Offensive Player of the Week
Andrew Huck (BUT)
Huck followed disastrous first half with a remarkable second frame and led Butler to a 28-21 overtime victory at Morehead State, Saturday. Huck’s first half was forgettable as he completed 10-of-24 passes for 65 yards and threw three interceptions. However, he recovered to lead the come-from-behind effort with a 16-of-25, 143-yard, four-touchdown second half performance. His 22-yard touchdown on the second play of overtime gave Butler its first lead of the game. Huck finished the game completing 26-of-49 passes for 208 yards. It is his third “Offensive Player of the Week” citation this season.
Defensive Player of the Week
Derek Harkness (MOR)
Harkness made Huck’s life miserable in the first half, intercepting a PFL record tying three passes and returned one for a touchdown in Morehead State’s 21-28 overtime loss, Saturday. Harkness’ returned his first interception 63 yards for a touchdown to give Morehead State a 14-0 lead. His second interception stopped Butler’s ensuing drive at the Morehead State six-yard line. He completed the trifecta with a pick in the opening moments of the second quarter. Harkness also was credited with two pass breakups for a total of five passes defensed. He is the third FCS player to record three interceptions in a game this season.
Special Teams Player of the Week
Jaquan Bryant (MAR)
Bryant returned two kickoffs for 84 yards, including a 73-yard dash to set up a Marist touchdown in its 17-16 loss at Bucknell, Saturday. His 73-yard return came after Bucknell took a 17-10 lead and set the Red Foxes offense up at the 17-yard line where they scored a touchdown three plays later. However, the potential game-tying extra-point attempt blocked, setting up the final score.
