Which one was the #2 record? The attempts or the yards?
Florida state! Florida state! Florida state! Woooooooooo!
Yards (although it may also be attempts, but I don’t have the record book in front of me). The #1 came in a 4OT game, so he now holds the record for yards in regulation.
Speaking of records, just saw on ESPN that Jameis Winston now holds the record for best debut QBR in the BCS era - a perfect 158.3 on the NFL scale.
Snowboarder Bo, 'Nole Nation! The gauntlet is coming, @Clemson, v NC State, v Miami back-to-back-to-back. But if we play like we did last night…
On what kind of screwed-up scale is 158.3 “perfect”? 
Yeah, I know. Frankly, I’ve never understood (or cared to understand) what goes into QBR. I just sort of use it as a rough yardstick of performance and go on from there.
Not perfect, just record performance for rookie.
I saw it in an article on Business Insider and trusted it, but now you’ve made me look it up, dammit! 
According to this website, the 4 categories have a max score of 2.375 each. When you add them together, divide by 6, and multiply by 100, you get 158.3.
So,
25 of 27 complete (93% completion rate - 77.5% is max pts) = 2.375
4 of 27 touchdowns (15% rate - 11% is max pts) = 2.375
0 INTs (0% rate - 0% is max pts) = 2.375
27 pass attempts for 356 yds (13.1 Yards per Attempt - 12.5 yds is max pts) = 2.375
That’s perfect by the NFL scale.
I was sure you were wooshing me. It was the ridiculous “divide by 6, and multiply by 100” part that convinced me. Then I checked your link. It’s like they said “What’s the most convoluted way we can set it so that 100 is really, really good, but not perfect? Let’s get a bored statistician as well as a psychic to channel Fahrenheit.”
So… some games are more perfect than others. In the NFL, it’s artificially capped. In the college formula, going 1/1 for a 99 yard td is the same rating as going 2/2 for 198 yards 2 tds, or really infinity for infinity for infinity yards and infinite touchdowns.
Both the NFL and college quarterback rating formulas are, in effect, modified completion percentages.
The NFL rating counts every 20 yards as 1 completion, every TD as 4 completions, and every interception as -5, with minimum and maximum caps on all of the values (including actual completion percentage) and then that “multiply by 100 and divide by 6” thing - in fact, it’s more along the lines of “modified completion percentage x 5/6 - 25”.
The college rating counts every 11.9 yards as 1 completion, every TD as 3.3 completions, and every interception as -2.
