Buechele Named AAC Offensive Co-Player Of The Week

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AAC/SMU) – Junior Shane Buechele was named the American Athletic Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week, league officials announced Monday.

Buechele helped lead the Mustangs to a 48-21 win over USF on Saturday to secure a No. 24 spot in the AP Poll and a 5-0 record to start the season. It is the first ranking for the Mustangs since 1986, and the first 5-0 start since 1983.

The Arlington, Texas, native threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns, while adding five carries for 27 yards and a score. The three passing touchdowns tied his season high, giving him 10 for the season, and also gave him four straight games with multiple passing TDs.

Buechele was 13-of-13 to open the game, good for second on SMU's all-time consecutive completions list.

For his performance, he was also named to Davey O'Brien's Great 8 List and a Manning Award Star of the Week.

Rodney Clemons was also honored by the conference as a Weekly Honor Roll selection. Clemons had a career-high two interceptions to bring his season total to three. He also added four tackles, including one for loss.

We have the best QB in the conference and may very well have a top 5 QB nationally.
