If Tom Savage had nightmares this weekend, there’s a good chance Doug Hogue was in them. If Rutgers’ offensive linemen had nightmares, Hogue definitely starred in them. The junior linebacker was an absolute beast in what’s easily Syracuse’s biggest win of the season.
Here’s the full slate of the Big East’s weekly best, straight from the league office…
BIG EAST OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
B.J. Daniels • Fr. • QB • USF • Tallahassee, Fla. Daniels accounted for 445 yards of total offense and three touchdowns to lead USF to a 34-22 win against Louisville. He completed 20 of 34 passes for 304 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 141 yards and two TDs on 22 carries. He became the 28th player in NCAA Bowl Subdivision history — and the first BIG EAST player — to surpass 300 passing yards and 100 rushing yards in the same game.
BIG EAST DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Doug Hogue • Jr. • LB • Syracuse • Yonkers, N.Y. Hogue had 6.5 tackles for loss — the most by a BIG EAST player in a game this season — to go with 3.5 sacks and a forced fumble in Syracuse’s 31-13 win against Rutgers. Hogue had seven tackles in the game to lead an Orange defense that limited the Scarlet Knights to 26 rushing yards and 130 total yards.
BIG EAST SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Jordan Todman • So. • RB • Connecticut • North Dartmouth, Mass. Todman had 286 all-purpose yards, including a 96-yard kickoff return for a touchdown, in Connecticut’s 33-30 win at Notre Dame in double-overtime. Todman’s touchdown on the long kickoff return answered a Notre Dame field goal and allowed the Huskies to enter the fourth quarter tied at 17-17.
