Nehemiah Brunson Jr. Tops All Others This Week
Starting off the list is Army-Navy's Nehemiah Brunson Jr., who we judged to be the best player in the league this week. On Friday Brunson Jr. threw for 248 yards and three touchdowns while completing 75% of his passes, and also rushed for 68 yards. The effort marked the most rushing yards he has had since back in October of 2023.
For the season, Brunson Jr. has thrown 4 touchdowns while averaging 33.1 passing yards per game.
Gamescore: 47.68
Landon Schrom put up the most rushing yards he's had since back in September of 2023 on Friday. He made seven total tackles (1.0 for loss).
On the season, Schrom has averaged 6.8 total tackles per game. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he had three receiving touchdowns. This year he is already up to nine.
Gamescore: 38.93
Tua Posts Huge Game in 45-0 Win
Another Army-Navy player making an appearance on this list is Jonah Tua. He picked up two sacks and made five total tackles.
For the season, Tua has averaged 6.1 total tackles per game and for the season has 13 sacks. That doesn't tell the whole story though: at this point last year, he was only averaging 9.25 rushing yards per game. This year he is averaging 14.88 rushing yards.
