Coach Neal Brown spoke to the media on Monday. During the press conference, he named the offensive, defensive and special teams players of the week. He also announced a new award called the blue-collar award and that’s given to someone who works hard behind the scenes and doesn’t necessarily show up on the stat sheet.

Not a tough call, with Leddie getting 123 rushing yards to go with two scores on the ground and one receiving. It was a big day for the Mountaineer rushing attack overall, so it made sense to give it to the running back who led the way.
Offensive Lineman of the Week – Mike Brown
The offensive line play was infinity better when compared to the beginning of the 2019 season. Mike Brown graded out at 87% and was the highest of all Mountaineer linemen.
Defensive Player of the Week – Tony Fields II
NB on Tony Fields:
"These next two weeks are big.. continue to get him conditioned to play, continued confidence.. I think his week and next are going to be big fo him without a doubt"

The Arizona transfer led the team in tackles and Brown mentioned him “flying around” on defense.
