 MONMOUTH, Ill. —
The home opener for the Monmouth College football
team may have been soggy, but quarterback Alex Tanney (Lexington,
Ill./Lexington) found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and
earned the Midwest Conference Offensive Performer of the Week honor.
Tanney didn’t let a little thing like more than five inches of
rain in 24 hours deter him from passing for 244 yards and three
touchdowns in the Fighting Scots’ 47-2 win over Lawrence Saturday.
Playing on the rain-soaked grass field, the sophomore signal caller
completed 24-of-36 passes to nine different players, including a
24-yard scoring strike in the final minute of the first half to
propel the Scots to a 27-2 lead at intermission. His 195.5 passing
yards per game ranks him third in the conference.
