Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham has continued to improve week-by-week, and has caught the attention of many award committees, including one based in his home state.
The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, an award given to a Division 1 College Football Player born in Texas and/or graduated from High School in Texas, has named Stidham "National Player of the Week" after a great showing in a 49-10 win over then #24 Mississippi State last Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
