Krause Named
National Offensive Player of the Week
After completing nearly 95 percent of his passes
last week, UW-Stevens Point senior quarterback Scott Krause has been named
one of four NCAA Division III National Offensive Players of the Week by
Football Gazette.
Krause, a Waunakee native, was 18-for-19 passing
for 269 yards and five touchdowns in the Pointers� 63-0 win over Tri-State
(Ind.) last week. His 94.7 percent completions was a school record and
actually better than the Division III record of 91.3 percent, but he needed
a minimum of 20 completions to qualify for the national record.
He threw three touchdowns from more than 35 yards
and also rushed four times for 49 yards.
Krause was also named the WIAC Offensive Player of
the Week for the third time in his career. He was joined on the national
honor by Principia (Ill.) quarterback Shawn Brown, Linfield (Ore.)
quarterback Tyler Matthews and St. John Fisher (N.Y.) running back Jason
Meyers.
