“I think Jaxon's done what he's done all year, and that's just play within himself. Certainly some of the plays he made tonight was tremendous.

I'm going back out there. And played one of the best games probably in the history of the Rose Bowl.

The kid is tremendous,” Whittingham said. “Like I said, the QBR, the quarterback rating system that ESPN uses, which in my estimation is the most accurate and the most telling of statistics for determining how well your quarterback's playing, he leads the nation. I think you saw it tonight why.”
