Yes, another Texas Tech player and receiver in the top 10. Cantrell had nine receptions for 111 yards and two touchdowns Saturday. He has had a quiet but strong sophomore year for the Red Raiders.
6. Terence Williams, sophomore RB, Baylor
Williams had a big day Saturday with 23 carries for 147 yards and two touchdowns. There were many touchdowns scored in the game between Baylor and Texas Tech, but Williams’ performance wouldn’t be enough to beat the Red Raiders.

9. Martell Pettaway, freshman RB, West Virginia
Pettaway had his way with the Cylcones on Saturday, pounding the rock 30 times for 181 yards and a score. Pettaway helped balance the West Virginia offense with his ground game to shut down the Cyclones.
10. Zach Smith, freshman QB, Baylor
Smith has had a good few games this year for the Bears, as he threw for 377 yards, three touchdowns and an interception Saturday against Texas Tech. Smith had to come in a few weeks ago for senior quarterback Seth Russell after he suffered a season-ending ankle injury.
