Utah St. football: Borel named USU student-athlete of the week
Diondre Borel has been named the Utah State Student-Athlete of the Week on Monday.
Borel, a junior quarterback from Oakley, Calif. (Freedom HS) threw for 344 yards on 25-38 passing, tying his career-best for completions and his second-best yardage total, Saturday in USU's 49-36 loss at Hawai'i. He tossed two TD's but was also intercepted twice, snapping the nation's longest active streak for passes without an interception at 228, leaving as the third-longest streak this season. He also rushed for 18 yards and a TD, marking the second-straight game with a rushing and throwing TD in the same game, and it was the fifth time this season and seventh time in his career doing so.
Additionally, Borel topped the 1,000 career rushing yards, becoming the 21st Aggie player to do so and the first Aggie QB to reach that mark, as he is USU's career record holder for rushing yards by a QB, now with 1,002 yards. He now has 2,265 yards passing, becoming the 18th Aggie QB to hit the 2K milestone. Borel has moved into the No. 10 spot on the career passing list with 3,970, needing just 30 yards to reach 4,000 career yards and become the 10th USU signal-caller to reach that plateau.
