Freshman QB Recorded Career Highs in Passing Yards & TD Passes in Win vs. No. 11 Villanova
RICHMOND, Va. and BOSTON – Max Brosmer (Roswell, Ga.), a freshman quarterback at the University of New Hampshire, was named the CAA Football Rookie of the Week as well as recipient of the New England Football Writers/Grinold Chapter Division I Gold Helmet Award on Monday.
Brosmer recorded career highs in completions (25), passing yards (276), touchdown passes (three), completion percentage (78.1%) and passer efficiency rating (175.26) to lead UNH to a 28-10 come-from-behind home win against No. 11 Villanova University on Nov. 2.
UNH returns to action Nov. 9 (3:30 p.m.) at No. 2 James Madison University. The Wildcats' next home game is the Senior Day regular-season finale Nov. 23 against the University of Maine. Group tickets, with options featuring all-you-can-eat barbeque seating in the Touchdown Tents at field level, start at $9 and are available by calling (603) 862-4000 or by CLICKING HERE.
With New Hampshire trailing 20-7 at halftime, Brosmer was a perfect 10-for-10 for 132 yards and two TDs in the second half to engineer the comeback.
On UNH's first possession of the third quarter, he had a pair of 15-yard completions to lead the Wildcats to a touchdown drive that lifted the 'Cats within 20-14 at 10:57. Then on New Hampshire's next drive, Brosmer completed back-to-back passes of 30 and 31 yards, the second of which was a TD pass to Dylan Laube (Westhampton, N.Y.) to give UNH a 21-10 lead at 5:34.
Brosmer connected with Laube for another touchdown – this time from 21 yards – to extend UNH's lead to 28-20 at 8:49 of the fourth quarter. Still leading by eight points, New Hampshire began its next drive at the UNH 11 with 5:35 remaining. On a 3rd-and-3 play from the UNH 27, Brosmer's seven-yard pass extended the drive at 2:58; that completion allowed the Wildcats to run another minute off the clock.
The rookie signal caller gave UNH momentum early in the game. One play after a 27-yard completion, Brosmer found Brian Espanet (Hopedale, Mass.) for a 15-yard TD that gave New Hampshire a 7-0 lead at 10:13 of the first quarter.
Brosmer has been named CAA Football Rookie of the Week three times; he was previously honored Sept. 23 and Oct. 14.
Brosmer is UNH's second recipient of the Gold Helmet Award this season. Classmate Oleh Manzyk (Langhorne, Pa.) was feted Oct. 7.
