MICHAEL VICK -- VIRGINIA TECH

Vick Breaking it down: Still hasn't broken out like we all expected him to do by now, but that "flip" reminds us all what he's capable of doing with the ball in his hands. Solid, if not spectacular, against Rutgers. Saturday's Performance: Beat Rutgers, 49-0 Passing: 10 of 18, 120 yards; 1 TD, 0 INT Rushing: 11 carries, 114 yards; 1 TD Season Statistics Passing: 26 of 44, 412 yards; 4TDs, 1 INT Rushing: 25 carries, 219 yards; 3 TDs

DREW BREES -- PURDUE

Brees Breaking it down: Upstaged by a sophomore making his first start? That's no way to impress voters who were watching his day in South Bend on national TV. Brees did bring the Boilermakers back in the second half, but it wasn't the statement game he was looking for. And his team lost. Saturday's Performance: Lost to Notre Dame, 23-21 Passing: 13 of 22, 221 yards; 2 TDs, 1 INT Season Statistics Passing: 70 of 110, 954 yards; 7 TDs, 2 INTs

ERIC CROUCH -- NEBRASKA

Crouch Breaking it down: Deserved a rest after last week's heart-stopping win. Should pick up this week where he left off as an 0-3 Iowa team, which allowed Sage Rosenfels (who?) to pass for 228 yards and run for two touchdowns Saturday, comes into Lincoln. Saturday's Performance: Bye Up next: Home against Iowa on Sept. 23. Season Statistics Passing: 11 of 25, 170 yards; 1 TD, 3 INTs Rushing: 24 carries, 137 yards; 6 TDs

CHRIS WEINKE -- FLORIDA STATE

Weinke Breaking it down: If only UNC were the 'Noles foe each week, Weinke would have this locked up. Doubled his TD output in just three quarters of work and still hasn't thrown an interception in three games. Oh, by the way, Weinke has led Florida State to a national-best 15 straight victories. Saturday's Performance: Beat North Carolina, 63-14 Passing: 12 of 22, 262 yards; 4 TDs, 0 INT Season Statistics Passing: 69 of 110, 1,023 yards; 8 TDs, 0 INT

LADAINIAN TOMLINSON -- TCU

Tomlinson Breaking it down: Did you forget about last year's NCAA rushing leader? Well, his 243-yard performance Saturday should remind you just how good he can be. And don't forget, he had 100 yards and 2 TDs called back due to penalties. Saturday's Performance: Beat Northwestern, 41-14 Rushing: 39 carries, 243 yards; 2 TDs Season Statistics Rushing: 63 carries, 419 yards; 5 TDs

DESHAUN FOSTER -- UCLA

Foster Breaking it down: The workhorse of the Bruins didn't break 100 yards, but his team beat another No. 3 and that's two in three weeks. Surprise team of the season may have sleeper candidate to earn an invite to the Downtown Athletic Club. Saturday's Performance: Beat Michigan, 23-20 Rushing: 24 carries, 95 yards; 1 TD Season Statistics Rushing: 95 carries, 422 yards; 6 TDs
