Center Valley, Pa. - After claiming the first Patriot League Football Offensive and Defensive Player of the Week awards, Lehigh senior quarterback Chris Lum and Georgetown junior linebacker Jeremy Grasso added national hardware to their League honors on Monday.
Lum was selected as the Co-Offensive Player of the Week by The Sports Network/Fathead.com, while Grasso was named one of five National All-Stars by College Sporting News. In addition, Fordham senior Patrick Murray claimed the FCS Punter of the Week award from College Football Performance Awards.
Lum had an outstanding game to open the 2011 season by completing 22-of-34 passes for 346 yards and four touchdowns in No. 13/15 Lehigh's 49-24 triumph at Monmouth. The four touchdown passes were a career high, and Lum recorded his second-straight 300-yard passing game and third of his career. He also ran for 27 yards to notch 373 yards of total offense in the game, the sixth-highest total in the country over the weekend.
Lum shared the national honor with Wagner junior Dominique Williams.
Grasso led the nation in both sacks (3.5) and tackles for loss (4.5) over the weekend to lead a dominating effort by the Georgetown defense in a 40-16 season-opening win over Davidson on Saturday. He recorded eight total tackles in the game and also recovered a fumble. The Hoya defense recorded six sacks in the game and held Davidson to -7 rushing yards.
