WEEK 6 NEC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK: Ryan Petras, Duquesne, Wide Receiver, Freshman, 5-9, 180 lbs., Bethel Park, PA/Bethel Park, Week 6 Stats: 82 receiving yards, 3 receptions, 2 touchdowns,...Petras was the leader of a crop of Duquesne flankers that racked up 239 receiving yards in Saturday's 20-point NEC-opening win over visiting Stonehill. The first-year wideout from neighboring Bethel Park, PA nearly quadrupled his season receiving yard total of 23 after catching three balls for a team-high 82 yards and two touchdowns for the Dukes, who eclipsed the 30-point plateau for the second-straight week in the 34-14 triumph. Petras extended his team's lead to 20-0 just before halftime with his first career touchdown catch, a 21-yarder from veteran quarterback Tyler Riddell. The rookie doubled his touchdown total and put his team up by a 27-0 count after he hauled in a 52-yard pass from Riddell in stride and ran into the end zone untouched with 1:50 left in the third. With the win, Duquesne is off to a 1-0 start to NEC play for the third time in as many seasons. Petras became the first Duke to garner NEC/Atlantic Tomorrow's Office Rookie of the Week accolades this season, and the first since Luke Miller took home the award on Sept. 16, 2024. - NEC Football

WEEK 5 NEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Tyler Riddell, Duquesne, Quarterback, Graduate Student, 6-1, 190, Tampa, FL/Chamberlain (Gardner-Webb)...Last Week's Stats: 15-23 completions, 201 passing yards, 3 passing touchdowns, 0 interceptions, 63 rushing yards, 8 carries, 7.9 yards per carry, 2 rushing touchdowns...Riddell was the ringleader of a Duquesne offense that put up seven touchdowns and scored 44 points in a 26-point win over New Haven on Saturday. The graduate signal caller accounted for five of the Dukes' scores after he threw for three touchdowns and rushed for two more. It marked Ridell's second five-touchdown outing this season as earlier this month, the Floridian threw for five scores against Lincoln on Sept. 6. Against the Chargers, he completed 15-of-23 passes for 201 yards and zero picks while adding a career-high 63 rushing yards on eight carries.

After New Haven opened the game with a score, Riddell connected with Joey Isabella on three consecutive drives for touchdown passes of two, six and 61 yards to make it a 28-6 lead in the third quarter. It marked his third game this season - and ninth of his career that also features stops at Gardner-Webb and ETSU - with three-or-more touchdown passes. Later in the game, he padded Duquesne's lead with touchdown runs of 10 and eight yards. Averaging 171.4 passing yards per game, Riddell is second in the NEC with 11 touchdown passes. This is his first career weekly award from the NEC. - NEC Football
