For the second time in three weeks, Troy Mitchell has been selected in this week's game as Purple & Gold's Player of the Game.The junior quarterback threw for a total of 223 yards and two touchdowns in 16 of 27 in pass attempts. Mitchell added 23 yards rushing to his total in 5 carries and another touchdown.
Mitchell tossed first quarter strikes of 44 yards to Spearman Robinson and 56 yards to second-year receiver Willie Police for his first collegiate TD as WCU pulled out to an early, 14-0, lead. Mitchell then guided the Catamounts 70 yards in six plays, capped by his 19-yard touchdown run, to pull-ahead, 21-10.
Mitchell threw for 223 yards on Saturday, the second-most yards through the air in his WCU career, and his two TD passes represented the second time this season - and the seventh time in his Catamount career - that he had tossed two-or-more touchdowns in a game, Mitchell added his second rushing TD of the season, and the 12th of his career, to account for three TDs in the game.
Purple & Gold congratulates Troy on his selection as this week's Player of the Game.
