MUSCLE MLK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK


 
Michael O'Connor (Orleans, Ont.) had a breakout day in Saturday's 51-48 win over the Manitoba Bisons.

The highly-lauded Penn State transfer carved up the Bisons defense to the tune of 398 yards and four touchdowns, completing 26 of his 38 passes on the night.

A 6'5", 230 lb, prototypical pocket passer, O'Connor spread the ball around efficiently, with eight deifferent receivers making at least one catch.  O'Connor also flashed a huge arm in the win, hitting wide receiver Alex Morrison on a 42-yard bomb in the first quarter.
