OFFENSE: Oklahoma State tailback Barry Sanders (left) set school rushing records with 304 yards and 33 carries and tied another with Jive touchdowns—he nearly had a sixth, but he fumbled as he crossed the goal line—in a 56-35 win over Tulsa .

DEFENSE: In Holy Cross's 35-20 victory over Harvard , Dave Murphy, a cornerback, had 16 tackles, 10 of them unassisted; broke up four passes; and had two interceptions. In three career games against the Crimson, Murphy has seven interceptions.

SPECIAL TEAMS: The only bright moments for UNLV in its 48-6 loss at Nebraska were provided by kicker Jim Cook , who tied his own school record for distance with a 53-yard field goal, then broke it with a 54-yarder less than seven minutes later.
