Gubrud wins national FCS honor
An 80 percent passing performance is pretty rare, but the supporting cast made it happen for Eastern Washington University senior quarterback Gage Gubrud.
The NCAA Football Championship Subdivision All-American has been selected as the FCS Performer of the Week by College Football Performance Awards after completing 82.3 percent of his passes (19 of 23) to finish with the 17th 300-yard passing performance of his 28-game career in EWU’s 58-13 season-opening win over Central Washington on Sept. 1.
Gubrud finished with 337 yards, no interceptions and five touchdown passes, giving him 79 in his career (fourth in school history, just five from third). It was part of a 677-yard onslaught by the Eagle offense.
