OFFENSIVE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: Tevin Coleman, D'Angelo Roberts and Nate Sudfeld
Running backs Tevin Coleman and D'Angelo Roberts, also honored after the Indiana State and Missouri games, made the list for the third time this season, while quarterback Nate Sudfeld, honored after the Bowling Green game, found the list for the second time in 2014.
Coleman and Roberts were part of a rushing attack that went for 363 yards on the ground Saturday, marking the sixth consecutive time dating back to last season that IU has surpassed 200 yards rushing. Coleman, who accounted for 150 yards of the damage, extended his nation-leading streaks of seven straight games with 100-plus yards rushing and 14 straight games with a rushing touchdown. Roberts used a career-long rush of 47 yards on his way to 102 yards rushing, his fourth career 100-yard game and second of the season. He also found the end zone twice for his third career multi-TD game.
Sudfeld was 23-of-29 for 230 yards and three touchdowns. His 79.3 completion percentage was second for a single game in Indiana history and the outing marked his 10th career 200-yard passing game and ofurth game with at least three TD tosses.
DEFENSIVE PLAYERS OF THE WEEK: Chase Dutra and Tegray Scales

SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: T.J. Simmons and Erich Toth
