CLEVELAND, Ohio - For the third time this season Tyler Sheehan earned MAC East Offensive Player of the Week honors, which was announced by the conference this afternoon (Nov. 19). Sheehan, who is the only player in the MAC to earn three player of the week honors this season, had 307 combined yards last weekend in a 31-17 win over Buffalo as he celebrated his 20th birthday.

The Cincinnati, Ohio native was 20-of-29 passing for 248 yards and two touchdowns. He also had one reception for 25 yards and a score. Lastly, he chipped in with 36 yards rushing on eight carries.

As mentioned before, this is the third time the sophomore has been named MAC East Offensive Player of the Week. His other honors include a 388-yard, two touchdown effort in a 32-31 win over Minnesota and a 270-yard, four touchdown performance in a win over Temple.

On the year, the first year starting quarterback is 269-of-423 (64%) for 2,898 yards and 20 touchdowns. He has two receiving touchdowns on the season, the only quarterback in the nation with this feat, and has 84 rushing yards and three scores.

Sheehan and the Falcons host Toledo this Friday at 2:30 in the regular season finale for both squads.

Good for Tyler. He had the best day that he's had in quite awhile Saturday, IMO. He threw the ball real well and it was especially nice to see the deep ball return to the offense.

I didn't see any of the 2nd half, but the first half he had was outstanding.

Damn, Williams got hosed for the ST player of the week. He had 4 KO returns for a 22.5 average. The winner was some punt returner from Temple who averaged 11 yards on 5 punt returns and had a 18 yard reception.
