Not surprising, but well deserved. Congrats, Mr. Helu.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska's Roy Helu (HEL-lou) Jr. has been named Walter Camp Football Foundation national offensive player of the week after running for a school-record 307 yards and three touchddowns in the Cornhuskers' win over Missouri.
It's the second straight week a Nebraska player has won the award. Last week quarterback Taylor Martinez was honored for his performance against Oklahoma State.

Helu scored on runs of 66, 73 and 53 yards as the Cornhuskers took control of the Big 12 North. Helu's rushing total is the most by an FBS player this season.

Connecticut linebacker Sio Moore is defensive player of the week after making 17 tackles in the Huskies' 16-13 overtime win over West Virginia on Friday.

When was the last time Nebraska had two offensive national player of the week honors in consecutive weeks? Mind-blowing, if you ask me. And it came against opponents ranked in the Top 15, no less.

 
Went to a place last night with a TV tuned to ESPN. Watched the same Roy Helu highlights all night long. It was awesome.

Isn't that 2 weeks in a row for the Offensive Player being named and from Nebraska? Taylor last week and Helu this week. That is very impressive.

There are a lot of good athletes and teams competing every week.

Congrats to Mr Helu/Goodbye!!! Reece Davis does a great Helu/Goodbye on Sportcenter.

 
This is some serious stuff. When you break a rushing record at a place like Nebraska, it's big deal.

Way to go Roy!
