Best Overall Team Performance - Texas A&M-Kingsville
The Javelinas once again found themselves trailing a top 10 team, this time West Texas A&M had sprinted out to a 24-6 midway through the second quarter. From that point on, it was all TAMK. The Javelinas outscored WT, 22-0 over the final 38 minutes of the game, outgained them 384-81, and limited Taylor Harris to just 7-17 passing for 51 yards over that period (he started the game 10-14 for 185 yards and 3 TDs). The offense gained a season high 503 yards, picked up 30 first downs and controlled the clock for almost 40 minutes.

Best Special Teams Performance - Christian Brom, Texas A&M-Kingsville

Brom booted three field goals (41, 21, and 20 yards) on consecutive Javelina possessions, allowing TAMK to chip away at an 11 point halftime deficit and putting them in position to take the lead on Sherman Batiste's 13 yard TD reception with 3:24 to play in the ball game.
