No. 1 GEORGIA 34, No. 14 CLEMSON 3
Georgia DB Malaki Starks
Starks lined up in the box and as a deep safety, but it was in the slot where he spent most of his snaps in Georgia’s big win over Clemson on Saturday afternoon. He earned an 80.3 PFF coverage grade, allowing one reception for 12 yards and coming away with an incredible interception.
No. 2 OHIO STATE 52, AKRON 6
Ohio State DI Tyleik Williams
Williams recorded a sack and a hurry from 24 pass-rushing snaps, but run defense was where he really made his mark in Ohio State’s season-opening win. He registered three tackles resulting in a defensive stop and earned a 90.6 PFF run-defense grade across just 16 run snaps.
No. 4 TEXAS 52, COLORADO STATE 0
Texas CB Jahdae Barron
Barron was on the field for 27 snaps and was the Longhorns’ highest-graded defensive player in the win over Colorado State. He was targeted just once in coverage and had an interception, ending the game with an 89.6 PFF coverage grade.
No. 3 OREGON 24, IDAHO 14
Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel
Gabriel’s first start at quarterback for the Ducks was impressive from a box-score perspective. He went 41-for-50 for 380 yards with a pair of touchdowns and two big-time throws. Helped by avoiding any turnover-worthy plays in the game, he finished with an 89.4 PFF passing grade.
No. 21 ARIZONA 61, NEW MEXICO 39
Arizona WR Tetairoa McMillan
McMillan played only 29 receiving snaps in Arizona’s win on Saturday evening, but he set a school record with 304 receiving yards and averaged a staggering 10.5 yards per route run. He finished the game with four receiving touchdowns and an elite 92.4 PFF receiving grade.
