North team

All four of the North’s quarterbacks had solid performances. Carson Wentz (-0.8) came into the game after a week of hype and, while he didn’t blow anyone away with his performance on Saturday, his lone poor play was displaying some poor ball security which led to a fumble on the sack by defensive end Shawn Oakman. Cody Kessler (+1.4) completed some nice throws for first downs, but didn’t challenge the defense downfield. He completed just one throw of 10 yards or more downfield. Kevin Hogan (+1.4) had just four passes, but completed three of them, while the other was thrown away. Jeff Driskel (+1.6) got the most work as they attempted to mount a comeback, but did his best work on passes between zero and 10 yards downfield, going seven-for-seven on those throws before the last gasp 29 yards hail mary to score as time expired.

The star on the defensive side of the ball for the North team was Notre Dame defensive lineman Sheldon Day (+3.3). He spent most of his time on the edge, though did see eight snaps at defensive tackle, and stood out both as a pass rusher and against the run. Too much for left tackles Le’Raven Clark and Spencer Drango, he was arguably the game’s best player.

Temple linebacker Tyler Matakevich (+2.3) impressed us throughout the year, and he stood out against the run in the game. He was exposed in coverage on one occasion, but displayed excellent reactions on running plays, finishing the game with four defensive stops — two more than any other player on the North defense.

Top grades:

DE Sheldon Day +3.3
S Darian Thompson +2.3
LB Tyler Matakevich +2.3
QB Jeff Driskell +1.6
QB Cody Kessler +1.4
QB Kevin Hogan +1.4
