Whose performance was I most impressed with on Septebmer 7, 2013?

Four of the 5 college football teams came away with victories on Saturday.  And 4 of the 5 schools had impressive performances by the signal callers.  Whose performance was the most impressive?

Let's list what each winning quarterback did on Saturday.

Aaron Cantu for SUU didn't rack up a lot of yards in the air, but was incredibly accurate with his arm.  He completed 15 out of 16 passes and 4 touchdowns.  Considering that this was against a Division II school may figure into it a little bit, but that kind of accuracy is good.  Impressive, yes, but that is what a FCS school is supposed to do to a Division II school.

Travis Wilson numbers also seem impressive.  However, he put up 264 yards in the air against an FCS school that gave up 450 yards in the air the week before to another FCS school.  Impressive, yes, but that is what a PAC-12 team should do to a Big Sky Conference team with a suspect defense.

As for Weber State, it's only a matter of time before Austin Chippoletti is starting instead of Jordan Adamczyk.

Taysom Hill had a good game against the Texas defense when he was running the ball.  And since when did BYU become expert in the Wildcat offense?  Running the quarterback is a good way to get your quarterback hurt.  Cougar fans should be thankful for the win, but concerned about the passing game.  They have two weeks to figure that out before the Utes come to Provo.  In the long run, this game only proved how overrated the Longhorns are, not how good the Cougars can be.

Chuckie Keeton is still the best quarterback in Utah.  The Aggies said Hello to the MWC by blowing out Air Force.  Chuckie's stats look Heisman worthy.  Chuckie looked Heisman worthy.  That was impressive indeed.
