Mountain West Connection Players of the Week: Week Zero
Football season is here! Week zero saw five Mountain West teams in action. The Mountain West went 3-2 in the opening week, and we got an idea of which teams might exceed expectations (Nevada) and which might be in for rebuild (Wyoming and Hawaii). Here are our top performers from the opening week.
Offensive Player of the Week
Doug Brumfield (UNLV)
It was an FCS game, but it looked like UNLV might be able to exceed expectations this fall. Doug Brumfield played an excellent game against Idaho State. Completing 21 of 25 passes for 356 yards and four touchdowns. If Brumfield can be consistent at quarterback, the Rebels might finish the season with a bowl performance.
Defensive Player of the Week
