Nebraska Silences Critics With 55-7 Win Over Washington - Page 3

Some strange things happened in the Grid Guessers contest. Gary Pekarek returned to the contest after a two-week absence from the contest to post a 5-0 week, but it wasn't enough to dethrone current leader Jeff Frankeny. Jeff also went 5-0 on the week and now a an 18-6 record (.750), while Pekarek is in second with a 10-4 mark (.714). Pekarek is still eligible to win the contest provided he doesn't miss any other games.

Kim Johnson and Brian Anthony are tied for third with a 16-8 record (.667), followed by David E. Brown at 12-7 (.631), Eric Nichols at 14-10 (.583), and Shawn Taylor at 12-12 (.500). Hopefully, everyone will be back healthy next week and ready to make their predictions on the following contests:

LSU over GEORGIA
PENN STATE over OHIO STATE
ARIZONA over WASHINGTON
TENNESSEE over AUBURN
MIAMI (Oh) over MARSHALL

PLAYER OF THE WEEK - Despite the amazing individual performances from DeAngelo Evans, Michael Bishop, Doug Johnson and others, this week's game ball goes to Texas running back Ricky Williams. Williams took the frontrunner spot in the Heisman Race with an amazing performance against Rice this weekend. Williams scored six touchdowns and ran for 318 yards on 30 carries after being held to 43 yards the previous week against Kansas State. After the game, Williams told reporters "I wanted to show everyone that last week was a fluke."
