Jones Named MAC East Defensive POW
September 05, 2011 | Football
Chris Jones, a member of the Bowling Green State University football team, was named Mid-American Conference East Division Defensive Player of the Week after his efforts versus Idaho last Thursday. The announcement was made by the league office on Sept. 5.
While Jones had just three tackles in the 32-15 win at Idaho, he made the most of all three opportunities. The junior had three tackles for loss, two sacks and a forced fumble as the Falcons held Idaho to just 280 yards of total offense and 2-of-12 on third downs.
Jones also recorded a safety following a Brian Schmiedebusch punt, that was downed at the 2-yardline. The quarterback sack put the Falcons up by three scores early in the fourth quarter.
