Offense
OL Darrian Dalcourt: Didn’t allow a sack or pressure
TE Cameron Latu: Hauled in three passes for 43 yards and two TDs
WR John Metchie III: Led team in catches (6) with 76 yards and a TD
QB Bryce Young: Broke multiple passing records for QB making debut
Defense
OLB Will Anderson: Led team in tackles (9) with a sack and 5 QB pressures
CB Jalyn Armour-Davis: Helped hold Miami to only 179 yards passing
Special Teams
K Will Reichard: Didn’t miss a kick (3 FGs, 5 PATs) with long of 51 yards
With Jameson Williams hauling in four catches for a team-leading 126 yards, some may be surprised to see Metchie as the Player of the Week. However, statistics don’t tell the entire story, and Metchie played extremely well.
That holds true for Armour-Davis as well. Yes, the redshirt junior gave up a couple of catches. But in today’s college football, that’s to be expected. He showed real value in coverage. Slowly, he’s emerging as a quality starter opposite Josh Jobe.
