SALT LAKE CITY -
Utah wide receiver/punt returner Steve Smith has received a Compaq National Play of the Week award for the third time this year, this time for a punt return for a touchdown against New Mexico on Nov. 13. Smith, who previously won the national award for best punt return and most unusual play, picked up his third such honor for a 52-yard punt return in which he fought through several tacklers, losing his shoe in the meantime, and scored his second punt return touchdown of the day. His first was a 70-yard touchdown run.
