Our Gamebreakders for September 28-29.
Manny Bravo, Western Michigan
Bravo is the WMU hooker was superb on defense and led the forwards in a 24-17 defeat fo Bowling Green.
Terran Meek, Louisville
Meek came off the bench for Louisville and scored three tries as Louisville defeated IUPUI.
Mike Nettleton, Indiana
The IU was in the middle of the scoring for Indiana with a try, setting up a try, and adding to the goalkicking. His power running and his understanding of space is a big part of IU’s resurgence.]
Nick D’Angelo, West Chester
The WCU scrumhalf is the Rams’ sparkplug, elusive and intelligent and he helped keep West Chester firing as the Rams beat Rowan 29-22.
John George, Cincinnati
George scored three tries as the Bearcats defeated Dayton.
Jonathan Ahern, St. Joseph’s
The speedy, rangy back has been working nicely off flyhalf Noah Nuimataiwalu, and slicing up defenses in the MARC. This week it was West Virginia in the crosshairs.
With 2 men down, PSU’s Jesse Capriotti weaves his way down the sideline with GianCarlo Nastasi. Capriotti ends up scoring after the offload from Nastasi. Conversion no good. 23-18 PSU leads with 2 minutes remaining

Anthony Pugielese, Syracuse
A strong-minded leader on a team that is emerging as a serious Liberty Conference contender. In defeating Buffalo 41-10, the key to the Syracuse victory was being quick to the breakdown, and Pugielese, as openside flanker, and as captain, was critical to that effort.
Connor Robinson, Boston College
The BC hooker scored three tries as the Eagles beat Connecticut 50-3.
Matthew Mischler, Navy
The US Naval Academy flyhalf was 3-for-4 on conversions and added added two penalties in a Mid-South Conference game with Davenport. Navy won by ten.
Edward Schmidt, Maryland
The Terrapins were down 29-15 and stormed back to make it 32-27 with time almost up. That’s when Schmidt, who had already scored in the game, charged over for the game-tying try.
Mathew Waugh
The Cowboys’ scrumhalf was a tenacious leader of the Wyoming attack as his team beat New Mexico 33-12. Waugh was named player of the game.
