Week 13 Total QB Rating

By virtue of his high-scoring game Friday night, Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray surplanted Bama’s Tua Tagovailoa as the country’s highest rated QB in the final regular season total QB rating. UGA sophomore Jake Fromm worked all the way up to third place.    

 

The TQBR takes into account the level of competition, which could be the reason why South Carolina’s Jake Bentley has risen to 23rd in the nation (above), after lighting up the passing lanes in Clemson on Saturday night. 

 

I heard an interesting discussion between 680’s Chuck Oliver and Chris Landry regarding the future of deposed Clemson QB Kelly Bryant. The former Tiger has narrowed his choices to a few schools, including Auburn, Arkansas, UNC. Miami is no longer in the mix. Earlier the pair had discussed whether Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham would return to the plains or go pro – or seek a graduate transfer. Since transferring in to Auburn from Texas A&M Stidham had not developed as a QB but instead regressed.

 

While Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn is known for getting great production from Kelly Bryant-type QB’s like Cam Newton, would Bryant want to choose a school that can’t develop QB’s? Plus he’d have to face Bama again, who already knows how to stop Bryant. UNC was unable to win with their Bryant-like QB Chazz Surratt (though new head coach mack brown won a national championship with the dual threat QB Vince Young at QB. Arkansas doesn’t seem like a team who’d be able to win even with Bryant under center. Could be a long year for Bryant wherever he goes.
