The Big Sky Conference named Eastern Washington running back Quincy Forte as the league’s Offensive Player of the Week, North Dakota cornerback Alex Tillman the Defensive Player of the Week and Montana State returner Shawn Johnson the Special Teams Player of the Week.
Forte rushed 17 times for 190 yards and scored four touchdowns in No. 2 Eastern Washington’s 52-51 road victory over No. 14 Montana State. Forte averaged 11.2 yards per carry.
Tillman registered the first interception of the season for North Dakota and returned it 92 yards for a touchdown in a 13-3 victory over Stony Brook. With North Dakota holding a 6-3 lead late in the third quarter, Stony Brook drove to the North Dakota 7-yard line. Tillman stepped in front of a John Kinder pass, evaded Kinder at midfield and went untouched the rest of the way. It was the longest interception return in North Dakota’s Division I history.
Johnson amassed a school-record 374 all-purpose yards with three touchdowns in Montana State’s 52-51 loss to Eastern Washington. Johnson had 141 kick return yards on four returns with a long of 49. He also had 21 punt return yards, 150 rushing yards and 62 receiving yards. He caught two TD passes and scored on a 70-yard run. Johnson’s 374 all-purpose yards were the sixth-most in single-game Big Sky history.
