New Haven, Conn. - The Walter Camp Football Foundation has announced
its Bowl Championship Subdivision National Offensive and Defensive

About the Award: This is the sixth year that the Walter Camp Football
Foundation will honor one offensive and one defensive player as its
national Bowl Subdivision player of the week during the regular season.
Recipients are selected by a panel of national media members and
administered by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
TOBY GERHART, STANFORD
Senior, Running Back, Norco, CA/Norco
Stanford running back Toby Gerhart set a school single-game record with
223 rushing yards (on 38 carries) as the Cardinal defeated 7th-ranked
Oregon, 51-42. For the game, Gerhart scored three touchdowns as
Stanford (6-3, 5-2 in Pac 10) became bowl eligible for the first time
since 2001.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
CAMERON HEYWARD, OHIO STATE
Junior, Defensive Tackle, Suwanee, GA/Peachtree Ridge
Ohio State defensive tackle Cameron Heyward recorded a game-high 11

Heyward led an Ohio State (8-2, 5-1 in Big Ten) defensive unit that
allowed just 201 yards of total offense.
Walter Camp, “The Father of American football,” first selected an
All-America team in 1889. Camp - a former Yale University athlete and
football coach - is also credited with developing play from scrimmage,
set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the
restriction of play to eleven men per side. The Walter Camp Football
Foundation - a New Haven-based all-volunteer group - was founded in
1967 to perpetuate the ideals of Camp and to continue the tradition of
selecting annually an All-America team.
