Football Athletes of the Week
Tri-Offensive Player of the Week
Saint John's University senior quarterback Alex Kofoed
(Cold Spring, Minn./Rocori) was 25 of 37 passing for 337 yards and five
touchdowns as No. 3/4 Saint John's defeated Gustavus Adolphus 40-0 on
Saturday, Oct. 13 in St. Peter. Kofoed's passing performance broke two
school records formerly held by current Carleton head coach Kurt Ramler
(1993-96). Kofoed set the school's all-time mark for touchdown passes
(88) with his fifth of the game on a 13-yard reception to Aaron
Blackmore with 12:14 left in the third quarter. In addition, he
recorded his ninth career 300-yard passing game, setting a new school
record. Kofoed now needs 36 yards passing to become the MIAC's all-time
leading passer in conference games, currently owned by former Bethel
quarterback Scott Kirchoff (1999-03). Kofoed has completed 67.6 percent
of his passes (140 of 207) for 1,744 yards and 20 touchdowns and leads
the MIAC in passing efficiency (164.3) so far this season.
Tri-Offensive Player of the Week
University of St. Thomas junior quarterback David Sauer
(Cold Spring, Minn./Rocori) threw for three TDs, had a career-best 441
passing yards, had no interceptions and ran for a TD in Saturday's
50-33 comeback win over Augsburg. Sauer completed 35-of-46 passes and
rallied UST from a 33-23 deficit in the third quarter as he led four
scoring drives of 64, 39, 70 and 60 yards in a game-closing 27-0
flurry. He completed 17-of-20 passes in the second half. He also rushed
for 30 yards to finish with 471 yards of total offense. He guided a UST
offense that rolled up 33 first downs and 610 yards of offense. Sauer
moved over 3,400 passing yards in 16 career games.
