The Numbers:
In last week's game versus the Greenville College Panthers, Rothe led the Knights to their highest offensive production of the year with 402 yards of total offense and 6 touchdowns. The freshman QB passed for 223 yards with 13 completions on 25 attempts for 4 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He also had 13 rushing attempts for 78 yards and a score, 1 reception for 4 yards, and returned 5 kickoffs for 143 yards with an average of 28.6 yards per return. Through his various positions, Rothe contributed to 455 of the Knights 609 total yards in their 46-39 loss to the Greenville Panthers. With the help of Rothe's performance in this game, the Knights nearly matched their entire total of 43 points scored from the previous five UMAC games. In the three weeks since Rothe has taken over at quarterback, MLC's passing yardage and completion percentage have nearly doubled and the Knights have gained 1,041 yards and scored 68 points compared to just 543 yards and 14 points in their first three UMAC games. While the offense still has a few issues to overcome, the Knights look to have found a solid leader for the next few years. As Rothe develops he will be a major threat to teams around the UMAC through his many roles on the field.
