The top vote getter in the Cyclone Player of the Week voting for week 8 with 48% of the vote is WR Marquis Hamilton . The sophomore wide receiver from Oklahoma had seven catches for 88 yards and rushed 4 times for 8 yards. Hamilton nearly had a big special teams play as well, as he just missed blocking a first quarter punt.
I can’t say I agree with the voting this week. I really felt like the award should have went to a defensive player. It is not everyday you see a Cyclone team shut out Oklahoma for more than a half. However it is up to the fans to decide and we don’t use Diebold machines to tally the votes so we are unable to rig the results.
Note: A defensive player hasn’t won the Cyclone Player of the Week all year.
