Offensive Player of the Week: QB Arch Manning, Texas Longhorns

Meeting expectations with the name “Manning” on the back of your jersey is a gargantuan task, but Arch did so in Week 5. Texas’ offense struggled early against Mississippi State, but Manning got them rolling with a career-high 335 passing yards on his way to a 94.2 PFF overall grade. He recorded three big-time throws to match his three touchdowns in the game.

There may not be a quarterback controversy in Austin quite yet, but Longhorns fans know that that position is in good hands no matter who the starter is. 

Defensive Player of the Week: LB Stanquan Clark, Louisville Cardinals

It feels like a new player steps up each week for the Cardinals' stout defense. Middle linebacker Stanquan Clark finished with an elite 96.4 PFF run-defense grade against Notre Dame after notching seven tackles, two pressures and a forced fumble.

Offensive Line of the Week: Duke Blue Devils

Duke was down 20-0 before storming back to take down rival North Carolina, 21-20. Their offensive line ultimately kept them in it, giving the run game life with a 93.7 PFF run-blocking grade. That was the highest mark among all Power Four teams in Week 5.
