MORGANTOWN, W. Va. – West Virginia junior quarterback Geno Smith has been named BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against Louisville on Saturday.
Smith turned in his third 400-yard passing performance of the season in West Virginia’s 38-35 loss to Louisville, completing 31 of 44 passes for 410 yards and three touchdowns without an interception. The yardage total ranks fifth on West Virginia’s single-game chart, and it gives Smith 6,197 career passing yards, good for second in school history. Smith, who has thrown at least one touchdown pass in 12 consecutive games, leads the BIG EAST and is seventh nationally in passing yards, averaging 347.2 yards per game.
The Mountaineers (6-3, 2-2 BIG EAST) next travel to Cincinnati (7-1, 3-0 BIG EAST) for a Saturday afternoon game at Paul Brown Stadium (65,535) on Nov. 12 at noon. The game will be televised on ABC.
