BCSP NFL PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
for games of 12/14-15

OFFENSE
TROY HAMBRICK, 6-1, 233, RB, Dallas (4th year, SAVANNAH STATE) - Carried 33 times for 189 yards as Cowboys shut out Washington, 27-0. Hambrick ran through gaping holes of 12 and 15 yards on Dallas' opening drive and had a workhorse 13 carries out of 15 plays over three drives to put the game away in the fourth quarter. His last run was a 42-yard scamper to set up the Cowboys' final touchdown, giving him the third all-time best rushing game by a Dallas back behind Emmitt Smith's 237 in 1993 and Tony Dorsett's 206 in 1977. "I'm there, you can write it in stone," Hambrick said. "This is a big year for me to try to solidify myself as a running back in the NFL. I think I've been pressing a lot trying to get the job done, and tonight was my condition and type of weather."

DEFENSE
PETE HUNTER, 6-2, 212, DB, Dallas (2nd year, VIRGINIA UNION) - Had one tackle, one interception and two fumble recoveries in shutout of Washington.
