College Football's All-Week 11 First Team: Top Performers at Every Position

Madness. Complete and utter madness.

That's just one of many possible descriptions about Week 11, when underdogs shattered what we thought to be true about the 2016 college football season. And in the process, the sport provided the best week of individual performances this year.

Career-best offensive stat lines, multisack outputs, multitakeaway games—everything was there. Bleacher Report is highlighting the best of those stellar days from around the country.

All players from games involving an FBS program were considered for the list. Competition level, clutch moments and efficiency also factored into the decisions.

Quarterback

Justin Ford-USA TODAY Sports

First Team: Quinton Flowers, South Florida

Quinton Flowers flies under the national radar, but he's a dynamic dual-threat quarterback on an 8-2 South Florida team.

Against Memphis, the junior completed 24 of 29 passes for 263 yards and two touchdowns. Flowers also scampered for 210 yards and three scores, including the game-winner with 1:46 remaining in the fourth quarter. USF snuck out a 49-42 triumph.

"The kid is unbelievable," head coach Willie Taggart said, per Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times. "You show me someone better."

Second Team: Brogan Roback, Eastern Michigan

Eastern Michigan should be headed to a bowl game for the first time since 1987. The Eagles earned their sixth victory thanks to a terrific day from Brogan Roback, who accounted for 509 total yards and four touchdowns in a 48-41 win over Ball State.

Running Backs

First Team: Derrius Guice and Leonard Fournette, LSU

As long as the Tigers can run the ball, they're in great shape. Derrius Guice and Leonard Fournette torched the Arkansas defense.

Guice broke off a school-record 96-yard touchdown run, adding one more score while amassing 252 yards. Fournette accounted for 142 yards and earned three trips to the end zone in the 38-10 win.

First Team: Thomas Koufie, Louisiana-Monroe

Georgia State simply could not stop Thomas Koufie.

A 5'11", 220-pound sophomore, he had 31 carries and 201 yards—despite not logging a run of more than 27. Koufie set a program record with five touchdowns during the 37-23 triumph.

According to the school, Koufie secured the program's first 200-plus-yard performance since 1993.

Second Team: Tim McVey, Air Force

Air Force threw just eight passes throughout a 49-46 victory over Colorado State. Thanks to Tim McVey, there was no reason to call any more. The junior running back shredded the Rams for a career-high 184 yards and scored four touchdowns.

Second Team: Aaron Jones, UTEP

For the second straight week, Aaron Jones topped the 200-yard mark. Although Florida Atlantic snatched a 35-31 win, he collected 229 yards and two scores to keep UTEP close. Jones chipped in four receptions for 38 yards.

Wide Receivers

First Team: Taywan Taylor, Western Kentucky

One of the nation's most prolific wideouts, Taywan Taylor topped the century mark for the seventh time in the Hilltoppers' 10 games.

"They are so efficient in their passing game," North Texas head coach Seth Littrell said, according to Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle. "Taylor can run by you."

And he did exactly that on a 75-yard touchdown, one of Taylor's three scores. He finished with 166 yards on six catches.

First Team: Tanner Gentry, Wyoming

It was a wild night in Las Vegas for Tanner Gentry.

Unfortunately for him, Wyoming lost to UNLV 69-66 in triple overtime. Without Gentry, however, the Pokes wouldn't have forced the extra sessions. He caught a game-tying touchdown as regulation expired.

Gentry ended the shootout with five receptions for a career-high 184 yards and three scores.

Second Team: ArDarius Stewart, Alabama

On a few occasions, the ball only traveled a foot or two before ArDarius Stewart "caught" the glorified handoff. But it's not the junior's fault Mississippi State couldn't tackle him. Stewart tied a personal best with eight receptions, setting highs with 156 yards and three scores.

Second Team: KeVonn Mabon, Ball State

Roback and Eastern Michigan earned the victory, but KeVonn Mabon was a primary reason Ball State held a halftime lead. He caught two touchdowns during the first half en route to a career-high 12 catches and 149 yards.

Tight End

First Team: Scott Orndoff, Pitt

Scott Orndoff played a leading role in Pitt's 43-42 stunner at Clemson.

The senior tight end posted career-high marks in each category, collecting nine passes for 128 yards and two touchdowns. Orndoff caught two passes for 25 yards on Pitt's game-winning drive.

Second Team: Daniel Imatorbhebhe, USC

Washington entered the fourth quarter trailing by just four points, but Daniel Imatorbhebhe pushed USC to a valuable two-possession lead. He snagged an eight-yard touchdown, giving the Trojans a 24-13 edge. Imatorbhebhe recorded a personal-best five receptions and 78 yards.

Offensive Line

First Team: Washington State

Washington State hadn't lost in conference play entering Week 11, and the team stayed unblemished in resounding fashion.

During a 56-21 stomping of Cal, the Cougars racked up 654 yards of total offense, converted eight of 11 third downs and did not allow a sack. Luke Falk threw for 373 yards and five touchdowns, while Gabe Marks set a Pac-12 record for career receptions.

Gerard Wicks scampered for a career-best 128 rushing yards, and James Williams added 80. They both scored one touchdown.

Second Team: South Florida

Flowers dominated the stat sheet, but USF's offensive line consistently opened lanes for the other runners, too. Rodney Adams and Marlon Mack tallied 201 and 130 total yards, respectively, and D'Ernest Johnson chipped in 48 rushing yards.

Defensive Ends

First Team: Hunter Dimick and Pita Taumoepenu, Utah

Are we positive Utah wasn't playing a video game?

Hunter Dimick and Pita Taumoepenu combined for 15 total stops, 10.5 tackles for loss and eight sacks, which is almost incomprehensible for a game between two power-conference teams.

Arizona State head coach Todd Graham agreed. "We got sacked 11 times, which is ridiculous," he said, according to Dirk Facer of the Deseret News.

First Team: Charles Harris, Missouri

Charles Harris has been relatively quiet recently, but he exploded in a big way against Vanderbilt.

The future NFL draft pick gathered nine total tackles, registering 3.5 for loss with 2.5 sacks. He also forced a fumble and posted two quarterback hurries during the 26-17 victory.

Second Team: Devonte Fields, Louisville

While Louisville's offense struggled to score until the fourth quarter, Devonte Fields and the defense made sure Wake Forest couldn't pull away. The edge-rusher collected nine total tackles, including four for loss and three sacks. Fields added one hurry.

Second Team: Javon Rolland-Jones, Arkansas State

Selecting the final spot was immensely difficult. Pat O'Connor (Eastern Michigan), Brandon Crawford (Buffalo), Harold Landry (Boston College) and Bradley Chubb (NC State) each had outstanding games with at least 1.5 sacks, but we're giving the nod to Javon Rolland-Jones. He totaled seven stops, four tackles for loss and three sacks.

Defensive Tackles

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

First Team: Joey Ivie, Florida

Joey Ivie hasn't had many performances like this one on senior day.

He earned the second multisack outing of career, recording five tackles in the 20-7 victory over South Carolina. Ivie also received credit for three hurries and one forced fumble.

First Team: Jaleel Johnson, Iowa

When Michigan took a 10-0 lead, it appeared like business as usual for Jim Harbaugh's team on the road at Iowa. Jaleel Johnson had a different idea, and he sparked the upset with a tackle for a safety.

The senior posted a team-high nine tackles, tallying one sack in addition to the safety during Iowa's 14-13 triumph.

Second Team: DeAngelo Brown, Louisville

DeAngelo Brown plugged up the middle while Fields shined on the outside. With Louisville trailing 6-0 and Wake Forest nearing the red zone, Brown forced a fumble. Immediately after the Cardinals took a 16-12 lead, he registered a 10-yard sack. The Deacons would punt, and that's when Louisville began to run away with the game.

Second Team: Woody Baron, Virginia Tech

Another week, another mention for Woody Baron. Virginia Tech failed to take advantage of an opportunity to seal the ACC Coastal Division, but the senior continued his hot streak. Of Baron's 10 tackles, three were for loss. He's now sixth in the country with 16 this year.

Outside Linebackers

First Team: Errol Clarke and Shaquem Griffin, UCF

Hayden Moore must be tired of seeing Errol Clarke and Shaquem Griffin. The duo spent Saturday disrupting Cincinnati.

Clarke and Griffin combined to tally all five of Central Florida's sacks, gathering seven total tackles for loss. Clarke also registered two quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles during the 24-3 win that helped the Knights become bowl eligible.

First Team: Tyus Bowser, Houston

Ever since Houston lost twice, the team has completely fallen out of the national picture. Quietly, the Cougars are rebounding.

Tyus Bowser headlined a superb defensive effort, accumulating a team-best 11 tackles with 3.5 for loss and three sacks during a 30-18 victory over Tulane. Bowser chipped in two more hurries.

Second Team: Ulysees Gilbert III, Akron

Although Akron lost to Bowling Green, Ulysees Gilbert III made the midweek showdown difficult for the Falcons. The sophomore recorded 10 total tackles, making three stops behind the line of scrimmage. Gilbert had two sacks, one forced fumble and one hurry.

Second Team: Brandon Bell, Penn State

Indiana gave Penn State everything it could handle, but Brandon Bell allowed the Nittany Lions to escape Bloomington, Indiana, victorious. The senior collected nine tackles, including 2.5 for loss and one game-clinching sack. He forced a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, handing Penn State at 45-31 lead with 29 seconds left.

Inside Linebacker

First Team: Jordan Evans, Oklahoma

Jordan Evans did a little bit of everything for the Sooners.

Per the school, the senior became the first player in Oklahoma history to have two interceptions and two sacks in one game. Evans led the Sooners with nine tackles and broke up two passes.

"I'm glad to see him make some plays now and start to gain some confidence back and gain some rhythm in his game," defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said, according to Brooke Pryor of the Oklahoman. "It comes at a good time."

Second Team: T.J. Ricks, Old Dominion

Manase Hungalu deserves a mention. The Oregon State defender had five tackles, two fumble recoveries, one interception, one defensive touchdown and one pass breakup. However, T.J. Ricks also assembled an outstanding weekend, registering 11 tackles with 2.5 stops for loss as well as forcing and recovering two fumbles.

Cornerbacks

First Team: Adoree' Jackson, USC

John Ross destroyed Adoree' Jackson's ankles on one touchdown, but the cornerback had the last laugh.

USC held a 24-13 advantage with just over four minutes remaining, so a defensive stop would just about seal the game. On the first play of the possession, Jackson did exactly that.

The interception was his second of the day, capping an outing in which Jackson broke up one pass and picked up a blocked field goal.

First Team: Horace Richardson, SMU

Though Horace Richardson managed just two tackles, he still made an enormous impression in the box score.

During SMU's 55-31 triumph over East Carolina, Richardson snagged a pair of interceptions and returned them both for a touchdown. He added two pass breakups.

Second Team: Marcus Milton, Bowling Green

Turnovers ruined Akron's chance at completing a comeback, and Bowling Green can credit Marcus Milton for that. The sophomore recovered a fumble and raced 76 yards to the end zone. Then, with the score even at 28, Milton grabbed an interception that set up the Falcons' go-ahead field goal with 2:23 remaining.

Second Team: Maurice Smith, Georgia

Nick Saban is apparently the master of the long con. Kirby Smart was Alabama's defensive coordinator, but he's now at Georgia, which just upset Auburn. The loss sealed the SEC West Division for the Tide, but even more ironically, Maurice Smith—an Alabama transfer—provided the key play. He returned an interception 34 yards for the Bulldogs' lone touchdown of the 13-7 win.

Safeties

First Team: Kyzir White, West Virginia

Kyzir White saved the Mountaineers early in the fourth quarter.

Texas trailed 24-20 but had reached the 15-yard line. On third down, White sacked Shane Buechele, forcing and recovering a fumble. The score ultimately held, and West Virginia escaped.

In addition to that clutch play, White finished the afternoon with five tackles, two sacks and one hurry.

First Team: Chase Hansen, Utah

While Dimick and Taumoepenu dominated the line of scrimmage, Chase Hansen was just as effective from his safety position. He posted six tackles with 1.5 for loss, returned an interception 34 yards for a touchdown and broke up a pass.

"A huge thanks to the defensive backs," Dimick said, according to Facer. "They played a great game this week."

Second Team: Lawrence Austin, Georgia Tech

On three occasions, Lawrence Austin eliminated a Virginia Tech scoring threat. He intercepted a pass in the end zone, snared a pick just outside of the red zone and also forced a fumble. Austin chipped in four tackles to help Georgia Tech win 30-20.

Second Team: Money Hunter, Arkansas State

The son of former Major League Baseball player Torii Hunter Jr., Money broke a record in Week 11. Hunter returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown, which was the fourth pick-six of his career and set a new Sun Belt career mark, per the school. He added five tackles, a fumble recovery and a pass breakup.

Kicker

First Team: Gary Wunderlich, Ole Miss

Shea Patterson led a 15-point comeback in the fourth quarter, and Gary Wunderlich sealed the deal. With less than a minute remaining against Texas A&M, Wunderlich stepped up and drilled a go-ahead 39-yard field goal. He added two field goals and two extra points.

Second Team: Evan Pantels and Nicolai Bornand, UNLV

In one other stranger developments of the weekend, Evan Pantels and Nicolai Bornand combined for 17 points in UNLV's win. Pantels connected on three field goals and four extra points before leaving the contest due to injury. Bornand hit three extra points and a game-winning 40-yard field goal in triple overtime.

Punter

Greg Bartram-USA TODAY Sports

First Team: Rigoberto Sanchez, Hawaii

Among specialists with at least four punts, Rigoberto Sanchez led the group at 49.5 yards per kick. Sanchez—who is also the placekicker—booted a long punt of 56 yards. Boise State managed just 14 return yards on Sanchez's four attempts.

Second Team: Shane Tripucka, Texas A&M

Texas A&M didn't lose because of poor special teams. Shane Tripucka averaged 47.8 yards on six punts, hitting a pair of 50-yarders and none shorter than 46. Two of Tripucka's kicks ended at or inside the 10-yard line, and a third was inside the 20.

Returner

Sean Pokorny-USA TODAY Sports

First Team: Carlos Henderson and Jarred Craft, Louisiana Tech

Carlos Henderson is a staple on the All-Week team, but the junior usually does his damage as a receiver. This time, he and Jarred Craft provided an enormous boost on special teams.

To open the 63-35 victory over UTSA, Henderson took the kick 90 yards for a touchdown. Then, when UTSA cut Louisiana Tech's lead to 14 in the fourth quarter, Craft snagged an onside kick and sprinted 45 yards to the house.

For good measure, both Craft and Henderson added a rushing score. The latter also caught one touchdown.

Second Team: C.J. Sanders, Notre Dame

Notre Dame wanted no part of "Upset Saturday." C.J. Sanders returned the opening kickoff 92 yards to pay dirt, placing the Irish on the path toward a 44-6 win against Army. Sanders, like Henderson, is one of four players nationally with two kick-return scores.
