BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – Bowling Green quarterback Matt McDonald has been named the MAC East Division Offensive Player of the Week for games played through Sunday, Sept. 12., announced the Mid-American Conference. It is the first career weekly honor for McDonald from the MAC.

McDonald (Sr., Newport Beach, Calif.) passed for a career-high 308 yards against South Alabama. The 308 yards was the best by a MAC quarterback in Week No. 2. After South Alabama took its first lead of the game, immediately led the offense on a 3-play 83-yard drive to retake the lead on a 33-yard scoring strike to Andrew Bench (first career reception).
