Greg McElroy says Mississippi State’s Nathaniel Watson and Missouri’s Cody Shrader were among the “war daddies” of Rivalry Week.

To say that Watson and Shrader balled out would be an understatement. Watson recorded 21 total tackles against Ole Miss and Shrader had 217 yards rushing and 1 touchdown in the regular-season finale with Arkansas. Watson and the Bulldogs didn’t win the Egg Bowl, but his numbers are still impressive, nonetheless. Watson also recorded 0.5 tackles for loss from the game.

Former Auburn quarterback Bo Nix continued his hot streak with Oregon. He had 367 yards passing with 3 total touchdowns against Oregon State. Here’s the full list from McElroy:

  • Tetairoa McMillen, WR, Arizona
  • Bo Nix, QB, Oregon
  • Nathaniel Watson, LB, Mississippi State
  • Cody Shrader, RB, Missouri
  • Abu Sama III, RB, Iowa State
  • Jared Verse, DL, Florida State
