OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Princeton junior quarterback Quinn Epperly(Knoxville, Tenn.) led the Tigers to 39 unanswered points in 39-17 comeback win at Brown. Epperly scored three rushing touchdowns to take over Ivy League lead in touchdowns scored and also completed 14-of-22 passes for 233 yards. He engineered a key scoring drive before halftime with crucial 24-yard completion on third and 18 from the Princeton four-yard-line. Epperly ranks second nationally in points responsible for per game at 24.4.

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Penn senior defensive back Evan Jackson (Hamden, Conn.) was the catalyst in the Quakers' dominating defensive effort in a 21-7 victory at Columbia. Jackson had the biggest play of the day with a fourth-quarter interception deep in Columbia territory that set up the game-clinching touchdown. He finished with a team-best five tackles, including a tackle for loss, and two pass breakups. Jackson paced a Penn defense that only allowed four first downs and 118 yards of total offense and did not allow a single third down conversion (0-for-13).

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Brown sophomore free safety Michael Walsh(Swampscott, Mass.) made the most of a special opportunity on special teams with a punt block return for a touchdown in the Bears' 39-17 loss to Princeton. On the first play of the second quarter, junior defensive back Jacob Supron burst through the line and blocked a punt at the Tigers' five-yard line. Walsh scooped up the ball at the 18-yard line and ran into the end zone for his first career touchdown.

ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Princeton freshman defensive back Dorian Williams(Streetsboro, Ohio) recorded a career-best and team high eight tackles in the Tigers' 39-17 victory at Brown. Williams ended Brown's longest drive of the second half when he forced a fumble as the Bears were just outside the red zone late in the third quarter with Princeton holding on to a 25-17 lead at the time.
