Mays, Williams named player of week

| No Comments

The Trojans have captured two-thirds of the Pac-10's weekly honors.

Taylor Mays has been named the conference's defensive player of the week and Damian Williams won the special teams player of the week award after their performances in Saturday's 30-3 win over Cal.

Mays had a team-high 10 tackles and an interception, while Williams returned a punt 66 yards for a touchdown in the win.

USC nearly had a clean sweep on this week's award circuit. Tailback Joe McKnight was one of five nominees for the offensive player of the week honor that went to Oregon State wideout James Rodgers.
