Miami Hurricanes quarterback Tyler Van Dyke is playing tremendous football. From 2023, there are several other signal callers that also continue to play at a high level.
Where does Van Dyke stand against the likes of Southern California’s Heisman-winning Caleb Williams and Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders?
Well, time to compare the stats, and then talk about situational football as well, to at least gain a better perspective of how good Van Dyke is playing this season when comparing him to the nation’s best.
So Canes fans know Van Dyke’s “big picture” stat line, he is now 57 of 75, equating to 76%, 822 yards, 11 yards per attempt, 8 touchdowns and only 1 interception. Van Dyke is also sitting on 1 rushing touchdown and the leader of an offense that’s equally adept at running or passing.
Is he still on the same level as some of the other elite names in college football?
