http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER They'd certainly trade any honors in for a chance to play another game, but Lehigh quarterback Michael Colvin and linebacker Sam Loughery made the final games of their career count on Saturday. They both excelled in the 38-21 win over Lafayette and were honored by the Patriot League today. The details from a league release: Patriot League Weekly Awards (Nov. 17) Offensive Player of the Week Mike Colvin, QB, Lehigh Sr., 6-3, 230 (Morristown, N.J./Morristown) Colvin won game MVP honors of the Lehigh-Lafayette contest by completing 25-of-41 passes for 362 yards and four touchdowns and rushing for 82 yards and a score in a 38-21 comeback win over the Leopards on Saturday. He set a career-high for rushing yardage and total offense, and tied his career high for passing yards and touchdowns. Colvin was 9-of-16 for 145 yards and two touchdowns in the second half as Lehigh outscored Lafayette 21-0 after intermission. Colvin led Lehigh to a 10-1 record, its third-straight 10-win season. He is named Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week for the second time. Defensive Player of the Week Sam Loughery, LB, Lehigh Sr., 6-1, 215 (Glenshaw, Pa./Pitt Central Catholic) Loughery filled the stat sheet with 10 tackles, 0.5 sacks, two tackles for loss and an interception in Lehigh’s 38-21 win over Lafayette on Saturday.
