Here are your college football players of the week. Remember, if you feel that another player was worthy of higher honors than the two I chose, post the athlete and let me hear why you think he or they were more deserving.
Here are your top performers of the week:
Offensive Player of the Week: Brandon Ore, RB Virginia Tech
What an incredible rushing performance by Ore against Clemson last Thursday. The Tigers, a week after holding star Georgia Tech receiver Calvin Johnson to zero catches, had absolutely no answer for Ore in Va Tech’s 24-7 thumping of Clemson.
The Hokie rushed for 203 yards and scored twice in the second half against a Tigers team that came into the contest ranked 10th in the nation.
Indian QB Kellen Lewis also deserves recognition for helping the Hoosiers completely demolish Michigan State 46-21. Lewis finished with five touchdown passes (including four to receiver James Hardy to set a school record) and one rushing score.
Defensive Player of the Week: Walter Mebane, LB Temple
How about those Owls, huh? Temple notched its first victory in 20 tries as the Owls defeated Bowling Green 28-14 on Saturday. Mebane was a huge catalyst in Temple getting off the schnide while recording a career high in tackles with 15.
