Colorado Springs, Colo.‹ Kevin Feterik (BYU), Jared Lee (BYU) and Dallas Davis (Colorado State) were named Mountain West Conference Players of the Week for their performances on the football field last week. This is the first MWC honor for Lee and Davis, while Feterik earns the award for a league-high third time.
Kevin Feterik, BYU, QB, Senior (MWC Offensive Player of the Week)
Kevin Feterik completed 24-of-33 pass attempts (73%) for a game-high 336 yards in BYU's 27-20 victory over Air Force last Saturday to remain undefeated and in first place in conference play. Feterik threw for two touchdowns, including a season-long 57-yard pass to junior Margin Hooks with 10:18 to play in the game. The touchdown proved to be the game-winner. Feterik started the game 14-of-15 for 188 yards and a touchdown, including a streak of seven straight completions. Feterik earned player of the week honors in consecutive weeks on Sept. 13 and Sept. 20.
Jared Lee, BYU, S, Junior (MWC Defensive Player of the Week)
Jared Lee collected a career-high 22 tackles, 11 unassisted, in BYU's 27-20 victory against Air Force last Saturday. Lee also recovered a fumble at the Cougars' 20-yard line which stopped a 71-yard drive by the Falcons on their second possession of the game. Lee helped the Cougars hold the Air Force offense to 253 yards on the ground, nearly 40 yards under its season average. Lee's 22 tackles were one shy of the conference's single-game record of 23 held by CSU¹s Ula Tuitele.
Dallas Davis, Colorado State, PR/WR, Junior (MWC Special Teams Player of the Week)
Dallas Davis' performance against Utah last Thursday in front of a national television audience on ESPN ranks as one of the greatest in CSU football history. He became the first player in school history to return two punts for touchdowns in one game with an 89-yard return in the first half and a 56-yard return in the fourth quarter to break a 24-24 tie and give the Rams a 31-24 victory over the Utes. He also set a school record with 214 punt return yards, 11 shy of the NCAA record, and tied the NCAA record with his two touchdowns. Davis is on pace to set a new single-season school record with his 16.7 yards per punt return average. He currently ranks fourth in the nation in that category.
Last week's recipients of the MWC football honors were: Utah's Darnell Arceneaux (offensive), Colorado State's Ula Tuitele (defensive) and BYU's Owen Pochman (special teams).
