Some quarterback trickery the highlight of week three of college football

Dan Prescott and Jameon Lewis, take a bow.

5. Ducks can fly

Marcus Mariota is one of the more athletic quarterbacks in college football and he proved it with this dive into the endzone against Wyoming yesterday.

4. Crossing paths

Unless youโ€™ve ever thrown an American football, you probably canโ€™t appreciate how difficult it is to throw the perfect pass into triple coverage with your right hand while rolling to your left.

3. The right option

We went into some detail earlier in the week about just how effective the option can be. Iowa State executed it perfectly on this fourth and goal; drawing the defence with the quarterback run before EJ Bibbs makes the brilliant one-handed catch.

2. He took a Yancey

Despite pretty blatant pass interference from the Notre Dame corner, Purdueโ€™s DeAngelo Yancey made this sweet diving catch at the back of the endzone for the go-ahead score.

1. Dakota fanning those NFL rumours

Mississippi State wide receiver Jameon Lewis threw the fourth touchdown pass of his collegiate career yesterday when found Dakota Prescott on this nice play before the quarterback took it to the house.

Cruyff on footballโ€™s lost values and Roger Goodellโ€™s parental paradox; itโ€™s the weekโ€™s best sportswriting

    Just remember performance normally dips when changes of players selected in positions. (Continuity in selection) . Got to give the young blood game time never less but have no doubt Ireland will win this but expecting it to be quite scrappy..big emphasis on defence to suffocate those big Fijian athletes running at you and set piece/ territory as attacking platforms for the upper hand โ€ฆ( Need a structured game to beat the Polynesians comfortablyโ€ฆ

    @Stuart: weather is going to be bad as well so that only reinforces your points. Set piece solidity and staying in the structure as much as possible is key to good performance. A loose, scrappy game will suit the Fijians

    @Stuart: stop talking sense Stuart. The divine rugby experts living here do not want to hear that rubbish. Ireland should change all 15 players, drop anybody over 30, win by 50 points and sack Andy Farrell as he clearly doesnโ€™t know what heโ€™s doing, unlike them. It has been a catastrophic year post world cup where we only managed to win the six nations which included a rare away win in Paris, a disastrous drawn series in South Africa against the double world champs and being beaten by those rugby minnows known as the all blacks who managed to beat an astounding England and lost narrowly to France. Take your sensible well thought comments elsewhere. Only bile and misinformation is welcome here
