[Col Hogan]

Offensive Player of the Week - Pat Devlin, QB, Delaware
Devlin earned CAA Football Offensive Player of the Week honors after registering a career-high 329 yards passing by completing 21-of-31 attempts in Delaware’s 27-17 win on the road over Maine. The Downingtown, Pa., native helped the Blue Hens garner 512 yards of total offense in the contest, marking the most in a single-game for Delaware since the 2007 season. Devlin, who also rushed six times for 21 yards, completed the 10th-longest pass in school history when he hooked up with Mark Duncan on a 79-yard touchdown toss in the first quarter.

Defensive Player of the Week - Deron Mayo, DL, Hofstra
Mayo, the CAA Football Defensive Player of the Week, played a vital role in Hofstra’s upset win over No. 7 James Madison, 24-17, Saturday in Hempstead, N.Y. Mayo, a Hampton, Va., native made nine total tackles including a team-best six solo stops in the victory. The junior posted three tackles for a loss of 15 yards and had a sack for eight yards midway through the fourth quarter which helped preserve a 21-17 Hofstra lead. Mayo and the Pride defense limited the Dukes to just 192 total yards of offense, and only 56 through the air.

Special Teams Player of the Week - Sean Jellison, KR, New Hampshire
Jellison, the CAA Football Special Teams Player of the Week, notched a special teams touchdown in No. 6 New Hampshire’s 57-7 win at Towson Saturday. The Amherst, N.H., native returned a Towson free-kick 81 yards to paydirt midway through the first quarter against the Tigers. The junior also carried the ball nine times for 46 yards in the Wildcats’ offensive attack. Jellison currently leads the league in touchdowns with five and is third overall in scoring with 32 points through four games.

Rookie of the Week - David Hayes, RB, Delaware
Hayes earned Rookie of the Week honors after helping Delaware to a 27-17 win at Maine Saturday. The Howell, N.J., native carried the ball 17 times for 106 yards and a score for the Blue Hens. Hayes’ 100-yard rushing game was the first for the Blue Hens this season, and helped Delaware rebound from a -2 yard rushing performance a week earlier. Hayes, who also made five catches for 49 yards, scored on a 25-yard run with just under four minutes left in the game to seal the Delaware win.

I know we're technically not part of the CAA yet, but can I give a shout out to Jonathan Plisco and Edmon McClam of ODU. Plisco punted 10 times against Fordham and averaged 49.2 yds/punt (the kid is accurate too). He's also ranked 3rd in the nation for yds/punt. As for McClam, he got his 5th PAT block in his 5th game...a new FCS record, and two shy of Tim Hauck's (Montana) career record. Ridiculous.
