Denard Robinson and LaMichael James may have a permanent spot here if they keep playing this well. 3 helmet stickers in 4 games is not bad at all.
Robert Griffin (QB, Baylor) - vs Kansas. 26/36, 380 yards, 3 TDs, 8 carries, 64 yards, 1 TD. This game was 48-7 midway through the third quarter. Griffin is having a great year as a sophomore after his disappointing season ending injury early last year. Baylor is off to a great start and will make some noise in the Big 12 with Griffin.
Denard Robinson 3 (QB, Michigan) - at Indiana. 10/16, 277 yards, 3 TDs, 19 carries, 217 yards, 2 TDs. What can you even say about this guy anymore? Just an incredible athlete. He's on track to be a legitimate Heisman candidate. His passer rating was 269.80 this week, his highest of the season.
DeMarco Murray (RB, Oklahoma) - vs Texas. 25 carries, 115 yards, 2 TDs, 4 catches, 31 yards. This was a big game and Murray gave the Sooners a couple touchdowns. Murray is having a decent senior year, and this is his third 100-yard game.
Jayron Hosley (CB, Virginia Tech) - at NC State. 6 tackles (5 solo), 3 INTs, 4 PBUs. Hosley is only a sophomore and has 4 picks in the last 2 games. He was all over the place against NC State, and he made an interception with 1:27 remaining just one play after Virginia Tech took the lead. He returned the interception to the 6 yard line, setting up the touchdown that put the game away.
Derrick Coleman (RB, UCLA) - vs Washington State. 15 carries, 185 yards, 3 TDs. It's not this guy. After getting a rough start, UCLA has won 3 in a row with a lot of help from a great pair in the backfield. Johnathan Franklin also deserves some credit here as he had 30 carries for 216 yards and 1 TD. This running game has been almost impossible to stop the last 3 games. We'll see how they do the next 3 against Cal, Oregon, and Arizona.
LaMichael James 3 (RB, Oregon) - vs Stanford. 31 carries, 257 yards, 3 TDs. James was the backbone of the Oregon offense as they came back against Stanford. He is only a sophomore but playing at a level above everyone else right now. In 4 games played, he has 712 yards and 7 touchdowns, and leading the nation in rushing yards by anyone who isn't a QB. He is also averaging 8.0 yards per carry, which is good enough for seventh in the nation.
Via Taua (RB, Nevada) - at UNLV. 19 carries, 188 yards, 3 TDs, 2 catches, 17 yards, 1 TD. Someone on Nevada besides Kaepernick played well enough to get some recognition. Taua has now had 4 straight 100-yard games rushing and has scored a touchdown in every game this year.
A.J. Green (WR, Georgia) - at Colorado. 7 catches, 119 yards, 2 TDs, 1 carry, 40 yards. Georgia is 1-4 for the first time since 1993, but A.J. Green is finally back and had a big impact in another losing effort on Saturday. He had one rush for 40 yards which sparked the offense when they were down 14-3 in the second quarter, then caught his first TD pass 4 plays later.
Bryant Moniz (QB, Hawaii) - vs Louisiana Tech. 42/58, 532 yards, 4 TDs, 9 carries, 49 yards. Moniz accounted for almost 600 yards of total offense in Hawaii's bi-yearly thrashing of Louisiana Tech at home. He should thank his top two WRs Kealoha Pilares and Greg Salas who had 217 yards and 197 yards and 2 touchdowns each.
