Some of these 16 stats from Week 10 are just for trivia, but most are good to know as you look at fantasy trends/leaders across the season or for specific positions or teams. Since teams have played such an uneven number of games, this week I have a few conference-specific stats.
Minnesota RB Mohamed Ibrahim ran for 30/224-4 on Saturday (the only player to rush for 200 yards this week). Rushing for 200 yards and 4 TDs has only happened four times this season, and Ibrahim has two of those four, Najee Harris (Alabama) and Daetrich Harrington (App State) have the other two.
Florida QB Kyle Trask threw for 474-4 last weekend. He has thrown for 4+ TDs in all five of Florida’s game this season. Second in the nation with four 4 TD passing games are Dillon Gabriel (UCF), and Brady White (Memphis). As a point of reference, in 2019 the only QBs with more than five 4-TD passing games were Joe Burrow (LSU) with 9, and Anthony Gordon (Wash St) and Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama) with 6.
Last weekend 5 players had 200+ receiving yards, this week no one crossed the 200 yard mark. East Carolina WR Blake Proehl was the week 10 leader with 182 yards on 13 receptions.
Clemson WR Cornell Powell caught 6/161-1 this weekend against Notre Dame, while going for 11/105-0 last weekend. His previous career high prior to the last two weeks was 50 yards despite being at Clemson since 2016. What changed? – Well in part Clemson has dealt with a number of WR injuries this season, but the real answer – QB DJ Uiagalelei has started the last two weeks and the two appear to have a connection. It will be interesting to see Powell’s production when Trevor Lawrence returns.
Colorado RB Jarek Broussard, filling in for an injured Alex Fontenot, ran for 31/187-3 this week. Last season 180 yards and 3 TDs rushing only happened twice in the Pac-12, both times by Oregon’s CJ Verdell.
Since volume matters, 3 RBs had 31 carries, the high total of the week – Jarek Broussard, Colorado (31/187-3), Breece Hall, Iowa State (31/133-2), and Eric Gray, Tennessee (31/123-1).
Washington State RB Deon McIntosh rushed for 18/144-1 filling in for an injured Max Borghi. The last time a Washington State player rushed for more than 140 yards was RB Dwight Tardy in 2007.
Miami QB D’Eriq King threw for 430 yards and 5 TDS and rushed for 105 yards against NC State on Saturday. The last QB to pass for 400-5 and rush for 100 – also D’Eriq King, playing for Houston in 2018. Consider me impressed.
Only four QBs in conferences that debuted last week (MAC & PAC-12) had 300 yard passing games – Kedon Slovis, USC (381), Tristan Gebbia, Oregon State (329), Drew Plitt, Ball State (309), & Dorian Thompson-Robinson, UCLA (303).
Of the 474 yards Florida threw for on Saturday, 212 yards were to RBs – Dameon Pierce 2/41, Malik Davis 5/100 (team’s leading receiver Saturday), Nay’quan Wright 3/71 – 10 total catches by RBs for an average of 21.2 yards a reception.
Tulane RB Cameron Carroll ran for 6/129-2 last weekend, giving him 10 rushing TDs on the season. Carroll is one of only 10 players this season who already have 10 rushing TDs, but is averaging the lowest carries per game (11.25) of any of those players. With 90 rushing attempts on the season, Carroll is scoring a TD on 11% of his carries. Of those with 10 rushing TDs, UNC RB Javonte Williams has the best TD/carry ratio, scoring 14 TDs on 107 attempts, or 13% of the time.
The SEC player with the most 100 rushing yard games this season – Isaiah Spiller, Texas A&M with four – tied with three games are Tank Bigsby (Auburn), Eric Gray (Tennessee), Kevin Harris (South Carolina), and Najee Harris (Alabama).
Nevada QB Carson Strong threw for 36/52-411-3 in week 10. Including going back into last season, he has now thrown for 350+ yards in 5 straight games. Yes I shared this last week as well when he had 4 in a row, but this is fairly impressive, only 6 players have 3 or more 350 yard passing games this season (Strong has 3).
TCU QB Max Duggan passed for 73 yards, while rushing for 19/154-3 against Texas Tech. While Duggan is thought of by most as a dual threat, it was only the second game of his career rushing for more than 100 yards, topping a 115 yard game last season. But the 73 yards passing this weekend was the 3rd lowest total of his 18 game career at TCU.
Only one school has two different players with 13 receptions in a game this season – East Carolina WR Blake Proehl had 13 this week, while ECU WR Tyler Snead had 16 catches a week ago, which was the season-high for any player.
Of players with more than one game played, Nevada WR Romeo Doubs is leading the nation in receiving yards per game with 157.7, and Purdue WR David Bell is leading the nation in receptions per game with 11.0.
