Football: Bush, Terry, Chenault Named HBK Players of the Game Against SDSU

   Junior tight end Derrick Bush, senior linebacker James Terry and senior free safety Dorian Chenault were named the YSU Hill Barth & King Players of the Game for their performances in the 23-17 win over South Dakota State, the coaching staff announced.

    Bush was named the HBK Offensive Player of the Game after finishing with two receptions for 24 yards. Both of his grabs (19 and five yards) came on third-down plays.
    Terry was named the HBK Defensive Player of the Game after being credited with five total tackles, including four solo stops. He had two tackles for 12 yards in losses, including a 10-yard sack.

    Chenault was named the HBK Special Teams Player of the Game. In the first quarter, he burst through the Jackrabbits punt protection blocking YSU's first punt since 2003. Vince Gliatta scooped up the subsequent block and ran it in for a touchdown.

     Junior guard Brad Samsa was tabbed the Jim Zdelar Offensive Lineman of the Game while senior defensive end Maurice Smith was selected as the Jermaine Hopkins Defensive Lineman of the Game.

    Earning Scout Team honors for their work during the week were freshman offensive lineman Greg Sazdanoff (offense), sophomore cornerback Andre Elliott (defense) and linebacker John Sasson (special teams).

    Gliatta earned the W.O.W./Derek Pixley Hit of the Game for the second consecutive week.

    Earning the Haines Family Player-of-the-Game honor from the YSU radio broadcast crew was wide receiver Ferlando Williams.

    Senior offensive tackle Matt Kishman was selected as the recipient of the Wachovia Leadership Award.

    The Penguins return to action on Saturday at Stambaugh Stadium against Stony Brook. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.
