Players to Watch

Top performers from unranked teams

UTAH

ERIC WEDDLE, SS

Utes coach Kyle Whittingham says he builds his defensive game plan around the 6-foot, 200-pound Weddle. Last year Weddle limited Georgia Tech All-America wideout Calvin Johnson to two catches for 19 yards in the Emerald Bowl.

CENTRAL MICHIGAN
DAN BAZUIN, DE

A hard-nosed farm kid from McBain, Mich. (pop. 599), Bazuin is a relentless rusher who last year led the nation with 261/2 tackles for loss and was second in sacks, with 16. The 6'3" 269-pounder should go on the first day of next April's NFL draft.

NAVY
ROB CALDWELL, LB

The anchor of the Midshipmen's stout 3-4 defense, Caldwell piled up a team-high 140 tackles in 2005. "Rob plays the game smart," defensive coordinator Buddy Green says. "He studies so much tape that he rarely misses other teams' keys."

NEVADA
JEFF ROWE, QB
