Deep dives
Texas vs. Alabama: Quinn Ewers' performance under scrutiny

Tulane vs. Ole Miss: Michael Pratt's performance in the spotlight
Tulane quarterback Michael Pratt has been generating buzz as a potential NFL prospect. Facing a notable opponent in Ole Miss, this game will be a significant opportunity for Pratt to solidify his status and showcase his skills.
Oregon vs. Texas Tech: Bo Nix's debut for Oregon and key offensive weapons
Bo Nix's first game for Oregon will be under scrutiny as he leads the offense against Texas Tech. The performance of key offensive weapons like running back Buki Irving and receiver Troy Franklin will also be of interest.
Wisconsin vs. Washington State: Wisconsin's linebackers and overall team performance
Wisconsin's linebackers have caught attention with their impressive play. Watching their performance against Washington State, along with the overall team performance, will provide insight into the Badgers' season ahead.
Beechum Robinson shows promising talent
Beechum Robinson, despite uncertainties about usage and touches, displayed impressive talent in the game. He showcased his ability to win one-on-one matchups, both as a ball winner and a pass-catching threat. With his size and skills, he has the potential to make a significant impact on the team's offense.
Will McDonald could make a splash on the defense
Will McDonald, while having questions about his every-down play and overall fit as a 15th overall pick, has the potential to excel in specific pass-rushing situations. Playing for a stack defense and being used primarily as a sub-package player, McDonald could accumulate impressive sack numbers and contribute to a potential playoff-bound team, positioning himself as a strong contender for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
