Recapping Week 3 in college football:

STARS OF THE WEEK

Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Mahomes completed 26 of 30 attempts for 243 yards and a touchdown in a win against Arkansas, which stood as the worst start of his young career — which says a lot about the sophomore's start.

Northern Illinois cornerback Shawun Lurry. With two interceptions and two pass breakups, Lurry helped the Huskies' defense find answers for Ohio State's explosive offense.

Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield. There were some questions about Mayfield's production after last weekend's win against Tennessee, even if the former Texas Tech transfer did, well, lead the Sooners to the win. Any concerns were put to bed after Mayfield notched a school-record 570 yards of offense against Tulsa.

LSU running back Leonard Fournette. Give him the ball, step aside and let the sophomore go to work.

Iowa kicker Marshall Koehn. His 57-yard field goal as time expired lifted Iowa to a 27-24 win against Pittsburgh.

Bowling Green wide receiver Roger Lewis. The Falcons lost to Memphis but blame the defense. Lewis had 261 yards receiving to crack the 200-yard mark for the second week in a row, and through three games has 24 receptions for 510 yards.

Florida cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III. Superb play is simply expected from the junior, who made four tackles with an interception to slow down Kentucky's passing game.

Cincinnati linebacker Eric Wilson. His 18 tackles helped Cincinnati survive a major upset scare against Miami (Ohio).

Notre Dame running back C.J. Prosise. The converted wide receiver's ability to carry the load for the offense has been the greatest development of Notre Dame's early season. He ran 198 yards and two scores to key a win against Georgia Tech.

COACHES OF THE WEEK

Texas Tech defensive coordinator David Gibbs. The Red Raiders allowed less than 100 yards rushing and just three points in the second half of a 35-24 win against Arkansas.

Stanford coach David Shaw. For all the talk of Stanford's offensive demise — and calls for Shaw to try something new —– the Cardinal have notched at least 475 yards of offense in back-to-back games for the first time since Andrew Luck was playing quarterback.

Maryland offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Locksley. He's come under fire, and often deservedly so, but Locksley should be credited for the way he prepared quarterback Caleb Rowe against South Florida. Rowe threw for 297 yards and four touchdowns in his first start since 2013.

North Carolina defensive coordinator Gene Chizik. The Heels limited Illinois to 14 points and under 400 yards of offense, continuing Chizik's solid work in his first season with the program.

Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley. It's very clear that OU is beginning to grasp Riley's wide-open offense. This should place the rest of the Big 12 Conference on edge.

Notre Dame offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Mike Sanford. The Irish have remained unbeaten despite a run of injuries. They've survived even with DeShone Kizer replacing an injured Malik Zaire, which is a testament to Sanford's great work in his first season.

Northwestern defensive coordinator Mike Hankwitz. Hankwitz is the Big Ten Conference assistant coach of the year through three games. His defense has keyed wins against Stanford and Duke, the latter coming on the road.

NUMBERS TO KNOW

3. Number of times Alabama has allowed 43 or more points in last six games.

42. Middle Tennessee State points in the first quarter of a 73-14 win against Charlotte, seven points off the NCAA record for points in a single quarter.

96.0%. Georgia quarterback Greyson Lambert's completion percentage in a 52-30 win against South Carolina, a new school, conference and FBS record for a single game.

570. Yards of total offense by Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield, a program single-game record.

1,120. Combined total yardage from Memphis and Bowling Green in the Tigers' 44-41 win.
