Johnson MAC East Player of the Week...again

Boom.  Matt Johnson notched his 3rd MAC East POTW award this year, in four weeks of play.  Obviously, he's in a system that is designed to rack up huge numbers and he is really performing in that system.  You do have to give Johnson credit...he took BG to a title in a one attack and now he's excelling in a second system.  Coach said on the MAC teleconference today that the season he spent "on the headsets" has made him a Coach on the field.

He's the first player in the history of our program to have four 400 yard passing games in his career, and he has done it in all four games this season.  His 43 completions on Saturday is 3rd most in school history.

As an aside, wouldn't it have been cool to see what Mark Miller or Brian McClure could have done in this attack?

Here are the honors for Johnson to date this year.
