Poised for a 2022 standout season: The Rebels are leaning heavily on transfers, including the potential starting backfield of QB Jaxson Dart (USC) and Zach Evans (TCU). Dart will try to outduel Luke Altmyer in preseason camp. Evans averaged 7.3 yards per carry in two seasons with the Horned Frogs. The Rebels are replacing quarterback Matt Corral and their top three running backs. - AP College Football

Poised for a 2022 standout season: Redshirt senior quarterback Spencer Sanders could be one of the nation's best players if he can avoid mistakes. He threw four interceptions in a Big 12 title game loss to Baylor and then passed for 371 yards and ran for 125 in a win over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. He passed for 2,839 yards and ran for 668 last season. - AP College Football

04/27/22 - Jaxson Dart, Sr/2025, Mississippi + More +

Jaxson Dart was so focused on competing, he forgot to do the things that would've helped him compete. Saturday's Grove Bowl was not a banner day for Ole Miss football's quarterbacks competing for the starting job. Dart and sophomore Luke Altmyer combined to complete 20 of 52 pass attempts (38.5%) for 348 yards. Dart threw two fourth-quarter touchdowns to go along with two first half interceptions. Altmyer ran for two touchdowns against a defense that wasn't allowed to touch him.

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said he thought Altmyer was in more control and Dart's focus might've been in the wrong place. "I thought he was trying to win the job instead of just playing quarterback," Kiffin said. "He was forcing balls and not being very consistent. In the second half he ended up calming down and taking it one play at a time and ended up making some plays." When Dart was bad, he was atrocious. His first interception happened because he overthrew tight end Michael Trigg over the middle and put the ball right in safety Derek Bermudez's belly. Then Dart sprinted upfield to try to make a tackle, lowered his shoulder straight into linebacker Troy Brown and ended up getting leveled. His other interception came because he threw a ball straight to cornerback Tysheem Johnson without a receiver within five yards. Johnson returned the pass 73 yards for a touchdown. - The Clarion Ledger

03/04/22 - Spencer Sanders, rSr/2024, Mississippi + More +

When the Oklahoma State football season ended, quarterback Spencer Sanders was standing on the stage at the Fiesta Bowl, holding the offensive MVP trophy from the 37-35 comeback win over Notre Dame. He had thrown for 371 yards and four touchdowns, both season highs. He had completed 34 of 51 passes and rushed for 125 yards, all of which were career highs. And he helped lead the Cowboys out of a 28-7 hole for one of the biggest victories in program history. So it seems safe to say Sanders closed the season with the best performance of his career.

Of course, one game earlier, Sanders threw four interceptions as the Cowboys came up inches short of the Big 12 championship. And that encapsulates Sanders' embattled Cowboy career. However, in 2021, he showed more consistency, despite a couple of lapses, than he had shown in the previous two seasons. Now with Sanders heading toward his fourth season as the starting quarterback, the Cowboys know what they have: a special talent whose mistake-prone tendencies are becoming fewer and farther between. - Daily Oklahoman

Oklahoma State was a step slow in the first half, appearing to be stuck in the desert sand while Notre Dame raced around the field. A quick scoring drive just before halftime gave the No. 9 Cowboys a spark and they rode it one of the biggest victories in school history. Led by Spencer Sanders, Oklahoma State pulled off the biggest comeback in Fiesta Bowl history, overcoming a 21-point deficit to beat No. 5 Notre Dame 37-35 on Saturday. Sanders accounted for 496 yards and threw three of his four touchdown passes to Tay Martin, including a 9-yarder to cap a four-play, 75-yard drive just before halftime. "Us going down and scoring quickly just before the half, that gave us hope," Oklahoma State Mike Gundy said. "That gave us a chance as coaches to say, "Guys, we're fine." Oklahoma State (12-2, No. 9 CFP) came up inches short of securing a College Football Playoff spot in a loss to No. 6 Baylor at the Big 12 title game and fell into 21-point, first-half hole against Notre Dame (11-2, No. 5 CFP).

Jack Coan led Notre Dame's early charge while throwing for a Fiesta Bowl-record 509 yards and five touchdowns. Sanders and Martin brought the Cowboys back. Sanders, who had a 9-yard touchdown pass to Jaden Bray in the first quarter, cut Notre Dame's lead to 28-14 with a 9-yard scoring pass to Martin with 37 seconds left in the first half. The pair connected for two more touchdowns, from 5 and 8 yards, to tie the game, and the Cowboys went up 34-28 on three field goals by Tanner Brown. Sanders threw for 371 yards on 34-of-51 passing and ran for 125 yards after throwing four interceptions in the Big 12 title game. - Oklahoma State/AP College Football
