Two members of the football team secured awards for their performances in Thursday night’s 40-16 win over the University of Cincinnati Bearcats.
The American Athletic Conference named senior quarterback Greg Ward Jr. and senior linebacker Steven Taylor as players of the week on Monday. The award is the second of the season so far for Ward, as he earned the honor on Sept. 5 for his play against the University of Oklahoma Sooners.
This award is the first of the year for Taylor.
Ward threw for 326 yards and a touchdown with just 12 incompletions on Thursday night.
