Week 3 for college football’s national title contenders was all about the quarterbacks, as several signal-callers shined. Jalen Milroe of Alabama, Cam Ward of Miami and Arch Manning of Texas totaled five touchdowns apiece.
Elsewhere, Riley Leonard’s legs came alive for Notre Dame with 100 yards and three scores on the ground. Jaxson Dart totaled over 400 total yards for Ole Miss, and Nico Iamaleava was surgically efficient in an awe-inspiring display by Tennessee’s offense. Don’t forget about Oregon’s Dillon Gabriel, who completed his first 15 passes.
Each of those individual performances coincided with dominant team victories. Things weren’t so easy for everyone, however. LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and Georgia’s Carson Beck each endured some struggles but made just enough plays to help their teams survive upset bids on the road against SEC foes.
As we put Week 3 to rest, here are grades for each team that is entering Week 4 with national title odds of +4000 or better.
