COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Fresno State junior quarterback Marcus McMaryion was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week, announced by the league on Monday.
Â
McMaryion signals the Bulldogs' fifth MW player of the week nod this season, but first of the offensive variety. The last Bulldog to claim an offensive player of the week award was Derek Carr on Nov. 25, 2013.
Â
McMaryion guided Fresno State to its first win versus a ranked opponent since 2004 with a career-high 332 yards passing, besting a previous high of 327 while at Oregon State (Oct. 29, 2016 at Washington State), doing so against a Boise State passing defense that entered the game allowing only 203.4 yards per game.
Â
Stat Line:Â 23-of-36, 332 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs
Â
Of the Week Notes:
• In one play, effectively sealed the Bulldogs' win by tossing a career-long 81-yard touchdown to pass to extend Fresno State's lead to 26-17 with 8:45 left in the game, answering a field goal that brought Boise State within two points on its previous possession.
• Had a 159.7 QB efficiency rating, completing 64 percent of his passes at a clip of 14.4 yards per completion.
• He was 7 of 11 passing on third downs for 65 yards, picking up five first downs.
• Converted two third downs on the game's opening drive en route to a game-opening touchdown drive, capped by a 5-yard TD throw.
• After not generating points on the first drive of the second half, led the offense to three-straight scoring drives.
• Had 36 attempts, matching a career-high.
• Completed four passes for more than 30 yards, upping his season total to 21.
