Published:
It’s that time of the week again when College GameDay’s Kirk Herbstreit unveils his top teams, coaches, and players from the last week of action.
Herbstreit started out by naming his top players from Week 3 and the B1G was once again well represented.
My top performing players from WEEK 3:
1- Jake Haener, @FresnoStateFB
2- Sean Clifford, @PennStateFball
3- TreVeyon Henderson, @OhioStateFB
4- Jaxson Dart, @USC_FB
5- Josh Downs/Ty Chandler, @UNCFootball

Sean Clifford had a stellar performance against Auburn on Saturday night as he almost had a perfect passer rating. He finished with 28 completions on 32 attempts with 280 yards passing and 2 touchdowns. It got the Nittany Lions to 3-0 on the season going into their Week 4 matchup against Villanova.
TreVeyon Henderson had his best game yet as a Buckeye against Tulsa. He had 24 rushes for 277 yards and 3 touchdowns, plus averaged over 11 yards a carry.
Herbstreit then went on to tweet out his top teams after Week 3 and the B1G was represented well there, too.

As discussed earlier, Penn State got the win against Auburn, but Michigan State was able to go down to Miami and upset the Hurricanes and get to 3-0. It was a convincing performance for Mel Tucker’s squad as he’s been trying to get the program back since he got there.
Finally, Herbstreit’s top coaches list came out and both Mel Tucker and Joe Rossi made it from the B1G.

1- Kalani Sitake, @BYUfootball
2- Dave Clawson, @WakeFB
3- Donte Williams, @USC_FB
4- Dan Mullen, @GatorsFB
5- Mel Tucker, @MSU_Football
6- Joe Rossi, @GopherFootball pic.twitter.com/KnDC9p75kb— Kirk Herbstreit (@KirkHerbstreit) September 20, 2021
Rossi did a phenomenal job with the Golden Gophers defense after they traveled to Colorado and shut the Buffaloes out.
There’s plenty of great actions around the B1G coming this weekend for Week 4 so we’ll have to see if the conference can get onto these lists again next week.
