Last week, I pointed out sophomore defensive lineman Ray Lima as the one to watch for this week. While his stats won’t blow you away, Lima was a major factor last week, consistently forcing Nic Shimonek to escape the pocket and make throws on the run, and bottling the Red Raiders running game. Lima will continue to be a major factor going forward, especially against a good TCU running game, but we can’t nominate every week for PTW.

The former walk-on turned all-around offensive weapon has been absolutely marvelous this season, compiling 318 yards on 26 receptions as a major part of a talented Cyclone receiving corp that has FIVE receivers over 200 yards on the season.
