B1G announces Players of the Week following Week 6 action
Published:
It was a busy week in the B1G, as 12 teams went head-to-head in six conference matchups on Saturday. Those games produced some tremendous individual performances.
There seemed to be an abundance of outstanding performers in the conference this week, making the conference’s job difficult in naming the Players of the Week for Week 6 action. But the decisions were made and four B1G players will earn the weekly award.
Here are your Week 6 B1G Players of the Week:
