BCS Busters - Players of the Week

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

QB Brian Brunner, Central Michigan

Honorable Mention: Devin Moore, RB, Wyoming: 234 yards, three touchdowns

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

LB Maurice Kitchens, Marshall

Kitchens made big plays all game long in the Thundering Herd’s win over Houston. Kitchens recorded eight tackles (1.5 TFLs), a sack, an interception and a fumble recovery, which he returned 80 yards, setting up a touchdown.

Honorable Mention: Jerry Hughes, LB, TCU: four tackles, two sacks, one pass defensed

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

K/P Louie Sakoda, Utah

With Utah clinging to a 13-10 lead, Sakoda pinned New Mexico at their own one-yard line with 1:58 remaining in the game, his fourth punt inside the Lobos’ 20-yard line. He also made two field goals (38 & 43 yards) in the Utes’ win.
