Who’ll lead college football’s biggest stat categories in 2018? You can bet on them

You can put your money down on Bryce Love, Nick Fitzgerald, Khalil Tate, and more big star players.

College football over/unders are out for basic quarterback, running back, and wide receiver stat totals during the regular season, including a handful of big-name returning at each position. All odds via Bovada.

Passing stats

Passing yards

  • West Virginia QB Will Grier — Over/Under: 3900.5
  • Penn State QB Trace McSorley — Over/Under: 3450.5
  • Oregon QB Justin Herbert — Over/Under: 3100.5
  • Arizona QB Khalil Tate —Over/Under: 2550.5
  • Mississippi State QB Nick Fitzgerald —Over/Under: 2449.5

Passing TDs

  • West Virginia QB Will Grier — Over/Under: 35.5
  • Penn State QB Trace McSorley —Over/UndeR: 25.5
  • Oregon QB Justin Herbert — Over/Under: 25.5
  • Mississippi State QB Nick Fitzgerald — Over/Under: 21.5
  • Arizona QB Khalil Tate — Over/Under: 20.5

Grier’s favored here, and Penn State’s offense will evolve minus Joe Moorhead and Saquon Barkley, but McSorley should still have a creative system. Herbert should pile up numbers, based on his limited sample size last year. Fitzgerald gets the chance to work with Moorhead, whose simple-but-effective offense has generated big stats everywhere he’s been. And Tate will be a treat to watch under Kevin Sumlin, whose previous QBs included Johnny Manziel.

Rushing stats

Rushing yards

  • Stanford RB Bryce Love— Over/Under: 1900.5
  • Wisconsin RB Johnathan Taylor— Over/Under: 1900.5
  • Washington RB Myles Gaskin— Over/Under: 1400.5
  • Arizona QB Khalil Tate— Over/Under: 1400.5
  • Ohio State RB J.K. Dobbins— Over/Under: 1374.5
  • Oklahoma RB Rodney Anderson— Over/Under: 1150.5
  • Mississippi State QB Nick Fitzgerald— Over/Under: 990.5

Rushing TDs

  • Washington RB Myles Gaskin— Over/Under: 18.5
  • Stanford RB Bryce Love— Over/Under: 17.5
  • Wisconsin RB Johnathan Taylor— Over/Under: 15.5
  • Mississippi State QB Nick Fitzgerald — Over/Under: 13.5
  • Arizona QB Khalil Tate— Over/Under: 13.5
  • Oklahoma RB Rodney Anderson— Over/Under: 13.5
  • Ohio State RB J.K. Dobbins— Over/Under: 12.5

Love will be looking to start another Heisman campaign in 2018, after posting tons of highlights last year. A big key will be his health — he missed a game last season due to injury and was banged-up late. Taylor might have the country’s best offensive line in front of him. And with Baker Mayfield gone from Oklahoma, Anderson will be a bigger key on offense for the Sooners this season.

Receiving stats

Receiving yards

  • Ole Miss WR A.J. Brown— Over/Under: 1300.5
  • Arizona State WR N’Keal Harry— Over/Under: 1100.5
  • West Virginia WR David Sills V— Over/Under: 1100.5

Receiving TDs

  • West Virginia WR David Sills V— Over/Under: 15.5
  • Ole Miss WR A.J. Brown— Over/Under: 13.5
  • Arizona State WR N’Keal Harry— Over/Under: 9.5

This is obviously a smaller group than the quarterbacks and RBs, but all three play in explosive offenses with productive QBs. And with Brown returning to Oxford, we’ll get to see him Eurostepping defenders again in 2018.
