Do not look now college football fans, but the 2022 college football season is quickly approaching the regular season conclusion. Coming out of Week 11, we are just under two weeks away from Rivalry Weekend with Championship Weekend quickly to follow.

In the B1G, the race for the B1G Championship Game in Indianapolis is still up for grabs. The B1G West features a 4-team logjam heading into Week 12 while the B1G East will once again come down to Michigan vs. Ohio State in Week 13.

Coming out of Week 11, these are the standout players from around the conference as announced by the B1G Monday morning:

Offensive Player of the Week

  • QB CJ Stroud, Ohio State

In Ohio State’s win over Indiana, Stroud threw for 297 yards and 5 touchdowns on an efficient 17-of-28 passing. Stroud eclipsed 7,000 yards for his career in the game, making him the 4th Buckeye QB to reach that plateau.

Defensive Player of the Week

  • LB Cal Haladay, Michigan State

Haladay set a new career-high mark with 19 total tackles in the win over Rutgers. He improved his tackles per game total to 9.9 with Haladay’s 19 stops the most in a game for a Spartan since 2004.

Special Teams Player of the Week

Pinegar went 3-for-3 on field goals, including a 50-yard kick to tie his career-long and another from 46 yards. Finished Penn State’s win over Maryland with 12 total points, moving Pinegar past Saquon Barkley for 2nd place on Penn State’s all-time points list.
