We are multiple conference games into the season, and standings are starting to sort themselves out. It will be interesting to track who makes the late season push to move up the standings and earn playoff bids. Before we look forward and predict, let's look back on Week 5 and see who dominated the gridiron on offense. We have a lot to choose from, so let's get right into it!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["685855"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Coming into the season we already were big fans of the D.C. Everest OT. Watching the recent film has me even more excited for his future. Latendresse has a great frame with long arms. His Week 5 performance highlighted his pass protection traits. Oscar is very light on his feet, able to get deep into his pass set slide against speed rushers. He uses his length to make first contact and steer edge rushers. The hands clamp on and control with strength while the feet move him smoothly. The balance is there to change direction well also. There is a lot here. Size, strength, athleticism, finish.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6508f58867a85"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16268135/65053c6c6899990b64416a0f' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6508f58867adb"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["533154"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cemu003eStats: 207 All Purpose yards, 2 TDsu003c/emu003ernrnIn his first full game of the season because of injury Case's standout RB [player_tooltip player_id='533154' first='Anthony' last='Liggins'] went off. The sophomore is a special playmaker. He has that knack to make the outstanding play look easy. Anthony is so explosive. He can jump cut or juke with elite lateral agility and his acceleration out of his cuts or breaks makes it look like the defense has stood still. Anthony's vision and feel for the position are also elite. He sees the field so well, and if he can get the ball in space is an absolute nightmare to try and contain. Liggins is a mismatch nightmare that already has the FBS level interested and offering.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6508f58867b3a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14544696/650761f1bed6c508e4ac6ef2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6508f58867b5b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["384557"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"u003cemu003eStats: 35 Carries, 275 Yards, 5 TDsu003c/emu003ernrnWhat a week for the Whitefish Bay junior! Harry took over the matchup with West Bend East. Harry is an intriguing prospect because of the talent and his versatility. Through his first two seasons we have seen Harry all over the field. This season he has really found home at RB. The traits fit the role very well. At 5'9u0022 175 lbs he is an undersized back, but he plays to his strengths. Between the tackles the junior thrives with his vision, burst, and short area agility. He can move so quickly in any direction while playing inside a phone booth. That athleticism allows him to be elusive even in a crowded front seven. Once he breaks loose, or gets outside contain, Bortolotti has enough long speed to create the big highlight play runs.

Lodl has a quick, efficient throwing motion, and his lower body mechanics help add that extra bit of force behind the ball. The senior doesn't panic in the pocket either.

Collins is proving that he is a workhorse RB with a compact, strong 5'10u0022 190 lbs frame. Christian has an exciting blend of burst and power. He is a one cut runner that explodes downhill when he sticks his foot in the ground. Collins also has the lateral agility and balance to be able to cut laterally when he square up with a defender in the open field. The instincts make him look like a next level prospect as well. He reacts so quickly to what he sees and finds his way to the open field so consistently, whether with power or burst.

What a night for the junior who planted himself firmly on my radar. Right away, Sam grabs your attention with his college quality burst and long speed.
