October 13, 2006
WESTMONT, Ill. – Allegheny College senior Jimmy Savage (North Canton, Ohio/Hoover) was recently named to the Don Hansen Football Gazette National Team of the Week for the week ending October 8, 2006.
Savage threw for a school-record 400 yards on 38-of-58 passing, also school records. The 400 yards through the air by Savage is the third highest total in the league this season, while his 58 pass attempts tops the rest of the league field by 11 and his 38 completions by eight. Savage also moved into third in career pass completions, passing Mike Ganey (1966-69), fourth in career pass attempts, passing Kyle Adamson (1994-97) and fifth place in career passing yards, passing John Logue (1986-98).
Savage’s current pace of 297.6 yards per game computes out to 2,976 yards passing on the season, with the current pace set to break the single season school record by over 800 yards. His projections in passing touchdowns (26), completions (236) and pass attempts (396) will top the single season school record by five, 51 and 90, respectively.
The Gators take on the Lords of Kenyon College tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. in the Gators’ second home game of the 2006 season.
