Week 3 Total QB Rating

As expected, Vandy’s Kyle Shurmur slid out of the top spot, leaving the two Oklahoma boys on the top of the week three ESPN Total QB Rating. Mason Rudolph lit up the scoreboard against the poor Pitt Panthers. Perhaps beating Pitt is the reason why Trace McSorley is the highest rated QB in Penn State history, much higher than the mighty Christian Hackenberg. 

 

Saturday night Clemson’s Kelly Bryant out-quarterbacked last year’s Heisman winner Lamar Jackson, making Bryant the highest rated QB in the ACC. Late in the fourth quarter Jackson was able to pad his stats against the Tigers third-string defense.

 

UCLA’s Josh Rosen had a big day, but saw his Heisman hopes Heartbreak Hoteled in his loss to Memphis.

 

Bama sophomore QB Jalen Hurts has posted his highest rating ever. If he is playing well, the Crimson Tide will have no problem rolling to another SEC Championship. Mississippi State’s Nick Fitzgerald is also playing great football, beating LSU in Baton Rouge. A Georgia native who ran the option in high school, Nicky Fitz probably passed on a Tech scholarship offer to throw the ball in the SEC. Just think what he could’ve done at Georgia Tech.
