Paul Senn Named Ironman Of The Week In Fan Vote
September 19, 2013 | Football
Bowling Green, Ohio - In voting by Bowling Green's fans, junior linebacker Paul Senn earned the Iron Workers 55 Ironman of the Game award for his performance against Indiana in week three this past Saturday.
Senn found an opportunity to place his stamp on Saturday's football game against Indiana late in the first quarter. With BGSU trailing 7-0, the Falcons forced Indiana to punt and Senn stormed through the line untouched on fourth down. He reached the Indiana punter just as he was ready to kick the ball, smothered the ball right off the punter's foot and never broke stride as he raced to the end zone for the tying score. Senn was credited with a 56-yard touchdown and became the first BGSU player to record a touchdown off of a blocked punt since 2002.
Â
On top of that, Senn also recovered a fumble on special teams early in the second quarter. After Tyler Tate's 45-yard field goal put the Falcons ahead 10-7, BooBoo Gates stripped Indiana return man Damon Graham on the ensuing kick-off and Senn pounced on the loose ball to give the Falcons great field position at the Indiana 31.
Senn beat out Shaun Joplin, DJ Lynch and Matt Johnson for this week's award. BGSU hosts Murray State Saturday at 3:30 pm in a game aired exclusively on ESPN3 (CLICK HERE for a preview). Following the game, fans will again have the opportunity to vote for the Ironman of the Game by going to BGSUFalcons.com/Ironman.
