LAS VEGAS - North Dakota State's Jackson Williams and Marion Moore were named Old Trapper Mountain West Football Players of the Week by the conference office Monday, Oct. 19, for their performances in NDSU's 31-17 win over Nevada.
Williams, a third-year wide receiver and return specialist from Omaha, Neb., was named Mountain West Special Teams Player of the Week after running for a career-high 251 all-purpose yards, a single-game high in the Mountain West this season. Williams scored on a 100-yard return of a missed field goal on the final play of the first half, averaged 25.0 yards on three kickoff returns, and fielded all four Nevada punts for an average starting spot of the NDSU 32. He also led the Bison with five receptions and 58 yards in the passing game.
Moore, a second-year cornerback from Madison, Wis., was named Mountain West Freshman of the Week. Moore intercepted two passes in the second half against Nevada and is now tied for third nationally with four interceptions this season. He made five tackles including two third-down stops. Moore has started 5 of 6 games this year for the No. 2 passing defense in the FBS (133.9 ypg).
North Dakota State (6-1, 3-1 MW) goes on the road this week to face first-place New Mexico (5-1, 2-0 MW) at University Stadium in Albuquerque. Game time is 8:10 p.m. MT (9:10 p.m. CT) with live television coverage on The CW.
