Cal QB Fernando Mendoza, kicker Derek Morris named ACC players of the week
The two players are the third and fourth Bears selections for conference player of the week honors this season.
Cal quarterback Fernando Mendoza and kicker Derek Morris earned ACC Player of the Week honors at their respective positions Monday. Mendoza, who is now second in the ACC in completion percentage this season, turned in a career day against Oregon State with a new personal record of 364 yards passing. He has now had a completion percentage above 70% for three consecutive games. He now also has 2,095 yards passing on the season and is one of just four ACC quarterbacks to break 2,000 yards so far this year entering Week 10.
Morris is now 8 for 9 on field goal tries and tied a school record with five makes on Saturday including his season long of 46 yards.
This is the second time Cal has earned two honors in a week this season after Teddye Buchanan (linebacker) and Nohl Williams (defensive back) earned the awards following the Bears' Week 2 win over Auburn.
