Offensive Player of the Week: WR Travis Hunter, Colorado Buffaloes

Hunter played 134 snaps overall in Week 9 and made his biggest impact as a wideout. He earned an 83.9 PFF receiving grade and averaged 17 yards per reception against Cincinnati. Hunter caught all nine of his targets for 153 yards and two touchdowns. This was on top of playing an additional 64 snaps on defense. His 86.1 PFF overall grade on offense was good enough for him to be named the Week 9 Offensive Player of the Week.

Defensive Player of the Week: CB D’Angelo Ponds, Indiana Hoosiers

The James Madison transfer had his best game yet for the Hoosiers, posting a 93.1 PFF overall grade. Ponds recorded two interceptions, one of which went for a pick-six, and three of his four tackles resulted in failures for the offense. He allowed only four yards in coverage, resulting in an elite 93.5 PFF coverage grade.

Offensive Line of the Week: Kansas State Wildcats

Kansas State’s offensive line helped keep the team in its 29-27 nail-biting win over Kansas, allowing quarterback Avery Johnson time to throw in crucial moments. The five-man unit allowed only one sack on 72 snaps to earn an elite 91.5 pass-blocking grade. Four of the Wildcat starters had perfect pass-blocking efficiency scores.
