Week 10, November 16, 2009

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Penn senior quarterback KYLE OLSON (Los Alamitos, Calif.) had a stellar day in a driving rainstorm in the Quakers’ 17-7 win over Harvard to win a share of their first Ivy title in six seasons. Olson accounted for both of Penn's touchdowns, throwing for 159 yards and a touchdown on 14-of-24 passing, while also rushing for the game-winning touchdown in the second quarter. He led an offense that outgained the Ivy League's top offensive unit. Maybe most importantly, he did not turn the ball over once and was not sacked.


DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Penn senior linebacker JAKE LEWKO (Medford, N.J.) stepped up for maybe the best game of his career in the biggest game of his career in the Quakers’ win over Harvard. In holding the top scoring offense in the Ivy League to just seven points, Lewko recorded a career-high 15 tackles, six of those being solo stops and two were tackles for loss. He led a Quaker defense that forced two turnovers and held the League's top rushing unit to just 2.7 yards per rush.


SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Cornell senior wide receiver/return specialist BRYAN WALTERS (Bothell, Wash.) continued to pile on to his all-time school and Ivy League marks, collecting 260 more all-purpose yards in the Big Red's 30-20 Senior Day loss to Columbia. Walters was in the spotlight, catching a game-high six passes for 89 yards and two touchdowns. He also posted 122 kickoff return yards and 49 punt return yards in the contest. His touchdown catches of 12 and 32 yards helped the Big Red rally from a 13-point deficit in the first minute of the game to take the lead. By the end of the day, Walters had moved into fourth on Cornell's career receptions chart (142 catches) and surpassed 2,000 receiving yards (2,004), becoming the fourth Big Red player to hit that mark. He also increased his all-purpose yardage total to 5,689 (second all-time in Ivy history) and increased his Ivy record kickoff (2,715) and punt return yardage (970) totals.


ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Dartmouth freshman strong safety GARRETT WAGGONER (Sarasota, Fla.) posted a career-high nine tackles in the Big Green’s 14-7 overtime loss to Brown. Waggoner’s biggest contribution was streaking across the field on a Brown pass in the waning seconds of regulation to bat the ball away from a wide-open receiver near the goal line. Without his effort, Brown almost assuredly would have reached the end zone on the play for the win. Of his nine tackles, seven were solo with 0.5 tackles for loss along with two pass break-ups.
