Maryland had some guys have nice games – Chris Turner, Dave Philistin and Moise Fokou all come to mind, as does Davin Meggett in the rookie category. Someone else in the league just happened to better at each position this week.
But since I’m not above tossing a little red meat to the fans, here’s a bit of meaningless trivia: Boston College, Maryland and Virginia are the only schools in the league without at least one honoree in the first three weeks.
