MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Quarterback Alex Tanney (Lexington, Ill./Lexington) picked up
his third Midwest Conference Performer of the Week honor after yet
another record-breaking day in a 44-17 win over Illinois College
Saturday.
Tanney threw for a school-record 437 yards
Saturday to break the record of 405 yards he shared with his older
brother, Mitch. Alex, a junior, had tied the previous record his
freshman year against St. Norbert. He completed 33 of 46 passes with
three touchdowns and one interception against Illinois College for
an efficiency rating of 168.71. With more than a season left, he has
thrown for a school-record 9,346 yards and 110 TDs, including 36
scores and 3,044 yards this season.
The win clinched no worse than a tie for the
Midwest Conference title and guaranteed Monmouth their second
consecutive berth in the NCAA playoffs. It will be their third trip
to the playoffs since 2005.
