Nate Scott, Wyoming, RB, Junior (MWC Offensive Player of the Week) The fleet footed running of Nate Scott led Wyoming to a 31-10 victory over Central Michigan. The Weed, Calif., native's two touchdown runs included a Mountain West Conference and Wyoming school record 95-yard gallop. In compiling the highest rushing output by a Cowboy in six years, Scott averaged 9.6 yards per carry and accounted for 192 of Wyoming's 311 rushing yards. Rick Crowell, Colorado State, LB, Senior (MWC Defensive Player of the Week) Crowell turned in a career performance with a 19-tackle, 16 solo stop, effort in Colorado State's 13-10 defeat at Arizona State. Crowell made his presence felt behind the line of scrimmage with a sack and tackle for loss, for minus 26 yards. In two starts this season the Chula Vista, Calif., native has tallied 30 tackles.
