Each week, SDS will break down SEC quarterback play by team using our own power index system, a numeral rating developed using all passer-related statistics and efficiency totals. Quarterbacks will be graded based on the previous game’s performance only from QBR, to completion percentage to third-down conversions and placed in order from average to elite.

10. Anthony Jennings, LSU, 58.5 — (8-26, 76 yards, TD/INT; 40 yards rushing) — Against the SEC’s best defense, Jennings was below average and rarely gave the Tigers a chance from the pocket. He threw four consecutive incompletions in overtime on LSU’s fatal lone possession and admitted he should’ve tried get a first down with his legs on the game’s final play.

9. Johnny McCrary, Vanderbilt, 60.3 (14-35, 160 yards, TD/2 INT) — McCrary looked like a redshirt freshman against Florida, throwing two interceptions and completing just 14-of-35 passes. It was a step back from his five touchdown outing against Old Dominion, but was somewhat expected. Star corner Vernon Hargreaves baited McCrary into one pick near the sideline and the other turnover came in the end zone on a one-handed grab by Jalen Tabor.

8. Patrick Towles, Kentucky, 75.5 (16-31, 139 yards, TD/INT; 60 yards rushing, TD) — Perhaps Towles’ 390-yard outing against Mississippi State two weeks ago was the worst thing that could’ve happened to the sophomore who is still developing as quarterback. A false sense of arrival has been too much to handle, reflected by consecutive below-average efforts. Forced out of his comfort zone after Georgia’s early onslaught of touchdowns, Towles never found a rhythm during a 32-point loss.

7. Blake Sims, Alabama, 80.5 (20-45, 209 yards, 2 TD) — His quarterback rating (49.0) was low thanks to a season-high 25 incompletions, but Sims made plays when it mattered for the Crimson Tide including a well-executed touchdown pass to DeAndrew White in overtime. At times, Alabama got away from what it does best and too often tried beating the SEC’s top-ranked secondary deep.

6. Bo Wallace, Ole Miss, 87.5 (11-15, 140 yards, 2 TD/INT; TD rush) — Thanks to a season-high 402 yards rushing, Ole Miss didn’t need Wallace’s prowess through the air against an FCS opponent. He was responsible for three touchdowns in one half of work. Wallace’s worst throw of the afternoon (not his lone interception) hit a Presbyterian defensive back between the numbers, but was dropped.

5. Nick Marshall, Auburn, 88.4 (15-21, 219 yards TD; 67 yards rushing, 2 TD) — Hidden in an otherwise impressive state line was Marshall’s two lost fumbles in a decisive fourth quarter that likely took the Tigers out of College Football Playoff contention. He posted a high completion percentage for the second straight game despite losing his second-best receiver Duke Williams to injury in the first half.

4. Treon Harris, Florida, 90.5 (13-21, 215 yards; 49 yards rushing, 2 TD) — The new director of Florida’s zone-read attack, Harris won his second straight game as a starter with a wide variety of throws within Kurt Roper’s offense. He scored on two keepers and had a would-be touchdown pass dropped by Clay Burton late.

3. Dak Prescott, Mississippi St., 93.0 (14-23, 206 yards, 2 TD; 54 yards, TD) — The SEC’s leading Heisman contender was turnover-free for the first time in a month and managed 9 yards per carry on the ground due in large part to a 48-yard touchdown scamper. Prescott’s 23 attempts was the second-fewest this season.

2. Kyle Allen, Texas A&M, 94.9 (19-29, 277 yards, 4 TD/INT) — Sophomore Kenny Hill’s now an afterthought in College Station after this freshman’s performance at Auburn. His well-placed 7-yard slant to Josh Reynolds in the second quarter was his fourth touchdown pass of the first half that helped the Aggies build a commanding lead. Allen’s only pick was on an underthrown ball down the sideline, but it didn’t lead to points.

1. Hutson Mason, Georgia, 98.9 (13-16, 174 yards, 4 TD) — During the Bulldogs’ offensive explosion at Kentucky, Mason tossed more touchdown passes (4) than incompletions (3) and helped Georgia score its most points in an SEC game since 1942. The fifth-year senior was stellar in the red zone and on play-action situations.
