1. Robbie Rouse, Fresno State
Four touchdowns in a quarter? Mighty Mouse blew up the hapless Buffalo defense.
2. Jonathan Dowling, Western Kentucky
The Western Kentucky cornerback made life hard on UK quarterback Maxwell Smith.
3. Kolton Browning, ULM
Last week’s runaway top vote getter had another outstanding showing against SEC competition.
4. David Fales, San Jose State
Watch out for the Spartans in the pursuit for the WAC championship, and conference’s lone bowl bid. David Fales is making the most of a surprisingly deep receiving corps.
5. D.J. Harper, Boise State
Boise State picked up its first win, and D.J. Harper might have left some asking “Kellen who?” He scored four touchdowns and a two-point conversion.
