Toledo's Players of the Week (vs. Miss. St.)

The official website announced that Coach Toledo named his players of the week. They include:

Offense: WR Jeremy Williams (4 catches for 85 yards)
Defense: LB James Dillard (16 tackles, 10 solo)
Special Teams: K/P Ross Thevenot (40.9-yard avg. on seven punts, 3/3 on PAT's)

I agree with all of these. As I said in an earlier post, Forte was clearly the go-to guy and the most valuable player on either team in the first half. but his play in the second half combined with his two fumbles really put a damper on his performance. Williams showed he can be counted on for one or two big plays per game, and I agree with the Dillard selection as well. None of the kick returners had particularly good games, so Thevenot gets selected by default.

What was up with the punt formation? It seemed like Thevenot was taking forever to punt the ball and it looked like every single one was about to be blocked.
