Lewis captures 3rd Big Ten Player of the Week honor

After torching Akron last weekend in a 41-24 win in Bloomington, sophomore quarterback Kellen Lewis was named Big Ten offensive player of the week Monday.\nLewis is now a three-time recipient of the award in his 13 career starts at quarterback.\nThe Jacksonville, Fla., native ran for 199 yards against the Zips – the third-highest rushing total by a quarterback in IU history. Former IU quarterback Antwaan Randle El holds the top two slots in the category with 210- and 209-yard performances.\nLewis also ran for two touchdowns and completed 19 of 24 passes for 137 yards and three more scores through the air. His completion percentage of 79.2 is the second-highest for a game in school history.\nAside from recording gaudy numbers in the game against Akron, Lewis is statistically one of the better quarterbacks in the NCAA through three weeks of play. After three games, Lewis is first in the nation in rushing for quarterbacks (105.7 yards per game), 15th in total offense (320 yards per game) and 24th in passing efficiency (151.4).
