Steven Hugney, Shenandoah, So., Quarterback

Hugney, a sophomore from Fairfax Station, Va., had a hand in all three scores for Shenandoah in the Hornets 16-14 triple-overtime victory at Washington and Lee to close out the regular season. Hugney was 29-for-52 passing for 228 yards and a touchdown. He also caught a touchdown pass on a "Philly Special" style play and ran in the deciding two point conversion on SU's possession in the third extra frame. On the two-point play, Hugney rolled right after play fake, spun out of an open-field tackle attempt at the 10-yard line, and beat two defenders to the goal-line for the winning points. Hugney's touchdown pass tied the game with 40-seconds left in regulation. The play covered five yards when Andre Jackson hauled in a post-slant from Hugney to knot the score at 14-all and cap a 12-play 75-yard drive that covered 2:14 of game time. Hugney's touchdown reception to cut W&L's lead to 14-7 at the outset of the fourth quarter came on a two-tiered misdirection play. With Hugney seemingly communicating with the offensive line, the snap went directly to running back Rashadeen Byrd, Jr. He rolled left and pitched the ball to Bryar Wheeler coming on an end-around, who stopped and lobbed a pass to Hugney in the right side of the end zone. For the season, Hugney has thrown for 2,147 yards and 19 touchdowns on 186-of-313 passing. This was his first reception and fifth non-passing touchdown of the year.
