Many Caste victims go unappreciated and underplayed. Here I will recognize two guys from each side the ball that made a great impact on their team winning this weekend and pulling big upsets.

Offensive Stud of the Week 9/29 Goes to......

#27 Jordy Nelson WR Kansas State

When KSU needed a big play Jordy was the go to guy.

Defensive Stud of the Week 9/29 Goes to......
#59 Ben Moffitt LB South Florida

2 interceptions for 35 yards, and I saw would be pick 3 get dropped in the 3rd quarter (we forgive you Ben) and he returned one of his picks 26 yards for the TD.

Ben is an all around stand up guy, husband, and father.
Great story never told.

QB Matt Flynn named SEC offensive player of the week

October 23, 2007

BATON ROUGE â€â€￾ LSU quarterback Matt Flynn was rewarded Monday for the greatest game of his life so far. The Southeastern Conference named Flynn its offensive player of the week after the fifth-year senior from Tyler, Texas, collected career highs in completions with 22 in 34 attempts and yards with 319 and tied a career high with three touchdown passes in the Tigers' 30-24 victory over Auburn Saturday.

Flynn drove LSU 58 yards in nine plays in the final minutes for the victory. He hit wide receiver Demetrius Byrd on a 22-yard touchdown with one second to play for the victory. He also rushed 10 times for 53 yards, including two scrambles for 17 yards on the last drive.


The game came a week after Flynn was criticized by media, fans and coach Les Miles after the Tigers' loss at Kentucky. Flynn completed 17 of 35 passes in that game but underthrew an open Brandon LaFell for an interception and missed on several other passes. Miles said on the Monday after the game that backup quarterback Ryan Perrilloux would starting throwing more in practice and in games.

Flynn came into the Auburn game as the No. 93 ranked quarterback in the nation in passing efficiency with a 110.3 rating. A week later, Flynn has risen to 71st in the nation in passing efficiency at 120.4. He has completed 106 of 190 passes for 1,266 yards and eight touchdowns with five interceptions. Despite the advertisement, Perrilloux threw only one pass against Auburn.

"I never listened to anyone but my coaches and teammates," said Flynn, who has fought off an ankle injury suffered in the second game of the season. "It was frustrating at times, but I didn't let it get to me. We struggled in the first half of this game (down 17-7), but I said to the team at halftime, 'Let's end this right here. Let's show people what our offense is in this half.'"

LSU scored on five of six possessions in the second half to erase the 10-point deficit against a defense that came into the game No. 2 in the SEC in total defense and in scoring defense.
