a hurry. On the first one Mensah does a very nice job at floating the ball over the out stretched arm of the Seminole defender and right into Elija Lofton on a well placed ball for a 20-yard gain on the opening play of the drive. The second one is both impressive and insanely risky. With two defenders barreling down on him in the pocket, Mensah tosses the ball down the field off of his back foot towards a soon to be triple covered Malachi Toney. Now I would never recommend throwing into triple coverage, but given the circumstances this was a really well placed ball from Mensah, with Toney leaping up to grab it for the aforementioned 30-yard gain. Sometimes you just have to let your playmakers make plays, and that's exactly what happened there. Like I mentioned before a few plays later running back Mark Fletcher Jr. would take it into the end zone from seven yards out to give Miami a 7-0 lead with 7:32 to go in the first quarter. Things wouldn't got as smoothly for the Hurricane offense on their next couple drives, as they would go three and out on both while racking up just six total yards in the process. Mensah would come out firing following the pair of three and outs, making something out of nothing in the backfield before finding Daylyn Upshaw down the field for a 44-yard gain, ultimately setting up a 14-yard touchdown pass from Mensah to Malachi Toney to make it a 14-7 game midway through the second quarter.
I'm going to be honest, I don't know how Mensah was able to escape the pocket on that first play. Completely dead to rights in the backfield, Mensah was able to spin away from two Florida State pass rushers before rolling out to his right and finding an open Upshaw down the field for what would result in a 44-yard gain. Before someone says it I know the pass was under thrown, but sometimes as a quarterback when a receiver is that open, your main job is just to not miss him, which of course he didn't for the big time gain. As for the touchdown, that was just a nice and easy pass between quarterback and receiver. With the linebackers and safeties sucking down due to the action in the backfield, Mensah is able to hit Toney through the arm of the defender in coverage for the score. Though it was a shorter pass, one thing you can't beat as a defender is a perfect throw, and Mensah placed this ball in the perfect spot for Toney to see it in to give them a 14-7 lead with 8:19 to go in the second quarter. Miami wouldn't move the ball as well on their final two drives of the half, as they would go three and out before being forced to punt the ball away after five plays (despite Mensah connecting on passes of 15 and 14-yards) with 25-seconds remaining in until halftime. Things wouldn't get much better for them to kick off the second half as Mensah would register his first (and only) interception of the game, coming less than five minutes into the third quarter.
This is just a really poor decision from Mensah. Sure he was on a heater up to that point, but like the broadcaster said no need for a heat check right there. Everything would have needed to be perfect for this pass to be completed, but it wasn't. With his momentum carrying him back to the left after stepping up in the pocket, he tried to throw back towards the right which ultimately be late and too far inside, leading to the easy interception in the end zone with 10:47 to go in the third (the dude had a club on his hand). Miami would turn the ball over on downs on their next possession, failing to convert on fourth and two from the Florida State 42-yard line. Mensah would try to get things going again their next time out, hitting Vandrevius Jacobs down the far sideline for a 19-yard gain on second and six.
With pressure coming around from the backside, Mensah starts moving to his right, buying just enough time to get the ball out to Jacobs on a well thrown ball for a 19-yard gain. About to be sandwiched by two defenders Mensah was still able to get the ball over the Seminole defender in coverage and to Jacobs who sees it in through the contact, helping get them down to the Florida State 27-yard line. Much like their last drive though this one would also end with them turning it over on downs, as they would fail to convert on fourth and one from the plus 18-yard line. Mensah would really get things going for the Hurricane offense their next time out, hitting an open Malachi Toney down the far sideline for a 35-yard gain on the opening play of the drive.
Seemingly setting up the bubble screen, Toney went from looking to block to becoming wide ass open down the field, with Mensah throwing the ball on a line to hit him in stride for the aforementioned 35-yard gain. Really well designed play from Miami, as the two Florida State defenders in coverage completely bought Toney's fake block, allowing him to free up in behind and help get them down to the plus 37-yard line. Three plays later Javian Mallory would take it into the end zone from three yards out to tie the game up at 21 with 9:33 to go in the fourth quarter (which was set up by a 30-yard run by Toney). Following a Seminole fumble the Hurricanes would be set up with an opportunity to take their first lead of the game since the midway point of the second quarter. That being said things would look a little sketchy to start out, as they would find themselves in a third and 10 situation. Not to fear though, as Mensah would escape the pocket to his left and fire it into Daylyn Upshaw along the far sideline for a 15-yard gain, helping pick up a much needed first down.
With pressure coming around the edge in a hurry, Mensah smartly rolls to his left. While keeping his eyes down the field he's able to find a tightly covered Upshaw, but is still able to fit it in through the crowd to his receiver for a 15-yard gain on third and 10. This was a really well placed ball from Mensah, helping keep their drive alive with 6:51 to go in the fourth quarter. A few plays later they would find the end zone, with Mensah rolling to his right and connecting with Elija Lofton from three yards out (on third and goal) to give them a 28-21 lead with 2:49 to go in regulation. Mensah would come out firing on their next drive following a Florida State touchdown (one play 75-yard drive), hitting Malachi Toney in the flat for what would ultimately result in a 24-yard gain. The thing is nothing else would come from that play, as they would be forced to punt the ball away just four plays later with 35-second to go, with the Seminoles opting to run out the clock and take the game into overtime. Both teams would come away with early touchdowns to start overtime, making it a 35-35 game. Getting the ball first to start the second overtime period, Mensah would hit Daylyn Upshaw in the flat for what would go for 20-yards before hitting Malachi Toney on a well thrown fade ball from three yards out to give them a 43-35 lead (successful two point conversion), putting all the pressure back on Florida State.
Sure this was only a three yard pass but this was still an insanely well placed ball from Mensah, hitting Toney perfectly on his back shoulder in a spot where only he could get it with the defender in tight coverage. After winning on a slant route earlier (highlighted above) Toney faked to the inside before cutting back to the outside, giving Mensah enough room to work with for the score. Just a great play all around from both quarterback and wide reciver, helping the Hurricanes take a 43-35 lead (again, successful two point conversion) after their second overtime possession. To make things better the defense would come away with an interception, sealing the aforementioned 43-35 victory for Miami. It may not have been as convincing as they may have liked, but any time you can beat a rival you take it. As for Mensah he put forth a solid showing, especially in the later stages of the game as they were fighting their way back from a 21-14 deficit. The interception may have been bad, but his overall performance deserves some plaudits, especially now since Miami sits atop the college football world, ranked as the best team in the nation by the AP voters. This week the top ranked Hurricanes play host tothe Pitt Panthers, a team with a backup quarterback who are coming off of their second straight loss to a near or sub .500 team (North Carolina was 2-2 going in). Though I think Pitt are a well coached football team, I think Mensah and co. will just be too much for them, coming in as whopping -20.5-point favorites.

Depending on who you asked, a couple weeks ago Texas was one of the favorites for the National Championship. After finally showing up against some high level competition and beating the likes of Ohio State and Tennessee, people looked at Texas as a team that played very strong defense and had an offense that could make you pay if you didn't put them away. That is until a pretty surprising 27-24 loss to the rival Oklahoma Sooners in the Cotton Bowl, an Oklahoma team that registered 14-points against New Mexico. Hell, New Mexico State, a team that currently has two wins all season, scored more points on the Lobos than the SEC powerhouse (in name) known as Oklahoma (scored 18). I know there were some out there that said the Sooners could possibly pull off the upset, but I really didn't see it, especially when a better Oklahoma team lost to a worse Texas team by double digits (23-6) the previous season. I'm not saying that I thought the Longhorns would blow them out of the water or anything, but at the same time I sure as hell wasn't expecting a loss. This week Texas played host to a reeling Florida Gators team who were coming off of back-to-back double digit losses to the likes of Missouri and South Carolina. This looked like a perfect opportunity for the Longhorns to show that they were still one of the top teams in the nation. A team in free fall with a back-up quarterback under center? Yeah, Texas should not have had any real issues in this one. If only that were the case, right? With all that the Longhorns dropped another one, losing by the score 27-24 for the second week in a row. In the loss was another subpar performance from quarterback Arch Manning, who would go 14/20 for only 173-yards with one touchdown and no interceptions, all while registering zero yards on the ground while getting sacked a season high five times. That being said things seemed to be going Texas' way early on, as they would register a touchdown on their opening drive before coming away with a field goal their next time out to take a 10-0 lead with 6:42 remaining in the first quarter. Things would slow down a little bit for them on their next couple of drives, as they would punt the ball away after five and three plays as we entered the second quarter. That being said they would still come away with points despite their offense not being on the field, thanks to a 63-yard punt return touchdown by Ryan Niblett to give them a 17-3 lead with 11:27 to go in the second. Manning would be nearly intercepted on their next possession he'd try to hit Ryan Wingo down the field (who was double covered). Thankfully the defender wouldn't be able to control the ball through the ground, giving Manning and co. a chance to convert on third and 16. Manning would then hit Jermaine Bishop Jr. on a screen to the flat that would go for 15-yards, leading them to go for it on fourth and one from the 50-yard line. Unfortunately Hollywood Smother would be stuffed at the line of scrimmage, as Texas would turn the ball over on downs with 2:44 left in the first half. Texas would fail to get anything going early on in the second half as they would go three and out on their opening two drives before turning it over on downs yet again after five plays after failing to convert on fourth and two from their own 48-yard line. Despite the struggles Manning would come up massive for the Longhorns on their next drive, making a ridiculous throw to Emmett Mosley V for a 62-yard gain before hitting Cam Coleman in the end zone from nine yards out to make the score 27-24 (Florida) with 4:21 to go in the game.
These are the type of plays that keep my faith in Manning alive. Despite not providing much of anything for Texas' offense throughout the course of the game, he's still able to make plays that not very many other quarterbacks out there can make. That 62-yard pass to Mosley was just utterly ridiculous. Like you can be the most Manning hater out there, but you have to give him props on that throw. Completely dead to rights in the backfield on fourth and six, he does an excellent job at sliding to his left to buy time before launching it down the field from an unbalanced base while getting hit in the face, hitting Mosley perfectly in stride for again what would result in a 62-yard gain. There's really no reason this pass should have been completed, and yet it helped set up a nine yard touchdown pass from Manning to Coleman to get them back to within three with just under four and a half minutes to go in the game. It seemed as though Texas would be primed for the comeback following a three and out by Florida, only for that hope to get stripped away from them as Manning would be strip sacked in the pocket with the Gators ultimately falling on it to seal away a 27-24 upset victory. Another week, another 27-24 loss for the Texas Longhorns. For Manning, this was probably his most disappointing performance of the season. Sure he didn't register any interceptions, but he failed to get anything going on offense while coughing up the ball with 1:58 to go in the game to ultimately gift the Gators the win. With reports coming out suggesting that head coach Steve Sarkisian will be giving more first team reps to back-up quarterback Karle Lacey Jr., Manning will have to step it up big time or risk going from a potential number one overall pick to benched before the month of November. For their sake I wish I could say things would be getting easier, but this week they play host to the seventh ranked Ole Miss Rebels, who also have a disappointing loss to Florida under their belt. Let's hope that Manning rises to the occasion as Texas looks to end their two game slide. To me overall there's a lot to like about Manning as a prospect (purely a prospect) but there is clearly a whole lot for him to still work on.
