Archer earned CAA Football Offensive Player of the Week honors after registering a career-high 313 yards passing by completing 23-of-37 attempts in the fifth-ranked Tribe’s win over Delaware, 30-20. The Earlysville, Va., native got his night started with a 91-yard touchdown completion to junior Chase Hill for first scoing play of the game. Archer’s toss marked the longest completion in Tribe history, besting the previous mark of 87 yards set in 2004 by Lang Campbell (Dominique Thompson). The senior went on to complete passes to seven different receivers on the evening, including one more TD-toss to Hill.
Co-Offensive Player of the Week - Eric Ward, QB, Richmond
Ward notched CAA Football Offensive Player of the Week recognition after completing 28-of-39 passes for a career-best 394 yards and three touchdowns in No. 1 Richmond’s 38-28 win over VMI Saturday. The Atlanta, Ga., native posted the second-best passing yardage total in school history, upped his career-highs in completions and attempts, and connected on 17 passes of 10-or-more yards. Ward completed TD-passes to three different receivers on the day, including a 53-yard toss to sophomore Donte Boston, and had two wideouts go over the 100-yard receiving mark for the first time since 2005.
Defensive Player of the Week - Arthur Moats, DL, James Madison
Moats, the CAA Football Defensive Player of the Week, was part of No. 7 James Madison’s defense which led the Dukes to a 24-10 win over No. 25 Liberty on the road. Moats, a Portsmouth, Va., native made a team-best nine tackles, including three for a loss of nine yards. The senior also recorded one of JMU’s two sacks on the night, and forced a fumble. Moats and the Dukes’ defense limited the Flames’ offense, averaging better than 325 yards/game, to just 217 in the contest and only 96 on the ground.
Special Teams Player of the Week - Matt Goff, P, James Madison
Goff, the CAA Football Special Teams Player of the Week, played an important role in the field-position battle during No. 7 James Madison’s 24-10 win over No. 25 Liberty.

Goff, pinned against the back of the endzone, punted the ball 65 yards to the Liberty 29-yardline and forced the Flames to drive the length of the field. The 65-yard punt marked the eighth-longest punt in James Madison history.
