The season may be only three games old, but signs of second-year growth from New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye are flashing right before our eyes. Even though Maye and the Patriots have lost two of their first three games, they've outplayed their opponents in all three games, with turnovers and penalties the prime factors in the losses to Las Vegas and Pittsburgh.
After opening the season with losses at Hawaii and BYU, Stanford shocked Boston College at Stanford Stadium, shutting the Eagles out in the second half and converting three turnovers into 21 points to give interim coach Frank Reich his first collegiate win. A Cardinal defense allowing its fewest rushing yards per game since 2013 and recording nine sacks will now face a Virginia offense that is eighth in the country in rushing yards (266.7) and hasn't allowed a sack.
