What happened: Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss rushed for a 14-yard game-winning touchdown to seal a victory over LSU. Miami quarterback Darian Mensah set an ACC record with 35 consecutive completed passes against Wake Forest. Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith surpassed Michael Jenkins' program mark for career receiving yards.

Why it matters: The Heisman landscape is shifting toward dual-threat options as the regular season enters conference play. Trinidad Chambliss secured SEC Player of the Week honors after his primetime performance. Smith sits six touchdowns shy of Chris Olave's school record and 27 catches behind Emeka Egbuka's receptions mark.

By the numbers: Through three games, Chambliss has logged 924 passing yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. Mensah holds 873 passing yards with 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions, while Texas quarterback Arch Manning has compiled 661 yards and seven passing scores this season.

What to watch: Ole Miss travels to face Florida this Saturday in a matchup of unbeaten SEC teams. Texas visits Tennessee, while Miami hosts Central Michigan.
