College Football Players of the Week

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.

Offensive Player of the Week: Darren McFadden, RB Arkansas
The Razorbacks have had a tremendous year and McFadden’s weekly effort is a large reason why Arkansas is now ranked in the top 10. McFadden rushed for 181 yards on 30 carries in the Razorbacks’ 31-14 drubbing of Tennessee. McFadden didn’t stop there either – he also threw a 12-yard touchdown on a halfback pass.

Another guy deserving mention is Steve Breaston from Michigan. The wide receiver totaled 331 all-purpose yards in the Wolverines 34-3 spanking of Indiana. Breaston (known more for his return skills than his receiving talent) caught a 62-yard bomb from QB Chad Henne for a touchdown and also returned a punt 83 yards for a score.

Defensive Player of the Week: Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida
The Gators kept their national championship hopes alive thanks in large part to three blocked kicks in a 17-16 victory of South Carolina. Moss blocked an extra point that would have put the Game Cocks up by seven in the forth quarter and that would have probably at least sent the game into overtime when Florida scored to make the game 17-16. Moss then blocked a game-winning field goal attempt by South Carolina as time expired. If that wasn’t enough, Moss also had eight tackles and recovered a fumble.
