The only question was whether Venric Mark would earn solo Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week honors, or if he’d have to share the recognition.

Iowa’s Mike Meyer made four field goals in the Hawkeyes’ 18-17 victory over Northern Illinois, so Mark will share it.
NU’s comically quick return man took two punts back for 134 yards at Syracuse, breaking NU’s single-game record. His 82-yard return for a touchdown gave the Wildcats an enormous lift in their dramatic 42-41 victory. Mark tallied 281 all-purpose yards in the game.
It marks his second Special Teams Player of the Week honor. His first came in 2010 after he returned a kickoff to the house at Wisconsin.
