Lloyd, Knight win OVC weekly honors

Posted Sunday, September 28, 2014, at 3:47 PM

Southeast Missouri State wide receiver and Cauthersville graduate Peter Lloyd was named the Ohio Valley Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week, it was announced Sunday.

Lloyd caught 10 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns in the Redhawks 31-27 win over the University of Tennessee at Martin on Saturday night.

Lloyd shared the award with Jacksonville State quarterback Eli Jenkins.

Southeast punter Alex Knight earned Specialist of the Week honors. He averaged 45.7 yards on his three punts in the Redhawks victory.

Knight and the special teams were singled out by Southeast coach Tom Matukewicz for being a key in the win. The Redhawks downed one punt at the 1-yard line and faked another, which led to a 26-yard gain by tight end Ron Coleman.

Southeast quarterback Kyle Snyder and wide receiver Paul McRoberts shared the Offensive Player of the Week honors last week and kicker Ryan McCrum was named Specialist of the Week earlier in the season.

It's hard to argue with the initial success under a new head coach for a football program that hasn't always been close to .500.

I agree, Dustin. I thought yesterday's win was particularly impressive given it's a road game without your top receiver and running back (and that's absolutely no disrespect to the players that are stepping up big time and making a huge difference) and the potential of a let-down after that huge win against SELA. There could be some bumps in the road as they continue but I am encouraged by what I'm seeing thus far. Keep it up boys!! Go Redhawks!!
