The Mid-American Conference on Monday announced its Week Seven football Players of the Week. 
MAC East POTW were: WR David Frazier (Miami), DB Brian Sutton (Bowling Green) and kicker Robert Stein (Akron).
MAC West POTW were: RB Thomas Rawls (Central Michigan), QB Reginal Bell (Eastern Michigan), LB Anthony Zampne (Eastern Michigan) and kicker Jeremiah Detmer (Toledo).

East Division

Offensive Player of the Week:  
Miami WR David Frazier
Miami senior wide receiver David Frazier (Columbia, S.C.) recorded a career-high nine catches to go along with 132 yards and two touchdowns (matches a career-high) in a 29-19 loss at Akron. Frazier and the Miami offense torched the Zips for 352 yards through the air.

Defensive Player of the Week:  
Bowling Green DB Brian Sutton
Bowling Green senior defensive back Brian Sutton (Fishers, Ind.) led a balanced defensive effort on Saturday, as the Falcons allowed just one offensive touchdown in a 31-13 win at Ohio. The 13 points were a season-low allowed by the Falcons, helped in part by two turnovers forced by the defense and four stops on fourth-down plays. Sutton tied for the team high with 11 tackles and led the team with 2.0 tackles for loss. On the first defensive play of the game, Sutton came up on the Ohio ball carrier to force a fumble and give the ball back to the Bowling Green offense. The Falcons led 14-0 less than three minutes into the game, thanks to the play made by Sutton.

Special Teams Player of the Week: 
 Akron K Robert Stein
Akron junior Robert Stein (Cincinnati, Ohio) converted two field goals and three PATs in a 29-19 win over Miami.  Stein made his eighth and ninth consecutive field goals with a 28-yard score in the first quarter and a 46-yarder in the second quarter. He was also a perfect 3-for-3 in PATs and kicked off six times for a career-best 364 yards (60.7 avg.).


West Division

Co-Offensive Player of the Week:  
Central Michigan RB Thomas Rawls
Central Michigan senior running back Thomas Rawls (Flint, Mich.) rushed for 270 yards on 40 carries and scored two touchdowns as the Chippewas broke Northern Illinois’ 28-game home winning streak with a 34-17 road victory.  His 270 rushing yards ranks third in the FBS this season and is the highest total by a MAC player. Rawls is the first player to rush for more than 200 yards versus NIU since 2010 and the Huskies entered the game leading the conference in rushing defense (107.6). As has been Rawls' pattern all season, he got stronger as the game progressed. He ran for 194 yards on 24 carries in the second half as the Chippewas salted the game away.

Co-Offensive Player of the Week:  
Eastern Michigan QB Reginald Bell Jr.
Eastern Michigan freshman quarterback Reginald Bell Jr. (Los Angeles, Calif.) rushed for 202 yards and three touchdowns and threw for 144 yards and another score in a 37-27 win over Buffalo.  Bell entered the contest with 4:15 remaining in the second quarter when the team was down, 10-0, and propelled the squad to a 37-27 victory, bolstering the team’s total yardage from 73 yards to 484 in just over a half a game.  Bell racked up a school record-tying four touchdowns.  Bell rushed for three touchdowns for a total of 202 yards and became the first player in school history to run for two 70-plus yard touchdowns in one game.  The 202 rushing yards by Bell in the Eagles’ win over the Bulls marked the first time that an Eagle has run for more than 200 yards since Oct. 19, 2013, when Bronson Hill put up 257 yards against Ohio. The redshirt freshman ended the afternoon completing eight passes in 13 attempts to rack up 144 passing yards and one touchdown.

Defensive Player of the Week:  
Eastern Michigan LB Anthony Zappone
Eastern Michigan sophomore linebacker Anthony Zappone (Westlake, Ohio) recorded a career-best 13 tackles in a 37-27 victory over Buffalo to go with a career high three tackles for loss.  The redshirt-sophomore currently sits in a tie for first in the MAC in tackles for loss as he is averaging five a game. His 9.5 tackles per contest ranks seventh in the league among linebackers. Zappone’s 9.5 tackles per contest also tie for 11th in the conference.

Special Teams Player of the Week:  
Toledo K Jeremiah Detmer
Toledo senior kicker Jeremiah Detmer (Hilliard, Ohio) converted three field goals in a 37-30 loss at Iowa State.  Detmer booted a season high three field goals, connecting on a 27-yarder in the first quarter, a 29-yarder in the second and a 41-yarder in the fourth period. He was also credited with five touchbacks in six kickoffs. Detmer moved into second place in Toledo history with 60 career field goals.
