OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Harvard sophomore wide receiver Adam Scott (Denton, Texas) was instrumental in his team’s win over Columbia that put the Crimson alone at the top of the #IvyFootball standings
, with seven catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns. His first TD grab gave Harvard a 7-0 lead, and his second touchdown eventually became the gamewinner, as it gave the Crimson a 28-14 lead in its 28-21 victory.
Scott earns his first career Ivy League weekly award. He is the second Crimson to be named Offensive Player of the Week this season, joining Joe Viviano (Oct. 3).
Scott’s Statistics for the Week
7 Rec., 109 Yds., 15.6 Avg., 2 TDs; 1 Rush, 1 Yd.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Dartmouth senior linebacker Folarin Orimolade (Burtonsville, Md.) was a force in the Big Green’s come-from-behind 17-13 victory over Cornell. He recorded a team-high six tackles and made three key plays
, including a pair of first-quarter sacks that helped limit Cornell to field goals instead of touchdowns, and a forced fumble in the fourth quarter that Dartmouth recovered before going on the gamewinning drive.
Orimolade earns his second Defensive Player of the Week honor of the season (Sept. 26).
Orimolade’s Statistics for the Week
6 Tckls., 6 Total, 2 Sacks, 11 Yds., 2 TFL, 11 Yds., 1 FF
SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Ten days ago, Bears junior placekicker Ben Rosenblatt (Newtown Center, Mass.) was just a student at Brown. Saturday, he served as placekicker and did not miss, hitting both field goal attempts
and all three extra point efforts in the Bears’ 27-22 win over Yale. He also took on kickoff duty, banging all four of his kicks into the end zone for touchbacks.
Rosenblatt is the second Bear to be named Special Teams Player of the Week this season, joining Alexander Jette (Oct. 24).
Rosenblatt’s Statistics for the Week
2-2 FG, Lg. 21, 3-3 XP, 9 Pts.; 4 KO, 4 TB

He also scored his first career touchdown, a 52-yard scamper to open the scoring for his team
