Woods Named Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week

SAN FRANCISCO--Freshman Trevor Woods was named the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance in the Colorado Buffaloes 34-0 win over Arizona Saturday, voted on by media from around the league.

Woods came up with a crucial block of an Arizona punt midway through the third quarter, a play that proved to be a turning point even though the Buffs were up 6-0 at that point. Woods returned the punt 54 yards for a touchdown to make the game 13-0.

On the next possession, Carson Wells returned an interception for a touchdown, and then on the subsequent offensive possession, Brendon Lewis found Brenden Rice for a 62-yard touchdown to turn that 6-0 lead into a 27-0 lead in just over five minutes of game time.
