SEWANEE, Ga. - Juan Joseph of Millsaps College, a 6-2, 178-pound junior quarterback from Edgard, La., has been selected the SCAC Football Offensive Player-of-the-Week for games played Saturday, Sept. 15.
Joseph set career-highs in completions and yards in a 43-10 rout of Austin College on Saturday, hooking up with 13 different receivers and connecting on 32 of 44 passes for 355 yards and three touchdowns. His pass efficiency rating for the day was 158.45.
Joseph's numbers have been phenomenal through just nine quarters of work in the first three games, hooking up with double-digit receivers in each contest and completing 81 of 122 passes (66 percent) for 870 yards, 10 touchdowns and just one interception.
He leads the SCAC in both passing yards (290.0 yards per game) and passing efficiency (151.7) and is third in total offense (280.7 yards per game).
Joseph is on pace to break the school's single-season record of 21 touchdown passes that he set last year and is just 26 completions shy of breaking the career record in completions (365) set by Beau Pollard from 1995-98.
