OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Kaleb Barker, Troy (Sr., QB, Decatur, Ala.)
Troy senior quarterback Kaleb Barker threw for a school-record 504 yards and tied a career-high with four touchdown passes in the Trojans' game against Southern Miss. The 504 yards were the fourth most in a game in Sun Belt Conference history. Barker extended his streak of pass attempts without an interception to 140 in the process.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Rashad Byrd, Georgia Southern (Sr., LB, North Augusta, S.C.)
Georgia Southern junior linebacker Rashad Byrd led a stout Eagle defense against the high-flying Golden Gopher attack with a team-high 11 total tackles. The senior captain's sack, forced fumble, fumble recovery and subsequent 44-yard touchdown return gave the Eagles the lead with under four minutes to go. He received a 91.2 grade from Pro Football Focus, the highest by five points of any Sun Belt defender for the week. His 98.0 grade on pass rush defense was 21 points higher than the next highest SBC defender for the week.

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Monquavion Brinson, Georgia Southern (Sr., DB, Atlanta, Ga.)
Georgia Southern senior defensive back Monquavion Brinson had a spectacular 77-yard touchdown return on a blocked field goal by redshirt sophomore linebacker Reynard Ellis. Brinson started down the near sideline, back-tracking and beating all 11 Gopher defenders to the edge to take the return down the far sideline and bring the Eagles within two midway through the fourth quarter.
