To no one's surprise, Lehigh senior quarterback Brandon Bialkowski has won the Patriot League's Offensive Player of the Week award for the second time this season.
Bialkowski (seen below right against Princeton) led Lehigh to a 34-27 comeback win over No. 7/10 New Hampshire on Saturday. He completed 31-of-52 passes for 359 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead score on a 15-yard strike to Derek Knott with 12:19 to play.
Bialkowski has thrown for at least 300 yards and two touchdowns in all four games this season, and stands in the top five nationally in passing yards, completions and total offense per game. He completed passes to seven different receivers, with both Lee Kurfis and Sergio Fernandez-Soto going over 100 yards. Bialkowski is the first Lehigh quarterback since Chris Lum (2011) to throw for 300 yards or more in four consecutive games.
In Brandon Bialkowski_0624addition, Lehigh placed two players on the honorable mention list.
Senior defensive back Tyler Ward had nine tackles, including one for a loss, and three pass breakups against New Hamsphire.
Also, freshman defensive back Brandon Leaks  averaged 28.3 yards on six kickoff returns in Lehigh’s win.
