Release from the Big South Conference:

Coastal Carolina running back De’Angelo Henderson (Summerville, S.C.) has been named the Choice Hotels Big South Football Offensive Player of the Week, while Kennesaw State defensive back Derrick Farrow (Cochran, Ga.) has been selected as the Defensive Player of the Week for games played the second week of the regular season.  Coastal Carolina punter Evan Rabon(Florence, S.C.) is the Special Teams Player of the Week and Monmouth safety Deonta Fair (Miami, Fla.) is The Crons Brand Freshman of the Week.

Henderson rushed for 136 yards and one touchdown, and caught five passes for 44 yards to help the Chanticleers to a 41-14 win at South Carolina State.  He had 116 yards on 21 carries in the first half, including a 3-yard touchdown run that gave CCU a 15-0 lead.  Henderson rushed for 30 of Coastal’s 49 yards during the eight-play drive.  He posted five plays of 10 yards or more (three rushes, two receptions) and was responsible for 11 first downs (nine rush, two receiving).

Farrow forced three fumbles and had a team-high five tackles — all solo — in Kennesaw State’s home-opening victory over Edward Waters.  His second quarter forced fumble resulted in an 18-yard recovery and touchdown for the Owls.  Later in the third quarter, Farrow forced fumbles on back-to-back plays.  The first was recovered by EWC but resulted in a one-yard loss.  On the next play, Farrow ran down the ball carrier after a 73-yard run and caused a fumble at the KSU seven-yard line that was recovered by the Owls.

Rabon averaged 41.7 yards on three punts at South Carolina State, and landed all three inside the 20-yard line as the Bulldogs could not manage any returns.  He had a 46-yard punt that was fair caught at the SCSU 15-yard line, his second kick was 48 yards and downed at the 15, and his last punt was downed inside the one-yard line.

Fair recorded five tackles (four solo) at Central Michigan with an interception — Monmouth’s first forced turnover of the season.  He picked off the pass at the MU 11-yard line and returned it 33 yards to give the Hawks possession near midfield.  Fair also helped limit CMU to just 66 yards of offense in the second half.
