It was a busy Week 6 around the B1G, and the league announced its Player of the Week awards Monday morning.
If it speaks to the performances we saw this week, there are 2 Offensive Players and Defensive Players of the Week. Even more impressive, one of the Freshmen of the Week is a Co-Offensive Player of the Week. Oh, and the Special Teams Player of the Week made a clutch field goal to win the game.
Here’s who brought home weekly honors:
