Lewis MAC East Offensive Player of the Week

In the least surprising thing ever, Roger Lewis was named the MAC East Offensive Player of the Week after the Memphis game.  This is interesting...Memphis had allowed just 272 passing yards this season and Lewis went for 261, the second biggest game in school history and 7th in MAC history. He leads the nation in receiving yards.  Congrats to Roger!

From the MAC Release

Bowling Green sophomore wide receiver Roger Lewis (Pickerington, Ohio) exploded against a Memphis defense which had allowed just 272 yards through the air in their first two games of the season, catching seven passes for a career-high 261 yards and three touchdowns on Saturday in a 44-41 loss. Lewis' 261 yards receiving were second-most in school history and seventh most in MAC history for a single game. His three touchdown performance marked a career-high for the sophomore and the first such performance since the 2013 season at Bowling Green. Lewis now leads the nation with 510 receiving yards through three games, and became the first player in Bowling Green football's 96-year history to have consecutive 200-yard receiving games.
