NEW ORLEANS - Tulane sophomore quarterback Patrick Ramsey was named Conference USA Offensive Player of the Week Monday, marking the second-consecutive week the Ruston native has won the honor.
For the second-straight week, Ramsey threw for a school-record 447 yards on 34-of-49 passing in the Green Wave's 48-28 win over Army. He threw four touchdown passes and an interception. Ramsey first established Tulane's single-game passing record the previous week against SMU, when he became the first Green Wave player ever to throw for 400 yards (404).
Ramsey leads C-USA in both passing efficiency (153.6) and total offense (355.0 ypg). Through three games, Ramsey has completed 68 percent of his passes (87-of-128) and passed for 1,047 yards.
Tulane is off this week and travels to Syracuse, N.Y., to take on the Orangemen Oct. 2.
