– Sophomore quarterback Scott Buisson has been
announced as the D2Football.com National Offensive Player of the
Week.
To earn this week’s award, Buisson racked up 640 yards of total
offense (424 passing, 216 rushing), while being responsible for
seven UAM touchdowns in a 51-48 win over Henderson State this
past Saturday. The 640 yards of total offense breaks a Gulf
South Conference record of 591 (Marty Washington, West Alabama,
1993) and re-sets his own UAM record of 570 against Harding
during the 2007 season.
Also a factor in the selection was his 20 consecutive passes
completed, which ties a NCAA Division II single-game record.
In conjunction with the national honor, Buisson was also named
the Gulf South Conference Offensive Player of the Week, marking
the second time this season.
Over his 15-game career, Buisson has been named the Gulf South
Conference Player of the Week four times, deemed the 2007 GSC
Freshman of the Year, named national player of the week twice
and broke the UAM record for total yards of offense in a single
game twice.
