SEC Football: Cook rises, Milton falls in SEC Quarterback Power Rankings

12. Max Johnson/Jaylen Henderson (Texas A&M)

Previous Ranking: 12

Jaylen Henderson made his second consecutive start as Texas A&M knocked off FCS Abilene Christian 38-10.  Henderson went 16/23 for 260 passing yards, 27 rushing yards, 2 passing TD’s, and 1 INT.

On the year, Max Johnson still sits at a 62.1% completion percentage (118/190 passing), 1,452 passing yards, 11 total TD’s (9 passing, 2 rushing), and 5 INT’s. Henderson meanwhile has a 64.3% completion percentage (27/42 passing), 410 passing yards, 94 rushing yards, 6 total TD’s, and 1 INT.

A&M will look to head into bowl season with 8 wins and potentially move up a spot or two in the pecking order as they battle Jayden Daniels and LSU at Noon Eastern on Saturday.

11. Payton Thorne (Auburn)

Previous Ranking: 11

Auburn’s going to want to forget Saturday’s performance as quickly as possible, as they were thumped 31-10 by New Mexico State. Thorne was efficient, but didn’t push the ball down the field (7.8 yards per attempt). Overall, he went 15/19 for 148 passing yard, 38 rushing yards, 1 passing TD, and 0 INT’s. For the year, Thorne has a 64.9% completion percentage (144/222 passing), 1,580 passing yards, 463 rushing yards, 17 total TD’s (14 passing, 3 rushing), and 7 INT’s.

Auburn will have their work cut out for them as they look for a bounce-back, but they have the chance to play major spoiler in the Iron Bowl as they take on Jalen Milroe and Alabama at 3:30 pm Eastern.
