Article By: Welcome back to this edition of the Wild Wild Mountain West Conference, and below are your weekly awards winners!
Offensive Performance of the Block
Cameron Barfield - Hawaii
His second honors of the season, Cam ran for 220+ yards and 3 TDS in an upset with vs. San Diego State in week 6.
Defensive Performance of the Block
KC Beard and Damian Ward - Air Force
Both Air Force defensemen recored an INT and TD in their 27-14 win over Wyoming. Sometimes your best offense is your defense.
Special Teams Performance of the Block
Jonah Dalmas - Boise State
a 55 yarder vs. WSU, IN THIS ECONOMY?
MWC Games of the Week - Block 4
Utah State vs. UNLV - The conference is wide open, and after CleveNole's big win against Utah last sunday, this game could be an early game the propels either team into conference title contention. UNLV is early in their campaign, but I expect them to be big player in this conference down the stretch.
Meaningless Prediction - Utah State 30 UNLV 23
Penn St. vs San Diego State - An awkward Week 8 non-con game, but I am curious to see this one. The Aztecs got off to a hot start and knocked off Texas early on, and I wonder if they can repeat that performance and stay on their current run. I am not sure they can, as Penn State's defense has been too much this season.
Meaningless Prediction - Penn State 27 San Diego State 13
