Hiller wins Offensive, West Special Teams. Seems like West didn't deserve special teams honors, but definitely deserved Offensive. I'd have like to see Hiller and West split Co-Offensive POTW and West also win Special Teams POTW.
Quote:OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Tim Hiller, QB, Western Michigan
Sophomore - Orrville, Ohio (Orrville HS)
Hiller passed for 367 yards and three TDs without an interception in a 28-19 win at Big Ten member Iowa. Hiller completed 26 of 45 attempts (57.8 percent) against a defense that is allowing just 229 passing yards per game this season. Hiller connected with seven different receivers and his efficiency rating for the day was 148.28. Hiller received a helmet sticker for his performance from ESPN’s College Game Day Final. The win helped the Broncos snap a three-game losing streak and give the MAC its second win against a Big Ten opponent this year and the league’s only win vs. a bowl eligible team from a conference with an automatic BCS bowl bid.
