Brian Schmiedebusch MAC East Special Teams

Brian Schmiedebusch was named the MAC East Special teams Player of the Week for his performance against the OU Bobcats.

Here's the info the MAC gave.

He punted four times and averaged 43.0 yards per punt in a 49-0 win over Ohio on Nov. 12. He downed two punts inside the Bobcats' 20-yard line. His first punt came in the third quarter, a 40-yarder which was downed at the one-yard line. The only punt returned by Ohio went for -4 yards. His final two punts, which traveled a combined 97 yards, were unable to be returned.

Congratulations to Brian.  He has had a very effective week against OU and BG is 4th in the MAC in net punting this year.  He has not reached the success he had in his sophomore year, but he has improved over last season.  He has had an outstanding career at BG and stabilized a position that had a ridiculous amount of struggle over the years before he got here. We'll be counting on him in the Buffalo game in what are anticipated to be difficult conditions.
