PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The American Athletic Conference has announced the winners of the league’s weekly football honors for Week 10 of the college football season.


 
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Quinton Flowers • Sr. • QB • USF • Miami, Fla.
Flowers enjoyed the most productive day of his career to lead USF to a 37-20 win at UConn. He completed 24 of 37 passes for a career-high 385 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for a game-high 131 yards on 16 carries to finish with a school-record 516 yards of total offense. Flowers became the fourth player in American Athletic Conference history to surpass 500 yards of total offense in a game and he became the seventh player in NCAA FBS history to register 7,000 career passing yards and 3,000 career rushing yards. 


 
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Sharif Finch • Sr. • DE • Temple • Neptune, N.J.
Finch led a Temple defense that limited Navy to 362 yards of offense in a 34-26 win against the Midshipmen. Finch had a team-high nine tackles, including 2.0 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss as the Owls held Navy — the national leader in rushing yards entering the game — to 136 rushing yards, or 240 yards below its season average.


 
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Emilio Nadelman • Sr. • K • USF • Miami, Fla.
Nadelman scored 13 points, going 3-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs to help USF to a 37-20 win at UConn. Nadelman’s field goals were from 38, 25 and a career-long 51 yards.
