For the first time this season, most of the league played conference games on Saturday. The result? Chaos. The SEC Quarterback Power Rankings have been turned upside down.
Two quarterbacks saw their stock plummet after rough weekends. DJ Lagway had a nightmare outing against LSU, tossing five interceptions and looking completely out of rhythm. Meanwhile, the buzz around LaNorris Sellers is starting to fizzle. The South Carolina sophomore lasted just one half against Vanderbilt before leaving with a head injury, and his performance before then didn’t inspire confidence. He threw for only 94 passing yards, one interception, and negative rushing yards (-3) despite being known as a dual-threat. Vanderbilt completely shut him down.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Arkansas' Taylen Green and Texas A&M's Marcel Reed—both also known for their dual-threat capabilities—put on a show Saturday. While the Razorbacks couldn't quite finish off Ole Miss, the former Boise State transfer put up 305 passing yards, a passing touchdown, 115 yards on the ground, and a rushing touchdown.
Marcel Reed wasn't as dynamic on the ground, recording only 37 yards, but led the Aggies to an incredible win over Notre Dame. He put up 360 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the Irish.
The only quarterbacks who didn’t budge are Mississippi State’s Blake Shapen and Kentucky’s Zach Calzada. Shapen looks poised to climb if he keeps playing at this level, while Calzada remains stuck at the bottom after Kentucky’s bye week.
