CAA Football Weekly Awards: John Robertson wins Offensive Player of the Week again!

The CAA once-again awarded John Robertson with their Offensive Player of the Week honors. It was the fifth time that Robertson was honored with the award this season and the third week in a row -- monopolizing the award. The Junior QB is a strong candidate for this season's Walter Payton Award, which honors the top offensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision.

He led the Wildcats in a very tough road game in Williamsburg on Saturday, passing for 267 yards on 20-of-32 passing and added 63 yards on the ground. He accounted for four touchdowns for the fifth consecutive week, half of them in the air.

So far this season, Robertson has completed 69.2% percent of his passes for 1,723 yards and 22 touchdowns. He has rushed for 422 yards and another three touchdowns as well. With a passing efficiency rating of 194.4, he currently leads the nation at the FCS level, placing third for passing touchdowns and fourth in completion percentage.
