Ole Miss Football: Matt Corral tabbed Davey O’Brien QB of the Week

Ole Miss football has put up impressive numbers behind Matt Corral who has been named the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the week.

Ole Miss football is synonymous with great quarterbacks and the 2020 Ole Miss Rebels do indeed have a great one. Redshirt sophomore Matt Corral has thus far been nothing short of amazing in the 2020 college football season and has proven to be a much better quarterback than many gave him credit for. Despite the Rebels 2-4 record in the Covid-19 edition of an SEC-only 10-game schedule, Corral has shown he has the intelligence to run a high-potency offense and the arm to make the throws that count when needed.

This past week at Vandy, Corral demonstrated what he and the offense can do completing 31 of 34 attempts for 412 yards and 6 TDs. The Davey O’Brien Foundation took notice naming Matt Corral as the National Quarterback of the week. Corral was also named the Walter Camp Player of the Week as well as the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. The proof that Corral is a great QB doesn’t lay in just one week but what he has done throughout the 2020 college football season.
