Darius Perrantes QB vs. Grayson McCall QB
Darius Perrantes, the Dukes’ quarterback, has shown flashes of brilliance this season. With 21 completions from 44 attempts, he has passed for 355 yards. His completion percentage of 47.7 may raise concerns, but his 8.1 yards per attempt can’t be ignored. Perrantes excels under pressure and has a quick decision-making process but needs to work on his sack awareness, having lost 26 yards across 4 sacks. Additionally, his passer rating of 136.4 suggests he can be a game-changer when he’s on form.
Grayson McCall for the Chanticleers has had an impressive start, albeit with some room for improvement. He has completed 48 of his 71 passing attempts, accumulating 539 yards in the process. Boasting a completion rate of 67.6% and 7.6 yards per attempt, he brings a sense of reliability to his team. However, he needs to work on his pocket presence, considering he’s been sacked seven times for a loss of 56 yards. His passer rating of 135 indicates that he’s nearly matching Perrantes in terms of efficiency, adding another layer of excitement to this matchup.
