We’re handling our CFB Player of the Week selections a little differently this year with the responsibility for making the selections falling squarely on my shoulders.
I do my best to be objective each week, basing my picks on comparative performances and stats, but if you think I’m missing something, or maybe some bias has slipped in, feel free to let me know on Twitter.
This week’s player picks are the first involving all conference games.
So without further ado, here are my Week Four picks for SuperWest Players of the Week for Offense, Defense, and Special Teams as well as Offensive and Defensive Freshmen.
Offensive Player of the Week: Bo Nix, QB, Oregon
He finished the day throwing for 428 yards, four touchdowns, and only one interception.
Defensive Player of the Week: Mase Funa, LB, Oregon
Because of him, the Ducks College Football Playoff hopes are still alive.
Offensive Freshman of the Week: Jaydn Ott, RB, Cal
Ott could’ve easily been the offensive player of the week had Cal played a more meaningful opponent.
Defensive Freshman of the Week: Jaden Hicks, DB, WSU
Special Teams Player of the Week: Peyton Henry, K, UW
Peyton Henry was 4-4 on the day kicking field goals in a comfortable victory for Washington over Stanford.
Honorable Mention
Offensive: Jaren Hall, QB, BYU
Defensive: Eric Gentry, LB, USC
Special Teams: Camden Lewis, K, Oregon
