NCAA Football Betting Lines

09/06/2010 - Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Appalachian State quarterback DeAndre Presley, Gardner-Webb linebacker Jeffery Williams, Southern special teams performer Corey Cushingberry and Northern Arizona running back Zach Bauman have been named The Sportsbook Betting Lines/Fathead.com FCS National Players of the Week for the season-opening games which ended Sept. 5.

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

DeAndre Presley, Appalachian State, Junior, 5-11, 170, QB, Tampa, FL

Following the legendary Armanti Edwards as Appalachian State's No. 1 quarterback hasn't fazed Presley, who was scintillating in his season debut. He engineered a 42-41 comeback victory over Chattanooga. The third-ranked Mountaineers trailed 28-7 late in the third quarter before Presley guided the offense to 253 yards and five touchdowns in the final 17:29 of the game. Overall, he completed 22-of-29 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns, rushed for 25 yards and two touchdowns, and was credited with a touchdown reception by picking up wide receiver Matt Cline's fumble and weaving 33 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 6:05 left

DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Jeffery Williams, Gardner-Webb, Senior, 6-0, 222, LB, Frisco City, AL

Injuries limited Williams last season, but the 2008 Big South Conference Defensive Player of the Week demonstrated in Gardner-Webb's season opener against Brevard that he is back at full strength. The hard-hitting linebacker collected 18 tackles, including nine solos, in a 28-14 victory. The Runnin' Bulldogs defense was on the field for 37 minutes, 18 seconds against Brevard's triple-option attack and Williams seemed to be everywhere. He had two tackles for loss, including a half-sack, and intercepted a pass to end a 12-play drive in Gardner-Webb territory. Williams became the eighth player in Big South history to surpass 300 career tackles, upping his total to 304.

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Corey Cushingberry, Southern, R-Senior, 5-9, 175, WR/RS, Baton Rouge, LA

Southern trailed Delaware State throughout the second half of the MEAC/SWAC Challenge until Cushingberry's clutch punt return late in the game. He returned the punt 64 yards for a touchdown to erase Southern's 27-23 deficit. The Jaguars went on to give the SWAC its second win in the sixth annual game between conferences of the Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Cushingberry finished with 175 all-purpose yards, returning two punts for 71 yards and five kickoffs for 104 yards.

FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK

Zach Bauman, Northern Arizona, Freshman, 5-10, 200, RB, Chandler, AR

A true freshman, Bauman made it look easy in his first collegiate game, rushing for 167 yards and four touchdowns on 22 carries as Northern Arizona beat Western New Mexico, 48-0. He scored three times in the first half and then raced for a 66-yard touchdown in the third quarter, giving him an FCS- leading 24 points after the first week of action. Most of the preseason focus was on All-America quarterback Michael Herrick, but Bauman's emergence will help keep defenses honest. Bauman played for two state championship teams at Hamilton High in Chandler, Ariz.
