WCU Player of the Game (vs. Chattanooga) Richard McCollum



Purple & Gold's "Catamount Player of the Game" for the Chattanooga game on October 7th in Chattanooga, TN, is Redshirt senior, All-American Kicker, Richard McCollum, for the first time this season. 



The Catamount Player of the GameRichard McCollum once again brought his perfect kicking into this season's Chattanooga game. McCollum kicked a perfect 7 for 7 PATs and then, with the Cats down 49-50, and just 4 seconds remaining on the clock,  McCollum split the uprights to hit the walk-off field goal,  giving the Catamounts a road victory, 52-50 over the #21 Chattanooga Mocs. 

While many contributed to this team's win, any of them had a game worthy of player-of-the-game contribution. Cole Gonzales threw for 276 years and 3 touchdowns; Desmond Reid had 276 yards rushing and 3 touchdowns; Censere Lee had 87 yards receiving and 2 touchdowns. Their contributions can't be overlooked. However, Richard's 10 points from the kicking game were critical to the Western Carolina win. 


Purple & Gold congratulates Richard McCollum on his selection of Catamount Player of the Game.
