Our weekly list of three things we learned starts with the quarterback I don't think could have done anything better in Sunday's game.
Geno Smith, Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield showed the value that can be found in picking up a car that other teams have deemed a lemon.
In his ambition, Kalen DeBoer turned to a program whose fans he didn't really understand. After a loss to Vandy, he's getting an idea, though.
