Highest-Graded Penn State Pass-Rushers in Week 9
MIAMI (FL) 36, FLORIDA STATE 14
Miami (FL) DI Simeon Barrow Jr.
The Hurricanes were stout on defense in Week 9, and Barrow was their highest-graded player on that side of the ball. He was solid against the run, earning a 69.9 PFF run-defense grade, but he really stood out in the passing game. Barrow notched a sack and three quarterback hurries across only 18 pass-rushing snaps.
NOTRE DAME 51, NAVY 14
Notre Dame QB Riley Leonard
Leonard was phenomenal as then-No. 12 Notre Dame handled business against then-No. 24 Navy in Week 9. He earned a 91.2 PFF overall grade, going 13-of-21 for 178 yards with a pair of touchdowns. Leonard made three big-time throws and no turnover-worthy plays. He was unstoppable, regardless of whether the Midshipmen blitzed, which they did on almost half of his dropbacks.
