Williams, Kelsay, Hill honored by Big 12

DALLAS (AP) - Texas running back Ricky Williams, Nebraska rush end Chad Kelsay and Kansas return man-wide receiver Harrison Hill have been named the Big 12's players of the week.

Williams, a senior, ran for a career-high 318 yards on 30 carries and six touchdowns in the Longhorns' 59-21 victory over Rice. It was the second-most yards in school history. By also catching four passes for 32 yards, he set a school record with 350 all-purpose yards.

Kelsay spearheaded the Cornhuskers' 55-7 victory over Washington with four total tackles, two solos, three quarterback hurries, a sack, a forced fumble and an interception. Kelsay set the defensive tone for the afternoon by knocking down Washington quarterback Brock Huard's first pass attempt and then forcing a fumble on the opening play from scrimmage in the second half.

Hill, a redshirt freshman, had an 81-yard punt return, the fifth-longest in school history, in the Jayhawks' 39-37 victory over Alabama-Birmingham in four overtimes. He finished the game with 211 all-purpose yards and three touchdowns. He had eight catches for 118 yards, including a game-winning 25-yard touchdown grab.
