<p>Oct. 3, 2006</p>
<p>ATLANTA (October 2, 2006) -- Facing the 10th ranked defense in the nation, Navy put on a triple-option clinic. Midshipmen quarterback Brian Hampton raced for 182 yards rushing and three touchdowns while throwing for 141 yards and a score en route to the 41-17 victory over Connecticut. The Huskies had been giving up just 231 yards per game, and Navy had eclipsed that total before halftime with 317 yards. For his impressive performance, Brian Hampton is awarded the "MCS Game Ball" for offensive player of the week. </p>
<p>Each week during the 2006 college football season, the 17 Master Football Coaches will award an MCS Game Ball to the respective schools of an Offensive, Defensive and Special Teams Player of the Week. The Master Coaches will also present a game ball to the offensive and defensive coordinator whose game plans made the biggest impact in their respective teams' victory. </p>
<p>In addition to Hampton, the Master Football Coaches will also award MCS Game Balls to Florida defensive back Reggie Nelson, Illinois kicker Jason Reda, BYU offensive coordinator Robert Anae and Boise State defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox. </p>
<p>Offense Brian Hampton, QB Navy </p>
<p>Navy quarterback Brian Hampton accounted for 323 total yards and four total touchdowns, including 182 yards on the ground with three touchdowns and 141 passing yards and a score in the Midshipmen's win over Connecticut. Navy totaled 605 yards in the game, when Connecticut's defense had given up just 231 yards per game in their previous 3 games. </p>
<p>Defense Reggie Nelson, DB Florida </p>
<p>The No. 5 Florida Gators had three interceptions against Alabama this past weekend, but none were bigger than Reggie Nelson's pick. With just under five minutes remaining, Florida led just 21-13, and the Crimson Tide were driving. Nelson intercepted a John Parker Wilson pass and dashed 70 yards for the score, cementing the 28-13 victory for the Gators. He also recovered a fumble on another intercepted pass. </p>
<p>Special Teams Jason Reda, K Illinois </p>
<p>With the game tied, 20-20, Illinois turned to their junior placekicker, Jason Reda, to give the Illini their first Big Ten win under Ron Zook. Reda booted the ball from 39 yards out, and there was never any doubt as the kick split the uprights with just 6 seconds remaining. Reda also made his other two attempts in the game from 27 and 34 yards respectively. </p>
<p>Offensive Coordinator Robert Anae, BYU </p>
<p>Facing the then No. 16 ranked TCU Horned Frogs, BYU shocked the college football world by ending the nation's longest winning streak at 13 games. Robert Anae's offense put up 373 yards of total offense, including 321 yards through the air in the Cougars' 31-17 win. Anae's offense converted 9-of-17 plays on the third down and scored all 3 times they entered the red zone against an outstanding TCU defense. </p>
<p>Defensive Coordinator Justin Wilcox, Boise State </p>
<p>The No. 22 Boise State Broncos held Utah to just 3 points while forcing five turnovers in their win this past weekend. Justin Wilcox's defense held the Utes to just 178 yards of total offense in the Broncos' rout. Boise State's 36-3 victory was the worst home loss suffered by Utah in 17 years. </p>
<p>About the Master Coaches Survey </p>
<p>The Master Coaches Survey, an advisory poll comprised of 17 former college football coaches, includes 11 College Football Hall of Fame Members and represents five national championships and over 3,000 victories combined. Based on the MCS system, the voters review all of the relevant game tapes following each week of competition, discuss each teams' performance during a weekly conference call, then establish a ranking of the Top 25 teams. The MCS Top 25 can be found on the MCS website (<a href="http://www.mcspoll.com)%5B/url%5D">www.mcspoll.com)</a>, including a breakdown of how the coaches voted. </p>
<p>As part of their selection process, the coaches not only attend games across the nation, but spend countless hours reviewing the DVDs of the previous weekend's match-ups. Through this extensive process, the expert panel of coaches also selects the top players and assistant coaches who will be awarded MCS Game Balls each week.</p>
