Players Of The Week

OFFENSE: Toledo Quarterback Gene Swick became the first college player ever to top 8,000 yards in total offense—he finished at 8,074—passing and running for 334 yards to lead the Rockets to a 33-28 victory over Kent State.

DEFENSE: Syracuse Linebacker Ray Preston was in on 22 tackles and twice thwarted PAT tries to save a 20-19 upset of West Virginia, first by intercepting a pass and, after a penalty nullified that play, stopping a last-ditch run.
