CLEVELAND – Western Michigan quarterback Hayden Wolff has been named Mid-American Conference Offensive Player of the Week after his performance in WMU's 45-42 win over Ball State on Saturday.
Wolff was nearly perfect throwing the football in the Broncos' come-from-behind win over the Cardinals. He finished 26-for-29 with an 89.7 completion percentage, 265 yards and three touchdown passes.
Wolff's first touchdown pass of the game gave the Broncos a very early 14-0 lead. He then threw a 43-yard touchdown to open the third quarter, giving WMU a 28-21 lead. His third touchdown proved to be the game-winner, giving WMU a 45-35 lead in the win.
Wolff has been on a strong run over the past three games, going 56-for-76 (73.7 percent) for 695 yards and 7 touchdown passes.
Wolff and the Broncos are back and at home for the first time in the month, hosting Akron on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. Tickets are on-sale at www.wmubroncos.com/tickets.
