The New Week 10 Players Of The Week in College Football were not easy to select at Nuts And Bolts Sports. There were many outstanding performances as the college football regular season ends for NAIA, Division III, Division II and is rounding into the ‘home stretch’ for the FCS and FBS levels.
For many younger fans the term fullback conjures up images of short-yardage and goal-line situations. Their imaginings may mostly be of players who have a dozen or so touches in a season and live to block and get the rare dive play into the end-zone. But some of us remember that Jim Brown, Jim Taylor and Larry Csonka all made it to Canton as fullbacks. While he may never make the Pro Football Hall of Fame, 
Ben Sherman is likely to be remembered for many years at William Penn (Iowa) as he is the school’s record holder for career rushing yards (3,447) with 247 yard performance against Clarke, he took the record with a 92 yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Tyler Jarnagin has been impressive for Benedictine College , he has consistently produced at a high level but he set new standards in his last game 33 completions on 46 pass attempts for 508 yards, 5 touchdowns, with a long pass and run of 54 yards, but that’s nowhere close to all of his dominance he rushed 12 times for 132 yards with a long run of 58 yards! He set multiple single game offense marks in that game.
