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.

11. Jeff Driskel, Florida, 50.0 (7-19, 50 yards, 2 INT) — It got to a point in the second half when, as a viewer, you began to feel sorry for Florida’s junior quarterback, a player lacking confidence with four turnovers. One of his interceptions was returned for a touchdown and a lost fumble caused by Shane Ray was scooped up for six by Markus Golden. Combined with second-teamer Treon Harris, Florida quarterbacks turned it over six times. The nightmare outing summed up the last two season’s for Will Muschamp and his putrid Gators offense.

10. Maty Mauk, Mizzou, 50.0 (6-18, 20 yards, INT) — Is there anything left in the tank for Mauk? He’s been downgraded to below-average as an SEC starting quarterback after a third consecutive horrific performance. Simple throws have become worrisome and his inability to generate first downs has likely taken the defending division champs out of the East picture. An upcoming game against Kentucky in two weeks probably determines the East’s runner-up to Georgia.

9. Justin Worley, Tennessee, 55.3 (19-34, 191 yards, 3 INT) — Sacked nine times, you can’t blame a couple head-scratching decisions made by this senior quarterback who rarely had more than three seconds to make a play Saturday night in Oxford.

8. Kenny Hill, Texas A&M, 58.5 (17-26, 138 yards, INT) — The sophomore’s worst outing of the season (QBR 12.2) was his first game without a touchdown pass as the Aggies mustered just eight first downs at Alabama. Hill averaged just 5.3 yards per attempt.

7. Patrick Towles, Kentucky, 63.5 (19-36, 146 yards) — Kentucky’s offense was inefficient in Baton Rouge, due in large part to Towles’ accuracy issues. Without a running game, the Wildcats faced too many 3rd-and-long situations and weren’t equipped to handle LSU’s pressure up front and off the edge.

6. Anthony Jennings, LSU, 73.9 (7-14, 120 yards, TD; 40 yards rushing) — Another pedestrian performance through the air for Jennings led to a victory, a successful formula for the Tigers this season. Rarely was Jennings asked to make throws beyond the sticks since LSU’s running game was responsible for 300 yards and three scores. Backup Brandon Harris’ only throw was picked off.

5. Brandon Allen, Arkansas, 75.9 (28-45, 296 yards 3 TD/2 INT) — Allen’s been forced to throw more often than he likes over the last two games since the Razorbacks’ rushing attack’s been kept in check. On Saturday, he produced three touchdowns and nearly 300 yards, but much of that came in the second half when Arkansas trailed by multiple scores. He turned it over three times, including a fumble in the second quarter that was returned 54 yards for a touchdown.

4. Bo Wallace, Ole Miss, 79.5 (13/28, 199 yards, 2 TD) — No turnovers is the silver lining, but Bo Wallace and the Ole Miss offense as a whole struggled for a half against Tennessee, punting on eight consecutive drives to start the game. A few nice throws to Vince Sanders saved an otherwise forgettable game under center.

3. Hutson Mason, Georgia, 90.0 (10-17, 179 yards, 2 TD) — He only completed 10 passes at Arkansas, but Mason produced a solid effort averaging 17.9 yards per completion including a 36-yard touchdown to Chris Conley. Mason’s 1-yard keeper midway through the first quarter gave the Bulldogs a lead they would never relinquish.

2. Dylan Thompson, South Carolina, 91.5 (14-22, 262 yards, 2 TD) — Thompson’s lightest workload in seven starts resulted in one of his better outings, a satisfying 262-yard, multi-touchdown stat line. Thompson made good decisions with the football and both touchdown throws — a red zone corner route to Shaq Roland and a 45-yard scramble to Jerell Adams — were well executed. Maybe this can instill confidence in a senior who dropped back a bit after his last two games coming in.

1. Blake Sims, Alabama, 95.5 (16-27, 268 yards, 3 TD; 43-yard touchdown rush) — Another solid performance out of Sims helped the Tide erupt for a school-record 35 points during the second quarter of a 59-0 win over Texas A&M. Sims’ 43-yard touchdown run was his most athletic play of the season and showcased his prowess on the move. He hooked up with Amari Cooper for two touchdowns for the first time in three games.
