Middle Tennessee's I'Tavius Mathers and Shaquille Huff were both named Conference USA Players of the Week as announced by the league office on Monday. Mathers was the Offensive winner and Huff brought home the Defensive award. It's the first honor for both players.
Mathers played a major role in a dominating performance during Middle Tennessee's 41-21 win at Bowling Green Saturday. The senior scored four total touchdowns (three rushing, one receiving) and became just the second MT football player ever to amass 100-plus yards rushing and receiving in the same game. He also became the first player in NCAA Division I football to accomplish it this season.
