Chattanooga quarterback Chase Artopoeus had a tremendous night as he led an offensive explosion, earning this week’s Tennessee Sports Writers Association Football Offensive Player of the Week honor.
In all, Artopoeus threw for a season-high 396 yards with four touchdowns as he completed 24-of-32 passes. That stands as the ninth-most in Chattanooga program history as well as his fourth game of over 300 passing yards – ranking behind Chris Sanders’ 12 and B.J. Coleman’s six. The 396 passing yards were three shy of tying his career-best of 399 last season against Western Carolina.
The Orcutt, Calif., native added seven rushing yards to put him at 403 yards of total offense, the 12th time a Chattanooga player surpassed 400 total yards and his second after posting 401 in that career game against WCU and the most since Jacob Huesman compiled 428 at New Hampshire in the FCS quarterfinals.
