LOUISVILLE, KY (Sept. 14, 2010) – Rutgers sophomore wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (South Brunswick, N.J.) and senior defensive back Joe Lefeged (Germantown, Md.) were two of nine players from across the nation that have been named honorees in the "Paul Hornung's Most Versatile Performances of the Week.

He also hauled in four passes for 25 yards and completed one pass for 24 yards and a touchdown. Sanu also got involved in the kicking game and had one punt for 34 yards that was downed inside the 20.
