Toledo, OH – Toledo junior quarterback
Logan Woodside (Frankfort, KY) and junior linebacker
Ja'Wuan Woodley (Columbus, OH) were each honored by the Mid-American Conference for their performances in Toledo's 31-26 loss to Ohio on Oct. 27. Woodside was named the Mid-American Conference West Division Offensive Player of the Week, while Woodley earned MAC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Woodside completed 32-of-46 passes for 438 yards and three touchdowns vs. Ohio, including a school-record 98-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver
Jon'Vea Johnson in the third quarter. Woodside's completions and attempts were a career high, while his passing yardage was his second most as a Rocket. Woodside now has a Toledo single-season record 31 touchdown passes, surpassing the all-time mark of 29 set by Bruce Gradkowski in 2003 and 2005, and leading the nation.
Woodley had nine tackles and a career-tying best 3.0 tackles for loss vs. the Bobcats. He also recorded one sack and one forced fumble.
The Rockets (6-2, 3-1 MAC) travel to Akron (5-4, 3-2 MAC) this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
