COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Tech quarterback Tre Lamb has
been named the FCS National Quarterback Performer of the Week for
his outstanding efforts Thursday in leading the Golden Eagles to a
41-31 season-opening victory over Hampton University.
The award was announced Sunday by College Football Performance
Awards (CFPA) on its website. Lamb shared the award with Eastern
Illinois quarterback Jimmy Garappolo, who was also named the
National Performer of the Week.
The senior from Calhoun, Ga., led the Golden Eagles to 548 yards
of total offense while throwing for 339 yards and four touchdowns.
It was the second-highest single-game passing yardage in his career
and matched his career-best for most TD tosses. He also rushed for
18 yards, accounting for 357 yards of total offense.
After that first-week performance, Lamb ranks first in the OVC in
passing efficiency and second in both passing and total
offense.
Lamb was listed in July on the CFPA Quarterbacks Watch List.
