Widest margin of victory in FBS college football games after Week 3 observed since the year 2000
In the third week of the 2023 college football season, we've seen a host of impressive performances and high-scoring games that have captivated fans across the country.
One player to watch is Bryce Underwood of the Spartans. His versatility as a passer and runner could make him a tough matchup for Nebraska, as he continues to showcase his skills on the field.
Meanwhile, USC's Jayden Maiava has been setting records, boasting the highest passer rating in the country. This impressive feat is a testament to his skill and the potency of the Trojans' offense.
Texas Tech's offense is leading the way in the nation, averaging a staggering 58 points per game. Georgia Tech's offense, too, faces a formidable challenge, going up against a Haynes King-led offense that's equally potent.
The average winning margin in FBS games is 25.5 points per game, but for Power Conference teams, it's even higher, sitting at 28.9 points per game. This trend is evident in the success of teams like the Utes, who average 290 yards per game in their run game.
However, some defenses have struggled to keep up. UAB's defense, for instance, ranks 131st, allowing 473 yards per game. This could bode well for offenses looking to make their mark in the coming weeks.
The high-scoring games haven't stopped there. A total of 53 games have been decided by at least 40 points through Week 3, with 25 games seeing the winner score at least 60 points – the most since 2018. Eight FBS teams are averaging at least 50 points per game, further highlighting the offensive dominance we've seen so far this season.
Elsewhere, there have been standout individual performances. Tulane Division II transfer Trinidad Chambliss had an impressive outing against Arkansas, while Florida's quarterback, DJ Lagway, had a five-interception game at LSU.
In the SEC, Missouri has won seven straight home games, and Carson Beck is the most accurate passer in the country through Week 3. Vanderbilt, on the other hand, aims to keep everyone healthy and give backups some work in the next two games.
As we move into Week 4, the college football landscape continues to be shaped by these high-scoring offenses and standout performances. The action promises to be thrilling, and fans are eagerly anticipating what the rest of the season holds.
