Colorado Buffaloes kicker Davis Price was named the Pac-12's special teams player of the week for his performance against Oregon State. The freshman scored 11 points (5 PAT, 2 FG) in relief of Diego Gonzalez, who suffered a season-ending injury against Michigan. Price set a CU freshman record for the longest field goal made (54 yards) in Saturday's 47-6 victory. He came to CU as a walk-on and started the season unlisted on the depth chart.
Prince joins quarterbacks Sefo Liufau and Steven Montez as the third Buff this season to receive conference player of the week honors.
Receiver Shay Fields and defensive end Jimmie Gilbert received honorable mention for this past weekend. Fields finished with seven receptions for 169 yards and three touchdown against the Beavers. Gilbert tallied two sacks and two forced fumbles in the game.
