The Associated Press national player of the week in college football for Week 10 of the season:

Jaxson Dart, Mississippi

Dart threw for a Mississippi-record 515 yards and rushed for 47 in the Rebels' 63-31 win at Arkansas. His 562 total yards broke Archie Manning's school-record of 540, set in 1969 against Alabama. Dart also threw six of the Rebels' record-tying seven touchdown passes.

Dart joined Missouri's Drew Lock (2017) as the only Southeastern Conference quarterbacks to throw for at least 500 yards and six TDs in a game.

Dart's school-record 13th game throwing for 300-plus yards came with national receiving leader Tre Harris out because of injury. Jordan Watkins picked up the slack, and then some, setting school records with 254 receiving yards and five touchdowns on eight catches.

Runner-up

Cam Ward threw for 400 yards and five touchdowns in a 53-31 victory over Duke, and he orchestrated a third comeback from a double-digit deficit in the second half for the unbeaten Hurricanes. Ward has 29 touchdown passes, tied with Steve Walsh for the school single-season record.

Three of his TD passes went to Xavier Restrepo, who finished with eight catches for 146 yards to move past Santana Moss for first place on the Miami career receiving yards list with 2,573.
