Mississippi quarterback Jaxson Dart is The Associated Press national player of the week for his performance against Arkansas. Dart threw for a school-record 515 yards and rushed for 47 in the Rebels’ 63-31 win. His 562 total yards broke Archie Manning’s school-record of 540 set in 1969 against Alabama. Dart also threw six of the Rebels’ record-tying seven touchdown passes. Miami’s Cam Ward is runner-up for the award. He threw for 400 yards and five touchdowns in a 53-31 victory over Duke and orchestrated a third comeback from a double-digit deficit in the second half for the unbeaten Hurricanes.
