TEMPE, Ariz.– Quarterback Brock Osweiler and kick returner
Jamal Miles were named Pac-10 Conference Players of the Week

in ASU’s 55-34 win over UCLA on Friday.

the game, came off the bench in to replace injured starter
Steven Threet late in the first quarter with ASU trailing
the Bruins 17-0. He finished the game completing 27 of 38
passes for 380 yards with four touchdowns and no
interceptions, all new career highs.He also added 35 rushing
yards and a touchdown.
Miles, a sophomore, returned a kickoff 99 yards for a
touchdown in the second quarter of his team’s win over UCLA.
He became the third different ASU player to return a kickoff
for a touchdown this season. Those three returns for
touchdowns this season are a school record and are tied for
a Pac-10 record.
Junior Onyeali is the only other Sun Devil to win the honor
in 2010. Onyeali won the award for his performance against
Washington State on October 30.
