<p>After an exciting Week 2 of the college football slate, ESPN analyst <strong>Kirk Herbstreit</strong> had no shortage of players to pick from for his top performers. And Herbstreit’s final group of seven players ran the gamut, from quarterbacks to an offensive lineman.</p>



<p>Topping the list are a pair of quarterbacks — <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/quinn-ewers-97493/">Quinn Ewers</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kyle-mccord-76778/">Kyle McCord</a></strong> — before a number of offensive positional players slot in. No defensive players made Herbstreit’s list, though a pair of kickers did crack it.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-quinn-ewers-qb-texas"><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/quinn-ewers-97493/">Quinn Ewers</a>, QB, <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/texas-longhorns/">Texas</a></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="538" src="https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/07150929/Quinn-Ewers-UM-1024x538.png" alt="Texas" class="wp-image-2692340" srcset="https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/07150929/Quinn-Ewers-UM-1024x538.png 1024w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/07150929/Quinn-Ewers-UM-300x158.png 300w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/07150929/Quinn-Ewers-UM-768x403.png 768w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/07150929/Quinn-Ewers-UM-50x26.png 50w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/07150929/Quinn-Ewers-UM.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">(Will Gallagher/Inside Texas)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Ewers looked sharp as Texas rolled to a Top 10 road win over <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/michigan-wolverines/">Michigan</a></strong>. And it was enough to earn 1st billing on Herbstreit’s players of the week.</p>



<p>Against the Wolverines, Ewers went 24-of-36 for 246 yards and three touchdowns and no interceptions. More performances like this out of Ewers and the Longhorns can expect to keep climbing.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="538" src="https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/03170544/Kyle-McCord-1024x538.png" alt="Kyle McCord" class="wp-image-2682709" srcset="https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/03170544/Kyle-McCord-1024x538.png 1024w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/03170544/Kyle-McCord-300x158.png 300w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/03170544/Kyle-McCord-768x403.png 768w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/03170544/Kyle-McCord-50x26.png 50w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/03170544/Kyle-McCord.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">© Rich Barnes-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>McCord has shredded through two games at Syracuse in 2024. And on Saturday, he helped guide the Orange to a win over ranked <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/college/georgia-tech-yellow-jackets/">Georgia Tech</a></strong>.</p>



<p>McCord went 32-of-46 for 381 yards and four touchdowns and no interceptions in the win. He also helped finish off a game-sealing drive in the final minutes.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-cam-skattebo-rb-arizona-state"><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/cameron-skattebo-18080/">Cam Skattebo</a>, RB, <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/arizona-state-sun-devils/">Arizona State</a></h2>

<p>Arizona State rolled out to a 2-0 record with a win over <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/mississippi-state-bulldogs/">Mississippi State</a></strong> in which Skattebo dominated. He carried 33 times for 262 yards. </p>



<p>He also caught three passes for 35 yards. Somehow, Skattebo didn’t find the end zone.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-kanon-woodill-k-northern-illinois"><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/kanon-woodill-179112/">Kanon Woodill</a>, K, <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/northern-illinois-huskies/">Northern Illinois</a></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10165450/USATSI_24179903-1024x576.jpg" alt="Kanon Woodill" class="wp-image-2702866" srcset="https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10165450/USATSI_24179903-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10165450/USATSI_24179903-300x169.jpg 300w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10165450/USATSI_24179903-768x432.jpg 768w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10165450/USATSI_24179903-50x28.jpg 50w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10165450/USATSI_24179903.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Matt Cashore-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure>



<p>At the business end of the upset of the weekend was Woodill, who knocked home a go-ahead, 35-yard field goal with :31 seconds remaining. That was enough for his Northern Illinois squad to toppled No. 5 <strong><a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/notre-dame-fighting-irish/">Notre Dame</a></strong>, 16-14.</p>



<p>Woodill also hit a pair of earlier field goals in the game, all necessary for the win. And nine points later, he was a key piece to the Huskies pulling the historic upset.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-kyle-konrardy-k-iowa-state">Kyle Konrardy, K, <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/iowa-state-cyclones/">Iowa State</a></h2>

<p>The CyHawk rivalry game came down to the final kick, and it was Iowa State’s <strong>Kyle Konrardy</strong> delivering the win for the Cyclones. That kick, from 54 yards, helped deliver a big win.</p>



<p>But Konrardy also knocked home a kick from 46 yards earlier in the fourth quarter, a key score to set up his game winner. And with it, the Cyclones get bragging rights for a year.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ashton-jeanty-rb-boise-state"><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/ashton-jeanty-145076/">Ashton Jeanty</a>, RB, <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/boise-state-broncos/">Boise State</a></h2>

<p>Jeanty is a prohibitive Heisman leader after two weeks. And his stat line in Week 2 certainly helped his case, despite a loss.</p>



<p>Jeanty carried the ball 25 times for 192 yards and three touchdowns. He’s up to nine rushing touchdowns through two weeks. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-jake-majors-c-texas"><a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jake-majors-53634/">Jake Majors</a>, C, Texas</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="1024" height="538" src="https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10115751/Untitled-design-100-3-1024x538.png" alt="Jake Majors" class="wp-image-2701790" srcset="https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10115751/Untitled-design-100-3-1024x538.png 1024w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10115751/Untitled-design-100-3-300x158.png 300w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10115751/Untitled-design-100-3-768x403.png 768w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10115751/Untitled-design-100-3-50x26.png 50w, https://on3static.com/uploads/dev/assets/cms/2024/09/10115751/Untitled-design-100-3.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jake Majors (Will Gallagher/Inside Texas)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Majors helped anchor a Texas offensive line that stonewalled the Michigan defensive front. It was a big test, and Majors and the Longhorns answered with aplumb.</p>



<p>The Wolverines managed just four tackles for loss and no sacks. And the Longhorns rushed for 143 yards at a 4.5 yard per carry clip.</p>
