Running back Toby Gerhart and kicker Nate Whitaker of Stanford and safety Will Harris of USC are the Pac-10 Players of the Week in football.

Gerhart and Whitaker played key roles in Stanford's 51-42 upset win against No. 7-ranked Oregon.

Gerhart rushed 38 times for a Stanford single-game record 223 yards and three touchdowns covering 1, 4 and 17 yards.

With that performance, Gerhart raised his season rushing total to 1,217 yards, surpassing his own school single-season rushing record.

He also has been named the National Offensive Player of the Week by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

Whitaker was good on three-of-four field goal attempts against Oregon in a game that was in doubt until the final minute.

He connected from 29, 41 and 48 yards, with his only miss coming from 44 yards. He also was perfect on six PAT attempts.

Walter Camp, "The Father of American football," selected the first All-American team in 1889.

Camp, who coached at Stanford for three seasons (1892; 1894-95) is credited with developing play from scrimmage, set plays, the numerical assessment of goals and tries and the restriction of play to eleven men per side.
