BUFFALO, NY – University at Buffalo quarterback Kyle Vantrease was named the Mid-American Conference East Division Offensive Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday.
Vantrease finished 15-for-19 for 231 yards and tossed a touchdown in Buffalo's 69-7 season-opening win over Wagner. The senior signal-caller completed his first seven passes of the game. On the game's second play, he connected with Jovany Ruiz for a 63-yard touchdown to give the Bulls a 7-0 lead they would never relinquish.
It marks the second time Vantrease has won the award. He also took home the honor last season after throwing for 353 yards and four touchdowns in a win over Miami (OH).
Earlier this year, Vantrease was named to the watchlist for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award, given annually to the top quarterback in college football.
Buffalo will next play at Nebraska on September 11.
