Petrino Tabbed STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Week

MOSCOW, Idaho– The honors keep rolling in for Mason Petrino, who now takes home STATS FCS National Offensive Player of the Week after his incredible performance on Saturday at Northern Arizona.
 
Petrino led the Vandals to the 60-53 overtime victory at NAU in his final career game.  He finished the game 36-of-43 for 498 yards in the air and six touchdowns.  He added 65 yards and a score on the ground as well.  Petrino put up 563 yards of total offense, the most by an individual in an FCS game this season.
 
His six touchdowns tie the program record.  He joins a list of 12 others, most recently Brian Lindgren in 2002.  Petrino's 498 yards in the air is good enough for the fourth most in program history.  Check out yesterday's article for more on Petrino's historic performance.
 
Jeff Cotton was also recognized, as an honorable mention selection for offensive player of the week, while Nick Romano earned the honorable mention freshman of the week nod.  Cotton caught 18 passes on Saturday, setting a new Idaho record and tying for the most in a game in FCS this season.  His 230 yards were the fifth most in a game in Vandal history.  Romano racked up 286 all-purpose yards, the fourth most by a Vandal all-time.
 
Petrino was also named the ROOT Sports Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week and the College Sports Madness Big Sky Offensive Player of the Week.
