COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.  The National Football Foundation Colorado Chapter (NFFCC) on Tuesday announced that Western Colorado quarterback Josiah Roy has been named its Player of the Week.

In No. 4 Western's 41-20 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference victory on Nov. 7 against visiting Colorado School of Mines, Roy threw for 305 yards and 2 touchdowns on a 21-for-30 afternoon. He added 25 yards on 5 carries on the ground for an offense that produced 518 yards during the victory over the Orediggers.

His long of 84 yards to Caden Measner on the Mountaineers' second possession led to a 3-play, 67-second touchdown drive in the first quarter, and soon after added a 4-play, 65-yard drive that spanned the first and second quarters.

With the score tied at halftime, 17-17, Roy engineered an offense that controlled the clock in the second half. A third quarter scoring drive went 92 yards in 10 plays and a 75-yard, 10-play drive finished early in the fourth quarter.

The game was Roy's third in throwing for over 300 yards this season and his eighth with multiple touchdown passes.
