West Virginia University Football Power Rankings Week 6

1. Kevin White - White once again showed why he should be considered the best receiver in the Big 12, if not the country, and he only took one quarter to show why. White tied Stedman Bailey's record with five consecutive 100-yard receiving games, and now ranks #1 in the NCAA in receiving yards with 765.

Previous ranking #1

2. Mario Alford - Super Mario had 4 catches for 80 yards and one carry for 19 yards. Alford would have had added a touchdown if not for a horse collar tackle inside the ten yard line. Alford did manage to electrify the crowd with his second kick return for touchdown on the year, this one going for 94 yards.

Previous ranking #3

3. Clint Trickett - His lowest ranking to date Trickett seemed a bit out of sorts, but if 302 yards and a touchdown indicate a bad game then WVU is in good shape at the quarterback position. That is as long as Trickett stops the practice of tackling defenders who intercept his passes.

Previous ranking #2

4. Josh Lambert - Lambert had one field goal blocked, but managed to go 4/5 on field goal attempts for the game including a 53-yarder. He also was 3/3 on extra points finishing the game with 15 points.

Previous ranking #4

5. Wes Tonkery - Tonkery has been all over the field the last couple games, and would have had any easy touchdown if he had not dropped an interception early in the game. It is great to see a West Virginia guy making such a big impact on the team. Per cfbstats.com Tonkery finished with two passes broken up, one sack, and five tackles.

Previous ranking unranked

6. Rushel Shell - Shell surpassed the 100-yard mark finishing with 21 carries for 113 yards and a touchdown averaging a stout 5.4 yard per carry. If Shell can continue to put together games like this WVU's offense will be straight scary.

Previous ranking #7

7. Nick Kwiatkoski - Per cfbstats.com Kwiatkoski had 7 tackles for the game and now has 37 total tackles for the year. Like Tonkery, Kwiatkoski is making his presence felt for what appears to be an improving defense.

Previous ranking unranked

8. Nick O'Toole - O'Toole averaged 45.3 yards a punt on 4 punts.

Previous ranking #10

9. Wendell Smallwood - Smallwood didn't do his usual damage through the air, but he did have 10 carries for 47 yards with for a nice 4.7 yards per clip.

Previous ranking #6

10. Dustin Garrison - Garrison finished with 5 carries for 39 yards including a run of 28 yards. Unfortunately for Garrison he coughed the ball up. Nonetheless, Garrison has shown that he still has the skill set to be a viable option at running back for WVU.
