The standout player of the week for college football in Week 10 has been Jaxson Dart of Mississippi. In a spectacular performance, Dart recorded a school-record 515 passing yards and added 47 rushing yards, leading the Rebels to a commanding 63-31 victory over Arkansas. His total of 562 yards surpassed the previous record held by legendary player Archie Manning, who had 540 yards against Alabama in 1969. Dart also played a pivotal role in throwing six out of the Rebels’ record-tying seven touchdown passes during the game.

Dart has now joined the ranks of Missouri’s Drew Lock, who accomplished a similar feat in 2017, making Dart one of only two Southeastern Conference quarterbacks to achieve at least 500 passing yards and six touchdown passes in a single game. Notably, Dart accomplished this milestone while playing without his top receiver, Tre Harris, who was sidelined due to injury. However, Jordan Watkins stepped up impressively, breaking school records by gaining 254 receiving yards and scoring five touchdowns on just eight receptions.

In the runner-up position for the week, Cam Ward had an impressive outing, throwing for 400 yards and five touchdowns, leading his team to a 53-31 triumph over Duke. Ward showcased his skill by rallying the unbeaten Hurricanes from another double-digit deficit in the second half. He now has a total of 29 touchdown passes this season, tying with Steve Walsh for the single-season school record. Three of Ward’s touchdown passes connected with Xavier Restrepo, who caught eight passes for 146 yards, surpassing Santana Moss to become the all-time leader in Miami career receiving yards with 2,573.

Other honorable mentions this week include Isaac Brown, who rushed 20 times for 151 yards and clinched the game for Louisville with a 45-yard touchdown in their 33-21 triumph over Clemson. South Carolina’s freshman quarterback, LaNorris Sellers, contributed to a 44-20 win against Texas A&M by throwing for 244 yards and rushing for another 106, including two touchdown passes and one rushing touchdown. In another notable performance, North Carolina’s Omarion Hampton amassed a career-best 265 all-purpose yards, scoring five touchdowns against Florida State, a feat not seen by a North Carolina player since 1981. UAB’s Kam Shanks also made a mark, amassing a record 311 all-purpose yards in a 59-21 win over Tulsa, highlighted by three touchdown receptions and a 58-yard punt return for another score.

Here are six additional noteworthy statistics from the week: Boise State’s Ashton Jeanty is averaging 190.6 rushing yards per game, aiming to beat LaDainian Tomlinson’s 196.2 for TCU set in 2000, which would mark the highest average in over two decades. In the Big 12, 22 out of 44 conference games played this season have been decided by a single score, the highest among FBS leagues. Florida boasts the longest active scoring streak in the country, having scored in 456 consecutive games since 1988. Remarkably, Army remains the only team this season that has not trailed in any game, maintaining a lead for 12 games since October 28, 2023, second only to Alabama’s 14-game streak from 2020-21. Georgia’s Carson Beck has gained notoriety as the only FBS quarterback to throw three interceptions in three games this season, recently experiencing back-to-back games with three picks. Lastly, Nebraska has not been able to secure a win in seven attempts since last season in games where a victory would have guaranteed bowl eligibility.
