Maxwell Award Player of the Week
.
Skylar Thompson - QB- Kansas State
Skylar Thompson and Kansas State dealt a big blow to No. 5 Oklahoma's national title hopes with a shocking 48-41 upset victory over quarterback Jalen Hurts and the No. 5 Sooners at
Bill Snyder Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas. . The Wildcats' quarterback threw for 213 yards while running for four touchdowns, the defense did just enough against Hurts and the Sooners' prolific offense, and Kansas State held on through a harrowing fourth quarter for a 48-41 victory Saturday. His outstanding effort has earned him recognition as the Maxwell Award Player of the Week.
Bednarik Award Player of the Week
Chase Young - DL - Ohio State
Ohio State's Chase Young has been selected as the Chuck Bednarik Award Player of the Week after he recorded six total tackles with five tackles for loss, four sacks and two forced
fumbles in Ohio State's 38-7 win over Wisconsin Saturday. Young's four sacks tied an Ohio State school record, and he is now just a half-sack from breaking Vernon Gholston's single-season record of 14 sacks, which has stood since 2007. Young's 13.5 sacks lead the Football Bowl Subdivision, and his 15.5 total tackles for loss and five forced fumbles both rank second nationally. On Tuesday Young was also named a semifinalist for the Chuck Bednarik Award and the Maxwell Award.
