College football Players of the Week

Offense - Jeff Demps, RB, Florida

Demps rushed for 126 yards on 10 carries and epitomized the speed-kills mentality of Florida's offense in the Gators' 51-21 destruction of the defending national champion Saturday in The Swamp. Demps has plenty of help, too. Chris Rainey and Percy Harvin were great as Urban Meyer's offense finally looked like Urban Meyer's offense is supposed to.

Defense - Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas

I don't know how many times I've gotta say it before y'all listen. Brian Orakpo is a fur-and-teeth-bearing, fourth-grader-devouring, fully-grown man-beast. He had two sacks against Oklahoma in Saturday's Red River Shootout, which gives him seven this season. He's the headliner of a Texas front seven that has been eating opposing quarterbacks alive through the first half of the season.
