Our Summary
Arizona State quarterback Trenton Sims has been named the Associated Press national player of the week for Week 10. Sims, stepping in for the injured Sam Leavitt, achieved a remarkable feat in the Big 12 by rushing for 228 yards and passing for 177 yards in a 24-19 victory over Iowa State. This performance made Sims the first Big 12 player since Vince Young in 2005 to surpass 200 yards rushing and 175 passing in a single game. His 88-yard touchdown run also set a new ASU quarterback record.
The runner-up for the week is North Carolina State running back Jayden "Duke" Scott, who rushed for a career-high 196 yards and scored a touchdown, leading the Wolfpack to a 48-36 upset win over Georgia Tech.
