06/22/2010 - Tulsa, OK (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Chicago wide receiver DEJUAN ALFONZO, Arizona quarterback NICK DAVILA and Chicago defensive back CHRIS MARTIN have been named the JLS Ironman, Russell Athletic Offensive Player and Riddell Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, for Week 12 of 2010. In addition to these three awards, the AFL is also highlighting the player who makes the best Catch of the Week, the Playmaker of the Week, and the Highlight of the Week. The Cutters Catch of the Week Award for Week 12 goes to Arizona wide receiver ROD WINDSOR, while Tampa Bay wide receiver HANK EDWARDS has been named the Playmaker of the Week. The Highlight of the Week award has gone to Orlando's quarterback NICK HILL.
JLS IRONMAN OF THE WEEK
Alfonzo (6-0, 205, Indiana State) played an integral role in Chicago's come- from-behind victory over the Milwaukee Iron. He rushed in one touchdown in addition to making seven catches for 97 yards. Defensively, Alfonzo tallied two unassisted tackles and one pass break up. Alfonzo also made a game-changing play with 43 seconds remaining in the game-an interception run back 54-yards for a touchdown, propelling the Rush to the victory.
RUSSELL ATHLETIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Davila (6-3, 210, Cincinnati) guided the Rattlers to their seventh win of the season with the 79-50 win over Bossier-Shreveport. Davila threw 20-of-26 on the night for 319 yards and nine touchdowns with no interceptions. It was his third zero-interception game of the year. His nine touchdown passes tied a franchise high, and it was the second time this season he has thrown nine scores in a single game.
RIDDELL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Martin (5-11, 190, Washington State) led the Rush in tackles on Saturday night, tallying seven unassisted and three assisted. Martin also tallied a key interception late in the game when the Iron got the ball back on offense following a Chicago score. The resulting offensive play resulted in a Rush touchdown, tying the game up at 42. Martin also was credited with three pass break ups on the evening.

Many fans thought it was the best side in the nation by the end of last season. This year, the polls have built on Georgia's momentum and granted it the No. 1 preseason ranking, followed by Ohio State and USC. (The Associated Press has the Buckeyes at No. 2; USA Today took the Trojans.)
"To have people believing we have one of the best teams in the nation going into this thing, it's exciting for us," Bulldogs coach Mark Richt told the AP. "I don't think anything is guaranteed, but we certainly have put ourselves in position where at least the college football world thinks we're pretty good."
Georgia Bulldogs - 9.5 wins
There's no question they're good, but the Bulldogs have one of the toughest 12-game schedules in the nation, mostly because they play in the powerhouse Southeastern Conference. Away games at No. 15 Arizona State, No. 7 LSU and No. 10 Auburn loom large, with contests between the hedges versus No. 24 Alabama and No. 18 Tennessee as well as the World's Largest Cocktail Party in Jacksonville versus No.5 Florida.
Ohio State Buckeyes - 10 wins
Like the Bulldogs, the Buckeyes also have a number of tough road contests in 2008. After two scrimmages dressed up as real games versus Youngstown State and Ohio, it's off to face USC. Other tough away games include No.13 Wisconsin in October and No. 20 Illinois in November. Granted, it should be pretty easy sledding at the Horseshoe. In fact, the only ranked team that travels to Columbus is No. 22 Penn State, in October.
USC Trojans - 10.5 wins
A similarly light schedule awaits the Trojans of Southern California, which is why the oddsmakers' total is one win more and the over is currently commanding -150 odds. Pete Carroll's troops only play three ranked teams in 2008, and all of those games are at home. After what should be an easy trip to Virginia to start things off on Aug. 30, the Trojans get two weeks to prepare for Ohio State in Los Angeles. Their two other ranked opponents, No. 21 Oregon and No. 15 Arizona State, visit in consecutive weeks to start the month of October. After that, the competition eases up. Of course, this is the same highly-touted school that lost to Stanford in 2007 and Oregon State in 2006. And don't discount the fact that USC plays its biggest rivals, Notre Dame and UCLA, back-to-back to close out the regular season. On paper, the Trojans are far superior, but motivation will be high for the Irish and Bruins, especially if their historic foes are in national-title contention.
Odds to Win the Heisman Trophy
Tim Tebow, Florida - 7/2
He won it last year, so it's no surprise he's the favorite to do it again, making him just the second player to go back-to-back. Ohio State's Archie Griffin turned the trick in 1974 and 1975, and Tebow's coach, Urban Meyer, is pretty sure his star quarterback can match the Buckeyes legend.
"There has never been anyone quite like him," Meyer told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I am very lucky to be his coach."
Chris Wells, Ohio State - 5/1
The man they call "Beanie" was a star recruit out of high school, so it's not like nobody knew who the star tailback was before he rushed for 576 yards as a freshman in 2006 and 1,609 as a sophomore. But perhaps his finest moment came last year versus Michigan when he rumbled for 222 yards and two touchdowns in the Buckeyes' 14-3 victory over the hated Wolverines.
Knowshon Moreno, Georgia - 8/1
If the Bulldogs are to live up to expectations, they'll need a huge effort from their sophomore running back. This might be the last year of college ball for Moreno, who rushed for 1,334 yards and for 14 touchdowns as a freshman, while adding 253 receiving yards on 20 receptions, so expect big things for the man from Belford, N.J.
