Big 10 Players of the Week (Official Thread)--merged all
http://ohiostatebuckeyes.collegespor...101705aaa.html
Quote:
DEFENSE:
Bobby Carpenter, Ohio State, SR, LB, Lancaster, Ohio/Lancaster
Carpenter equaled an Ohio State record with four sacks and recorded a season-best 11 tackles to help OSU hold the high-powered Michigan State attack three touchdowns below its season average in a 35-24 victory. The Spartans entered the game leading the conference with 45.4 points per outing. The senior linebacker collected seven solo defensive stops on the day and his four sacks led to 27 yards of loss for the MSU offense. He matched the school record of four quarterback drops in one game previously set by Jason Simmons against Washington State in 1991, which is tied for the third-highest sack total in Big Ten history. Carpenter currently leads the Big Ten and is tied for second in the country with eight sacks on the season. He picks up his first career weekly award. <!-- STORY AD BEGINS HERE -->

CO-SPECIAL TEAMS:
Steve Breaston, Michigan, SR, KR/PR, North Braddock, Pa./Woodland Hills
Breaston totaled 156 return yards and broke loose for a 41-yard kickoff return with 58 seconds left to set up Michigan's last-second game-winning drive over Penn State. The senior wideout posted two more big returns in the final quarter. After the visitors took an 18-10 lead, his 39-yard kickoff return to the Michigan 45-yard line set the Wolverines up for the game-tying drive and his 23-yard punt return later in the quarter to the UM 42-yard line set up the drive that led to a go-ahead field goal. For the game, Breaston returned four kickoffs for 128 yards (32.0 avg.) and two punts for 28 yards (14.0 avg.). This marks his second career weekly laurel, as he was previously honored for his special teams performance on Nov. 13, 2004.
Ashton Youboty, Ohio State, JR, CB, Klein, Texas/Klein
Youboty returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown and later knocked down another field goal attempt to boost Ohio State to a victory over Michigan State. The junior cornerback, who also had six tackles and a sack in the game, picked up a blocked field goal at the end of the first half and sprinted 72 yards for a touchdown to cut the MSU lead to 17-14. Trailing 24-21 in the fourth quarter, Youboty was again involved in stopping a field goal attempt by blocking the kick on his own to set up an OSU scoring drive as the Buckeyes claimed a 28-24 lead they would not relinquish. He earns his first career player of the week award.

So proud...hard to believe that's the first award for both of them. Well-deserved.
Hope they use that as impetus to do even more next week. (Never satisfied, are we?  )

Congrats!
...is it a problem that when I read the thread title at first, I thought it meant Big Ten Prisoner of War?
