Utah coach Kyle Wittingham's new quarterback will be throwing to emerging go-to wide receiver Kenneth Scott.(US Presswire)

You might have heard that USC quarterback Matt Barkley threw a career-high six touchdown passes in the Trojans' 42-29 win over Syracuse on Saturday. You also might have heard that UCLA running back Johnathan Franklin topped the 200-yard mark for the second time in two games with 217 yards in the Bruins' win over Nebraska. 

Franklin and Barkley aren't the only Pac-12 players who shined on Saturday though; here are three performances you may have missed. 

3 under-the-radar performances

S Ed Reynolds, Stanford: Opposing quarterbacks will probably start paying more attention to Reynolds following his performance against Duke on Saturday. The junior safety picked off two passes against the Blue Devils, including a third-quarter interception that Reynolds returned 71 yards for a touchdown. The junior's other interception wasn't too shabby either -- he returned that one 50 yards. With three picks this season, Reynolds is tied with Ohio State's Travis Howard for the national interception lead.  

WR Kenneth Scott, Utah: One of the few positives to come out of Utah's 27-20 overtime loss to Utah State on Friday was the emergence of Scott. Scott, who only had eight receptions during the entire 2011 season, had three catches for 82 yards Friday. The catches were all huge for Utah as two of them went for touchdowns and the one that didn't went for a 30-yard gain. Scott proved he can play with either of Utah's quarterbacks; one of his touchdown passes came from Jon Hays, the other one came from Travis Wilson. 

TE Chris Coyle, Arizona State: A 10-catch, 131-yard, two-touchdown performance doesn't usually go under the radar, but it does if you're a tight end and you play for Arizona State. Coyle was the favorite target of ASU quarterbacks Taylor Kelly and Michael Eubank. To put his 10-catch game in perspective, Coyle only had six catches in all of 2011. With 196 yards on the season, Coyle is now third in the Pac-12 in receiving, ahead of some big names like Cal's Keenan Allen, USC's Robert Woods and Washington State's Marquess Wilson.  

Others considered: LB Carlos Mendoza, Arizona State: Mendoza intercepted two passes in the first half against Illinois on Saturday before leaving the game with an injured shoulder. Sun Devils coach Todd Graham annouced Tuesday that Mendoza's injury will cause him to miss the rest of the season.
