Oct. 16– Senior quarterback Kole Goodchild received high recognition this week as he was named the D2Football.com National Co-Offensive Player of the Week following his record setting performance in a 46-41 victory over MSU Moorhead on Saturday afternoon at Griffin Stadium.

Goodchild completed 31-46 for 433 yards and five touchdowns in the high scoring affair. His touchdowns went for 11, 12, 18, 50 and 39 yards against the Dragons.

He set individual school records in completions, yards and touchdowns while helping the team set new records in first downs (32) and team passing yards (471). He also helped red-shirt freshman wide receiver Calvin Simon post a school record four receiving touchdowns and established new career-highs for Simon in catches (9) and yards (198) while helping senior Antwon Williams to career-highs with 10-133.

Goodchild and Simon shared NSIC Offensive Player of the Week honors for their efforts.

Goodchild shared National Offensive Player of the Week honors with Brad Roach of Catawba who completed 37-64 for 486 yards and four touchdowns in a 55-49 comeback win over Carson-Newman.

Adding to the impressive performance was the Goodchild shared reps under center with backup Hayden Vavra due to an ankle injury that limited his work in practice leading up to the Golden Bears home game.

This is the first time in Goodchild's career that he has received National Offensive Player of the Week honors and the first time that Concordia has had a National Player of the Week awarded by D2Football.com.
