Here are Saturday's players of the game. This week they were pretty obvious.
Offense: Redshirt freshman WR Casey Robottom - Who'd have thought Robottom, a redshirt freshman who'd never caught a pass before, would be the Green Wave's best player on Saturday? But that was certainly the case. Robottom proved to be a dangerous threat deep. He finished with four catches for 115 yards, and he beat his defender on virtually every play. Only RB Matt Forte had as many catches, and only WR Jeremy Williams was a distant second in receiving yardage with only 50 yards.
Defense: Junior FS David Skehan - Two interceptions will usually make you player of the game. He also had a pass break-up and six tackles. LB Evan Lee, last week's player of the week, had another double-digit tackle game with 12.
Special Teams: K/P Ross Thevenot Thevenot gets player of the week again by default. While he missed a 37-yard field goal early, he hit a 28-yard field goal and converted on his only extra-point attempt of the game. His punts were high and short, but the coverage team still looked tenative when the Cougars didn't call a fair catch. Kick returners Ade Tuyo and Ray Boudreaux didn't break any big returns.

In all honesty, Robottom's good game was the only saving grace in going to the Houston match. It was nice to see him excel against a team that is obviously stronger than Tulane and he showed that experience is not always everything. He went 100% and I really think he'll become one of the Green wave's more important assets in the near future.
