Augsburg's Jordan Berg named to D3Football.com Team of the Week D3FOOTBALL.COM TEAM OF THE WEEK -- CLICK HERE
Berg completed 37-of-53 passing for 397 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, leading the Auggie offense to touchdowns on their first five drives to build a 35-14 halftime lead, en route to the dominating victory, improving Augsburg's record to 3-0 on the season, 1-0 in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play. The 397-yard effort was the ninth of his career (23 games), and improved his career stats to 594 completions, 998 attempts, 6,507 yards and 56 passing touchdowns. Berg already holds school records for career completions and touchdowns, and has a chance to break the attempt and yardage records in next Saturday's (10/4) game at Hamline. He is just 24 passing attempts away from the school record of 1,022, and just 117 yards away from the passing yardage record of 6,624, both held by Derrin Lamker (1993-97). On the season, Berg has completed 95-of-147 passes for 956 yards with nine touchdowns and just two interceptions. In the latest NCAA Division III national statistics, Berg ranks first nationally in pass completions per-game (31.67), ninth in passing yardage per-game (318.67), 20th in total passing yardage (956) and eighth in total offense per-game (321.3). His 95 completions are seventh-highest among Division III quarterbacks, and his two interceptions are the second-fewest among the 22 Division III quarterbacks who average 22 or more completions per-game. It marks the first time that Berg has been named to the national Team of the Week by D3Football.com, a national website that covers NCAA Division III football. It is the second time an Auggie has been named to the D3Football.com Team of the Week this season; wide receiver Royce Winford (SR, Brooklyn Park, Minn./Osseo HS) was named to the squad on Sept. 17. Berg was also named MIAC Offensive Player of the Week on Monday. With the win over the Oles, the Auggies are 3-0 for the first time since the 1999 campaign. Augsburg travels to face Hamline next Saturday (10/4) at 1 p.m. in St. Paul, with a chance to improve to 4-0 for the first time since the 1973 season (Augsburg started 5-0 en route to a 7-2 overall finish).
