BATON ROUGE – The offensive and defensive stars of Grambling’s Bayou Classic win and the LSU kicked who tied a single game record in helping LSU win in overtime were named this week’s Louisiana Sports Writers Association college football players of the week, it was announced on Monday.

Josh Jasper of LSU tied a school-record with four field goals, including a 41-yarder with four seconds left to send the game into overtime, in LSU's 33-30 win over Arkansas. He kicked the game-winner in the first overtime when he connected from 36-yards out for his fourth field goal of the game and also kicked a pair of 47-yard field goals, one in the first quarter and the other in the fourth quarter. He also scored LSU's final 10 points of the game. The junior finished the contest with a total of 15 points, the second-highest point total in a single-game by a kicker.

Frank Warren of Grambling rushed for a career high 166 yards and two touchdowns as Grambling prevailed over Southern in the annual Louisiana Superdome battle, 31-13. Grambling led 14-13 at halftime and extended its lead to eight on the first possession of the second half when Warren scored a 13-yard run. He completed the scoring with a one-yard touchdown run with one minute remaining as Grambling’s conference-leading rushing game accounted for all four touchdowns.

On defense, the Grambling game MVP selection was Christian Anthony, who recorded nine tackles (eight for loss) with two sacks and a forced fumble.
