Sophomore quarterback Anu Solomon completed 25-of-35 passes for 285 yards and four touchdowns to collect the Offensive Player of the Week honor.
Junior nose guard Sani Fuimaono was named to Defensive Player the Week as he stifled the Lumberjack ground attack in the middle to go with two tackles, his first career sack and a pass break up.
Senior place kicker Casey Skowron hauled in the Special Teams Player of the Week honor for his school record 10 made PATs on as many attempts. He also placed six of 10 kickoffs in the endzone for touchbacks.
Scout Team Player of the Week honors went to freshman receiver Cedric Peterson (offense), sophomore linebacker John Kenny (defense) and freshman safety Albert Green (special teams).
The team’s Hard Edge Player of the Week was senior quarterback Jerrard Randall, while sophomore linebacker RJ Morgan was named the Student of the Week. Junior Jake Matthews was recognized with the Community Service Award.
Oh and just for giggles, lets look at this year.

Well, there's some small differences. Anu was in the program for a year already when he started as a RS Freshman. Rosen just got on campus in the spring and is a true freshman. Then just take the schedule. Rosen faced tougher teams than Anu.
Anu's first 3
UNLV
UTSA
Nevada
Rosen's first 3
Virginia
UNLV
BYU
It's fun to talk about though, isn't it?

True, but FFS, ESPN was picking him in top 5 lists for Heisman candidates after 2 weeks. Clearly, he's going to go through growing pains. 3 picks, 2 of which were in the red-zone is pretty poor decision-making. He'll grow and get better I'd assume. We'll see how he handles conference play next week.
