Disclaimer: It's early. Coan is not a blue chipper. Coan was an 87 rated 3 star. Coan has weak spots in his game. Coan will likely have bad games ahead of him. And most importantly, I'm not saying Coan is the second coming.
But.... taking time to recognize an elite road outing in opening week for our new QB......
I'll try to post his weekly ranks going forward as time permits to track his progress.
One of only two QBs in the last 25 years to have 350+ yards, 4 TDs, and less than 10 incompletions, in a road opener (per several tweets)
Broke road opener record for ND (held by Book per tweet) in a few stat categories.
Last time a ND QB had stats like that vs a P5 team was Jimmy Clausen vs Stanford in 2009
Week one QB stats/ranks (national, all stats from ESPN and SR)
Total Passing Yards (week 1 only) - ranked 5th among all QBs, 3rd among P5 QBs
Passer Rating (week 0 and 1) - ranked 13th among all QBs, 6th among P5 QBs
QBR (week 1) - ranked 26th among all, 11th among P5 QBs
Completion % (week 0 and 1) - ranked 17th among all, 8th among P5 QBs
AVG (week 0 and 1) - ranked 19th among all, 10th among P5
Note... the fact that Mayer's 2 drops and the hail mary INTs drag down the above stats, means he was even better than those ranks...
