10/21/19 - Preston Hutchinson, rSr/2023, Chattanooga, 6-2, 194 (DS#52 QB) + More +

OCT 21/WEEK 8 MAC WEST DIVISION OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Eastern Michigan QB Preston Hutchinson,...Eastern Michigan sophomore quarterback Preston Hutchinson (Mason, Ohio) made his first collegiate start and led a 34-27 win over in-state rival Western Michigan. Hutchinson accounted for four touchdowns as he completed 31-36 passes for 357 yards and three passing touchdowns. He added nine yards rushing and his first-career rushing touchdown. His 86.1 completion percentage was the second-highest by an Eastern Michigan quarterback since the 1999 campaign, falling short of only Glass' 90-percent game against Coastal Carolina, Aug. 31.

Hutchinson's perfect game-winning drive was part of a fourth quarter that saw him complete 11-of-12 passes for 140 yards and a pair of long touchdown passes. He also made plays with his legs, finishing with 10 carries for 29 sack-adjusted yards, including a six-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter that gave Eastern Michigan its first lead of the game, 17-14. Hutchinson is the ninth Eastern Michigan quarterback to earn a start in the past decade, and the third signal caller to get his first career start against Western Michigan. Overall, his completions, attempts, passing yards, and touchdowns are all the best of any new quarterback since 2009. Furthermore, his 357 yards passing are tied for 24th-best in program history. - MAC Football

OCT 7 SOUTHERN CONFERENCE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Ty Boeck, Chattanooga, So., LB, Soddy Daisy, Tenn.,...Chattanooga linebacker Ty Boeck had a team-high 12 tackles and forced two fumbles in the Mocs' 34-17 win at Mercer.

Ford's 8-yard scoring run made it 14-14 early in the second quarter and an Ulmo field goal just before halftime put the Mocs up 17-14.
