He ranks second in the nation in total passing yards, fifth in passing yards per game (327.2), 11th in touchdown passes, sixth in total offense per game (354.8), 19th in pass efficiency (170.5) and 20thin completion percentage.
Junior defensive end Frankie Feaster of the Muhlenberg football team was named Centennial Conference defensive player of the week.
Feaster was in on five tackles in the Mules' 34-14 win at Ursinus, and they were all behind the line of scrimmage. He had two solo sacks, one assisted sack and two assisted tackles for loss, resulting in losses of 17 yards.
Feaster was one of the leaders of a defensive effort that held the Bears to 21 yards on the ground - 175 below their average.
For the season, Feaster leads the CC with seven sacks and is tied for fourth with 8½ tackles for loss.
Muhlenberg (5-0, 5-0) entered the game 10th in Division III against the run, allowing 48.8 yards per game, and lowered that average to 43.2 with its effort against the Bears. Over the last three weeks, the Mules have held their opponents to 69 rushing yards on 86 carries.
The weekly honor is the first for Feaster, but not the first for his family. Older brother John Feaster '17 was named CC player of the week twice as a defensive back.
