CLEVELAND, Ohio - Kenny Lewis and Jimmy Scheidler, members of the Bowling Green State University football, team, have been named Mid-American Conference Players of the Week this afternoon (Sept. 1), announced by the league officed. Lewis earned the league's defensive award, while Scheidler was named the MAC's Offensive Player of the Week.
Lewis, a senior defensive back, recorded six tackles, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery, one pass breakup and one interception in the Falcons' 27-17 win over #25 Pittsburgh, the Falcons first win over a nationally-ranked opponent in five years. Lewis also would have walked away with a 65-yard touchdown return if not for an inadvertent whistle in the second half.
Scheidler entered last Saturday's contest with one career reception for minus-4 yards, but in the 2008 season opener the junior recorded three receptions for 30 yards, including two scores. He also had a 22-yard reception on the Falcons winning drive in the third quarter.
Lewis, Scheidler and the Falcons play host to Minnesota this Saturday (Sept. 6) at 7:30 p.m.
