Monday Notes/Highlights: Kanoff Named Princeton Athlete Of The Week; Carpenter Named Campbell Semifinalist
October 03, 2016 | Football
Here are the Week 3 Monday Notes following Princeton's Ivy League-opening win over Columbia:
• You can watch the Monday Rewind highlight video here.
• Senior quarterback Chad Kanoff was named the GoPrincetonTigers.com Athlete of the Week, presented by Suburban Transit, following his brilliant performance against Columbia. Kanoff completed 21 of 25 passes (84%) for 230 yards and three touchdowns in the 48-13 win over Columbia. He had touchdown passes to three different receivers, including a 26-yard strike to Trevor Osborne for the go-ahead touchdown. That pass marked the second straight season that Kanoff and Osborne have connected on the game-winning touchdown pass over Columbia.
• Tight end Scott Carpenter, one of three players to catch a Kanoff touchdown pass Saturday, was recently named a semifinalist for the prestigious William V. Campbell Trophy, one of the top scholar-athlete honors in college football. Candidates for the award must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The class is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers and athletics administrators.
• Princeton is the only team in Division I (FBS or FCS) that has scored a touchdown on every red zone appearance of the season. There are 14 teams in the FCS who have scored points on every red zone appearance, but the other 13 have at least one field goal among their scores. Princeton has gone 13-for-13 on red-zone conversions this season; only four of the other 14 teams have appeared there more than 13 times, with three of those having either 14 (Colgate, South Dakota State) or 15 appearances (Montana).
• John Lovett became the third different Princeton player to rush for three touchdowns in a game over the first three weeks of the season. Joe Rhattigan, who scored twice against Columbia, rushed for three scores in the opener, while Charlie Volker matched that effort last week. Lovett rushed for three touchdowns against Columbia, and he now leads the Ivy League with six touchdowns scored on the season. The Princeton record for single-season rushing touchdowns is 19, set by Keith Elias in 1993.
• Princeton ranks second in the FCS in third-down conversion percentage (.549). The Tigers converted on 13 of their first 17 third-down attempts against Columbia last weekend; of the four they didn't convert on, they converted on fourth down three times and punted once.
• Tavish Rice is 15 for 16 on PAT attempts during his freshman season. He has not attempted a single field goal this season, mainly because of Princeton's success in the red zone. Prior to these last three games when Princeton didn't attempt a single field goal, the Tigers had ony three times when they didn't attempt a single field goal over the last 25 games.
