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 were clear standouts at their positions.
So without further ado, here are my Week Eight 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
Ever since the comeback against Washington State, Bo Nix has established himself as the best quarterback in the Pac-12.
Against UCLA, Nix threw for 283 yards and five touchdowns, completing 79 percent of his passes. He also ran the ball eight times for 51 yards and a 6.4-yard per carry average.
Defensive Player of the Week: Keshawn Banks, DL, San Diego State
Even though San Diego State had multiple standouts on defense in their win against Nevada, Keshaun Banks proved the most consistent, finishing with five tackles including three and a half for a loss.
Special Teams Player of the Week: Joshua Karty, K, Stanford
Stanford had 15 points. Joshua Karty was 5-5 kicking field goals. Karty 15, Arizona State 14.
Offensive Freshman of the Week: Damien Martinez, RB, Oregon State
Damien Martinez could be the next elite Oregon State running back.
Martinez finished the game against Colorado with 178 yards, three touchdowns, and 8.1 yards per carry.
Defensive Freshman of the Week: Ernest Cooper, Edge, Stanford
Ernest Cooper finished the Cardinal’s outing against ASU with five tackles, two-and-a-half for a loss, and one sack.
Honorable Mention
Offensive: Troy Franklin, WR, Oregon
Defensive: Mo Osling III, DB, UCLA
Special Teams: Jonah Dalmas, K/P, Boise State
Freshman Offensive: J.Michael Sturdivant, WR, California
