UNI’s McElvain named MVC Newcomer of the Week

Sports

September 10th, 2019 by admin

ST. LOUIS – The Missouri Valley Football Conference named UNI freshman quarterback Will McElvain the Newcomer of the Week after leading UNI to 34 straight points en route to a 34-14 win over Southern Utah Saturday in Cedar Falls.

McElvain went 17-of-25 for 262 yards and three touchdowns to lead UNI to the win. He was 14-of-20 for 234 yards and three TDs before the half when the Panthers took their foot off the gas pedal.

He completed six of his first eight passes and threw three touchdowns to three different receivers while not throwing an interception.

He also ran for 23 yards on eight carries. He was on the passing end of Deion McShane’s circus catch and play that ended up the No. 6 play on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 Saturday night.

With two games under his belt, he is 42-67 for 490 yards and four touchdowns.

It is the first player of the week honor for McElvain and the second honor of the year for the Panthers. Freshman kicker Matthew Cook was named the National Special Teams Player of the Week after his 4-4 performance against Iowa State in week one.

Here is the latest Mid-America sports news from The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Chiefs lost wide receiver Tyreek Hill to a dislocated clavicle in their win over Jacksonville. But star quarterback Patrick Mahomes escaped serious injury when a player rolled onto his ankle, resulting in a sprain that briefly sidelined him. Now, the Chiefs have to adjust a few things as they prepare to visit Oakland.

UNDATED (AP) — Josh Sargent’s red hair could become as known in St. Louis one day as the Gateway Arch if he develops into an American soccer star. Sargent left St. Dominic High School in O’Fallon, Missouri, in the middle of 10th grade and scored four goals at the 2017 Under-20 World Cup. He agreed to sign with Werder Bremen when he turned 18 the following February, then scored in his senior international and Bundesliga debuts.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska has lost after leading in the second half in five of 14 games under second-year coach Scott Frost. The Cornhuskers blew a 17-point halftime lead in losing 34-31 in overtime at Colorado on Saturday. It was Nebraska’s biggest blown lead since the Bo Pelini-coached team squandered a 21-3 advantage in the second quarter against UCLA in 2013. Nebraska hosts Northern Illinois this weekend. The Huskies won in Lincoln in 2017.
