HCA: Gardner Minshew named Maxwell Award player of the week

Gardner Minshew delivered on Saturday for the Cougs. And I’m not just talking about his mustache.

The grad transfer quarterback threw for 323 yards and 4 touchdowns in Saturday’s win over the Ducks, bringing his streak of 300-yard passing games to seven in a row. The win capped off a perfect day in the national spotlight for the man affectionately known as the Mississippi Moustache, and people around the country took notice.

On Monday, Minshew picked up a variety of honors, including player of the week awards from the Rose Bowl Game committee and the Manning Award committee.
