Duo Earn National and Conference Honors

Lawrence, Bandy claim awards after record-setting performances

SAN DIEGO – Anthony Lawrence and Michael Bandy earned multiple conference and national honors after both produced record-setting weekends.
 
Lawrence was named the STATS National Offensive Player of the Week and the Pioneer Football League Offensive Player of the week. Bandy earned CFPA FCS National Performer of the Week recognition.
 
Lawrence racked up a single-game school-record 556 yards on 24-of-36 passing. He became the PFL's all-time leader in career passing yards with 12,017. In addition to those records, Lawrence also accomplished the following.
  • Became just the 13th FCS quarterback to reach at least 12,000 career passing yards.
  • Tied Josh Johnson (2004-07) for most career touchdown passes in program history with 113.
  • Tied program record with seven touchdowns in a single game.
  • Moved into FCS top-10 all-time in career touchdown passes.
  • Set USD record for most passing yards in a single season (3,496), passing Mason Mills' mark in 2013 (3,463).
  • Became USD's all-time leader in career total offense with 12,061 yards and became first to reach 12,000 plateau.
  • Now has a career-high 3,496 passing yards in single season, eclipsing his previous season high of 3,131 during 2017. He accomplished his career high in 2018 in three fewer games than in 2017.
Michael Bandy was Lawrence's favorite target and had 10 catches for a single-game school-record 324 yards. His average of 32.4 yards per catch is an FCS record (minimum of at least 10 catches).
 
Bandy moved into second place in multiple all-time single-season record categories, including receiving yards (1,427) and touchdown catches (16). He needs 51 more receiving yards and five more touchdown catches to tie the respective single-season records.
 
The duo will look to lead the Toreros to their third straight undefeated PFL season on Saturday at 9 a.m. PT when the team concludes its regular season at Marist.
