The third week of the youthful college football finished off into the wee hours of Sunday morning with UC-Davis flying to the Big Island to take on Hawaii.
Defenses were practically non-existent for most of the FBS action this week in terms of yards and points as most surrendered over 250 yards and atleast two touchdowns. However, there were maybe three or four on defense that recorded two interceptions against their opponents, such as Oregon safety Tyree Robinson, who converted one of his picks for a touchdown against Georgia State.
Failing to be productive on the defensive end of things with high-scoring affairs finding homes in week three, about half a dozen quarterbacks were able to chip in as secondary running backs.
Triumphant as some studs were on defense from an individual standpoint, most of the top performances of week three come on the opposite side of the ball led by Baker Mayfield, who set a new school record in yards produced at 572.
