After a hype-filled summer, Kentucky quarterback Will Levis threw for 303 yards and three touchdowns in the Wildcats’ 37-13 win over Miami (Ohio) in UK’s season opener Saturday.

So where did that passing performance rank among his fellow quarterbacks in the SEC?

Georgia’s Stetson Bennett was on target in the Bulldogs’ trouncing of Oregon on Saturday in Atlanta. Mississippi State’s Will Rogers was his usual Air Raid self, throwing for a career-high 450 yards in the Bulldogs’ victory over Memphis. And Texas A&M’s Haynes King was efficient in the Aggies’ victory over Sam Houston.

So, here are the passer efficiency rankings through games of Sept. 4, 2022:
