RENO — The Nevada Wolf Pack swept all three of the Mountain West Conference’s player of the week awards after last week’s 30-16 victory at Fresno State.
Freshman defensive back Daemon Barber was named the defensive player of the week on Monday after he became only the ninth player in league history to intercept three passes in a single game. All three picks came in the fourth quarter. It’s the second time this year Butler has won the award.
Sophomore running back James Butler ran for 122 yards and scored a touchdown to claim the offensive honors.
On special teams, junior kicker Brent Zuzo made all three field goal attempts from 47, 30 and 25 yards and was a perfect 3-for-3 on extra points.
