The Associated Press national player of the week in football for Week 6 of the season:

The transfer quarterback from Tennessee was responsible for all five UCLA touchdowns in the 42-37 upset of Penn State. With tight ends and wide receivers coach Jerry Neuheisel calling the plays for the first time, Iamaleava completed 17 of 24 passes for 166 yards and two TDs and ran for 128 yards and three scores on 16 carries.

Iamaleava led the Volunteers to a 10-3 record and the College Football Playoff last season. He announced his transfer to UCLA in April and lost his first four games as the starter. His head coach, DeShaun Foster, was fired after the third game and offensive coordinator Tino Sunseri was let go after the fourth.

Eli Heidenreich, Navy. He caught eight passes for a school-record 243 yards and three touchdowns against Air Force. The senior’s 14 career touchdown catches are most in school history, while his three TD receptions tied the single-game school record.

__ Missouri’s Ahmad Hardy was idle this past weekend but took over the national rushing lead after UTSA’s Robert Henry Jr. was held to 42 yards by Temple. Hardy averages 146 yards per game to Henry’s 133.

__ Georgia State is on pace to become the first team since Toledo in 2021 to average 10 or more penalties per game. The Panthers average 12 per game, most in the country.

__ San Diego State has not lost a fumble in 15 games.

__ Auburn has allowed an FBS-worst 21 sacks in five games, six fewer than its 12-game total in 2024.
