I find it amazing that our defensive line has had two of its members named Big Sky Defensive Player of the week for two out of three weeks.
Christian Clark won the honor for his efforts last Saturday and Zack Nash won the honor for the first game of the season. Considering that Clark is only a sophomore and Nash is a RS Freshman, this bodes well for the future of the program. Congratulations to these two young men.

CHRISTIAN CLARK NAMED BIG SKY DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
9/15/2008
OGDEN, Utah — Sacramento State sophomore Christian Clark was named the Big Sky Conference Defensive Player of the Week, it was announced today. The honor is the first for Clark during his career. He is the second Hornet defensive lineman to earn the award this season, joining Zack Nash who was honored following the first game.
Against Southern Oregon, Clark registered a career high six tackles, including 2.5 for loss. The Los Angeles native also had two sacks, forced a fumble and blocked an extra point in the 27-16 victory over the Raiders. Clark’s sack and forced fumble in the second quarter led directly to Evander Wilkins’ 9-yard touchdown run on the following play to give Sacramento State a 21-3 lead.
This season, Clark leads all Hornet defensive linemen and ranks fourth on the team with 15 total tackles. His 3.5 tackles-for-loss and 2.5 sacks are second on the team only behind All-America linebacker Mike Brannon (4.5 TFL, 3.0 sacks).
Weber State quarterback Cameron Higgins and Montana wide receiver Mark Mariani were named co-Offensive Players of the Week while Montana State return man Demetrius Crawford earned the special teams honor.
Sacramento State opens Big Sky play on Saturday against Weber State. The game will kick off at 2:05 p.m. from Hornet Stadium.
