Best player in college football? Baylor's Corey Coleman makes case

WACO, Texas -- It’s Corey Coleman’s world, and everyone else is just living in awe of it.

His fellow Baylor receivers are amazed. His quarterback is thankful. And even the opposing head coaches aren’t reluctant to pay their respect.

“Number 1 is the best player in college football,” West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen said. “You can put me on record for that. He’s the best football player in college football.”

And after 16 touchdowns in six games, he’s just getting started, and the college football world is just starting to take notice. What Coleman achieved in a 62-38 blowout of West Virginia -- 10 catches, 199 yards, three touchdowns, one school record -- was about par for the course during this insane hot streak.
