LSC Scoop Week 10 Superlatives and Power Poll


Offensive - Jonathan Woodson, Texas A&M-Kingsville    Woodson was a one-man wrecking crew, piling up 343 all-purpose yards and scoring 4 TDs against Abilene Christian. Woodson opened the scoring with an 87 yard run in the first quarter giving the Javelinas an early lead.  He subsequently added TD runs of 24 and 80 and took a Daniel Ramirez pass 60 yards, each time bringing Texas A&M-Kingsville even with the Wildcats.  Woodson has surpassed the 200 yard mark in five consecutive games, averaging 272 yards per game over that period, and now has 2,167 yards for the season.

Defensive - Kevin Birdow, Midwestern State       Birdow helped Midwestern State keep the pressure on West Texas A&M QB Dustin Vaughn, getting both of the Mustangs' sacks, and three QB hurries.  That pressure was a big reason for Vaughn completing just 20 of 45 passes for 252 yards.  Both of Birdow's sacks came on third downs, forcing WT into punt situations, getting the ball back to the Mustang offense, and helping MSU to a huge time of possession advantage (41:21 to 18:39).

Special Teams - Kevin VanVoris, West Texas A&M    VanVoris did his part in helping WTAM with the field position battle against Midwestern State.  VanVoris boomed 4 of his 5 kickoffs for touchbacks, and averaged 43.3 yards on 7 punts, with only two returned, for a net average of 42.9 yards per punt.  Two punts pinned Midwestern State inside their own 5 yard line.
