Nixon Ligouri Delivers Electric Effort Vs Fairbury
Starting off the list is Auburn's Nixon Ligouri, who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. Ligouri rushed for 141 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries.
Auburn pushed their record up to 6-1 with the victory, which was their eighth straight at home dating back to last season. Ligouri's next game is against Syracuse on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid performance.

Brant Gulizia Makes It Two for Auburn
Keeping Ligouri company is Brant Gulizia, a fellow Auburn player. His rushing production has been exceptional recently as that marked his third straight game with at least 100 rushing yards.
This season, Gulizia has averaged 9.6 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging two receiving yards per game. This year he is averaging 16.71 receiving yards.

A Season-Best Performance from Mason Lintz Leads Syracuse over Falls City
Syracuse was led to victory by Mason Lintz, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Friday. Lintz rushed for 157 yards and three touchdowns on only 11 carries, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.
The win was the third in a row for Syracuse, bringing their record for this year to 4-3. Lintz and Syracuse will face off against Auburn at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Cy Petersen Delivers Best Effort of Season
On Friday, Syracuse got the W thanks in part to Cy Petersen playing the best football he has all season. Petersen rushed for 146 yards and three touchdowns on only ten carries. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
Petersen must have Falls City's number; he was a force to be reckoned with the last time he faced them too. When Petersen last faced the Tigers back in September of 2023, he rushed for 116 yards and three touchdowns.
Gamescore: 43.20
A Constellation of Stars for Auburn
Another Auburn player making an appearance on this list is Camden Taylor. He rushed for 81 yards on only nine carries.
This season, Taylor has averaged 53.6 rushing yards per game. He's made a big improvement compared to last season: at this point last year, he was only averaging 2.14 rushing yards per game.
