College Football Week 13: Top performers of the week

Week 13 of the college football season is in the books, and a few players continue to dominate individually. Here are the top-five performers from Week 13.

The college football regular season has one more week, as conferences will host their respective championship games this weekend. It has been an incredible season of college football, which has captivated fans since Week 1. The College Football Playoff is within reach for a handful of teams, so it should be an exciting weekend of football.

Here are our top-5 individual performances from last weekend’s games.

One of the biggest stories in the state of Texas this past weekend was the possible last game coaching at Houston for head coach Tom Herman. Rumors have been swirling all season about Herman possibly leaving the Cougars, and that came to fruition when he accepted the head coaching job at Texas after the Cougars latest loss. It will be interesting to see how the program moves on from Herman, but one thing is for sure: they have a dynamic wide receiver at the next coach’s disposal.

Linell Bonner went off against Memphis this past weekend, as he tried to will his team to the victory over the Tigers. Though his team fell, 48-44, Bonner was spectacular, catching 17 passes for 235 yards. Bonner also grabbed a touchdown in the loss, as he looked to be fully healthy from a shoulder injury that has dogged him this season.

It has been quite a year for Bonner, who now has gone over 100 yards receiving in four games. This was the first time he went over 200 yards this season, as the junior has established himself as an incredible target in the Cougars’ offense. For the year, Bonner has caught 93 passes for over 1,000 yards, and he should help the program transition from Herman next season.
