College Football Quarterback Power Rankings: Week 6

The second of three current or former Texas Tech quarterbacks to make the power rankings, Davis Webb has found a new home with the California Golden Bears. Taking over for Jared Goff comes with some lofty expectations and huge shoes to fill, but Webb is doing a fantastic job.

It’s pretty obvious at, this point, that California is a pass-heavy offense and Webb is proving that. After losing the starting job to Patrick Mahomes last season in Lubbock, the former Red Raider decided to transfer to a program that surely needed a proven starter, and he was it.

Webb passed for over 5,500 yards and 46 touchdowns in three seasons with Texas Tech and he’s currently on pace to approach that total in just one year with the Golden Bears.

To begin the 2016 campaign, the senior gunslinger has accounted for 2,143 yards and 22 touchdowns in just five games, leading all of college football in both categories. He’s averaging over an interception per game, but that can be cleaned up.

It’s Webb’s strong play that has helped the Golden Bears upset Texas and Utah already, but the defense for Cal is too lackluster to string together a couple of wins.
