MINNEAPOLIS -- Augsburg College quarterback
Marcus Brumm (SO, Lakeville, Minn./Lakeville South HS) was named Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Football Co-Offensive Player of the Week, it was announced on Monday.
In
Augsburg's 31-28 victory over Carleton on Saturday, Brumm contributed 368 yards of total offense -- completing 19-of-31 passes for 206 yards and a touchdown, while also rushing for 162 yards on 21 carries with two touchdowns, a 7-yard run in the first quarter and a 77-yard rush in the third quarter.
The 162 rushing yards was the most for an Augsburg player in a single game since Marcus LeVesseur rushed for 181 yards in a 2004 game against St. Olaf. Augsburg produced 510 yards of total offense in the game, including 304 rushing yards -- the most rushing yards for the pass-oriented Augsburg offense in a single game since 2004.
A transfer from Division II Minnesota State-Mankato, Brumm is currently averaging 340.4 yards of total offense per-game -- a total tops among
MIAC players in overall statistics by 87 yards per-game over the second-place total. He is also leading the conference in passing in overall games, with a 295.0 yards-per-game average.
In conference games-only, Brumm also has league highs of 328.3 total offense yards per-game and 262.0 passing yards per-game.
Brumm was named MIAC Co-Offensive Player of the Week with Gustavus quarterback Jordan Becker, who threw for 310 yards and five touchdowns in the Gusties' 34-33 win over Pacific Lutheran.
Augsburg, now 2-3 overall and 1-2 in MIAC play, travels to face Concordia-Moorhead this Saturday in Moorhead, Minn.
