Scott Schreiber's torrid pace at the plate has finally landed him a Big Ten honor.

The senior slugger was named the conference's player of the week Monday after another huge weekend at Michigan State.

Schreiber's statistics through Nebraska's first eight league games are staggering: a .636 batting average, 1.394 slugging percentage, seven home runs, 11 RBIs and 21 hits. Eleven of Schreiber's conference hits have gone for extra bases.
