CO-OFFENSIVE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Brown senior quarterback Kyle Newhall-Caballero
(Gilbert, Ariz.) made a triumphant return to the Bears' lineup
against Stony Brook, going 22-of-37 for 292 yards and three
touchdowns, after missing the last seven games of 2010 with a
broken wrist. With Brown trailing 20-14 late in the fourth quarter,
Newhall-Caballero engineered a 57-yard scoring drive, capped off by
a 12-yard touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Tellef
Lundevall with 3:06 remaining to give Brown a 21-20
come-from-behind victory.
Yale junior quarterback Patrick Witt (Atlanta,
Ga.) was responsible for four touchdowns (three passing, one
rushing) in the Bulldogs' 37-27 win over Georgetown. Witt led Yale
to points in each quarter of the game, connecting through the air
with junior running back Mordecai Cargill in the
first and junior wide receiver Chris Smith in the
second and third stanzas. He added a four-yard score on the ground
in the fourth.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dartmouth sophomore linebacker Bronson Green (Los
Angeles, Calif.) tied for team-high honors with 11 tackles in the
Big Green's 37-20 victory over Colgate. Seven of Green's stops were
solo and twice he came up with key third-down stops. He pounced on
a fumble at the Dartmouth 14-yard line to put a serious damper on a
Colgate comeback. Green finished off his day by stuffing
Gavin McCarney a yard shy of a first down inside
the five, turning the ball over on downs with 11 seconds to
play.
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dartmouth senior placekicker Foley Schmidt (Inver
Grove Heights, Minn.) set personal highs with three field goals and
a total of 13 points to help Dartmouth defeat Colgate. At the
outset of the second quarter, Schmidt was summoned to break the 7-7
deadlock with a 41-yard field goal, which easily cleared the
crossbar. He added a 32-yarder before the half ended, giving the
Big Green a 13-7 lead at the break. When Dartmouth returned for the
second half, it was Schmidt once again who provided a three-point
conversion, nailing another one from 41 yards out. In addition, he
converted all four of his PATs.
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Princeton freshman running back Chuck Dibilio
(Nazareth, Pa.) led the Tigers in both rushing attempts (14) and
yards (86), 58 in the first half, in a 34-22 loss to Lehigh.
Dibilio scored the team's first offensive touchdown of the season
on a 26-yard reception, a play that got Princeton to within five
points of the No. 16 Mountain Hawks.
