Offensive Player of the Week – James Owens, RB, Florida A&M – On 11 carries he had three touchdowns and 157 yards, and all this came against a Hampton team that’s not normally a weakling and brought back much of last year’s defense. Runner-ups Nico Flores (QB, Norfolk State) and Terrence LeFall (RB, Howard). Defensive Player of the Week – Olusegun Ayanbiola, DE, Delaware State – Forced two fumbles against an FBS team in Cincinnati, broke up a pass and recorded four tackles, one for loss. That’s a big game. When it keeps a game close against a nationally-prominent opponent it’s award winning. Runner-ups Brandon Hepburn (LB, FAMU) and Makari Pugh (DB, NCAT)
Special Teams – David Julien, DB, Howard – Blocked the extra point in overtime to give Howard a 37-36 overtime win over Norfolk State. Also forced Xavier Boyce’s fumble in the first quarter. Runner-ups Rodney Tyson (WR, Howard) and Zack Cimaglia (K, NCAT)
At the quarter poll – It’s never too early to look at MEAC postseason awards is it? Yes, it probably is, but that’s never stopped me.
