The SEC has three of the top six quarterbacks in the country, as ranked by ESPN’s Total Quarterback Ranking.
Several teams were off on Saturday, but Florida’s Kyle Trask carried the day with a 30-for-43 passing performance for 474 yards with four touchdowns and an interception. Trask’s four-touchdown game helped him become the first quarterback in SEC history to accomplish the feat in five consecutive games.
Georgia’s Stetson Bennett left the game briefly in the first quarter with a shoulder injury and was later replaced by D’Wan Mathis. He completed 5 of 16 passes for 78 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. Both quaterbacks were without their top targets, Kyle Pitts and George Pickens for either part of the game, or the entire game.
The Aggies’ Kellen Mond threw four touchdown passes to become the school’s career leader as they routed South Carolina 48-3 on Saturday night. Mond set the school record with the 68th touchdown pass of his career, a 52-yarder to Devon Achane in the third quarter.
The QBR values the quarterback on all play types on a 0-100 scale adjusted for the strength of opposing defenses faced.
Here’s the ranking of all the SEC QBs:
2. Mac Jones, Alabama
4. Kyle Trask, Florida
6. Matt Corral, Ole Miss
23. Stetson Bennett, Georgia
25. Connor Bazelak, Missouri
27. Kellen Mond, Texas A&M
