I missed week 1 with this, but each week I will pick 5-10 players (in no particular order) who deserve to be recognized for their individual performance.
Denard Robinson (QB, Michigan) - at Notre Dame. 24/40 244 yards, 1 TD, 28 rushes, 258 yards, 2 TDs. How does he follow up his 383 all-purpose yard, 2 TD performance against UConn? He accounts for 94% of Michigan's total offense in his first road start. In Vince Young and Time Tebow best games, they had 84% of the offense. Robinson is leading the nation in rushing with 455 yards. And more importantly for Michigan, the offense has yet to turn the ball over under his leadership.
Ahmad Black (S, Florida) - vs South Florida. 8 tackles, 2 ints. The safety had a big day as Florida bounced back this week. One interception was at the end of the half, and the other interception set up a Florida touchdown. Black is tied for first in the nation with three picks.
Jermaine Kearse (WR, Washington) - vs Syracuse. 9 catches, 179 yards, 3 TDs. Kearse had a big performance against Syracuse and is averaging just over 20 yards per catch on the season.
LaMichael James (RB, Oregon) - at Tennessee. 16 carries, 134 yards, 1 TD. After sitting out the first game, James dominated Tennessee's defense averaging 8.4 yards per carry. Oregon's backfield seems unstopped with James and Barner.
Colin Kaepernick (QB, Nevada) - vs Colorado State. 21/29 241 yards, 2 TDs, 11 rushes, 161 yards, 2 TDs. Through 2 games, Kaepernick has 8 total TDs (4 passing, 4 rushing) and has yet to turn the ball over. He has also completed 71% of his passes. He may just be the best player in the conference that doesn't play for Boise State.
Conner Vernon (WR, Duke) - at Wake Forest. 8 catches, 181 yards, 2 TDs. Even though Duke lost, Vernon had two touchdowns and is now over 300 yards receiving on the season after just two games. He is leading the nation with 310 yards receiving.
Dominique Davis (QB, East Carolina) - vs Memphis. 27/38 244 yards, 3 TDs, 13 rushes, 10 yards, 2 TDs. Davis leads the nation in total touchdowns with 11 (8 passing, 3 rushing).
Diondre Borel (QB, Utah State) - vs Idaho State. 21/26 255 yards, 1 TD, 9 rushes, 28 yards, 1 TD. Borel completed 80% of his passes. Utah State is going to continue to turn heads this year.
