Downs, a senior from Pocatello, Idaho, was a quarterback’s worst nightmare in Tech’s win over Georgetown.
Downs pulled in three interceptions in the 29-22 win, including running one of them back for a 43-yard touchdown. His three interceptions tied a school record in a single game. He also contributed five tackles in the winning effort.
This is Downs’ first career Erck Hotels / Frontier Conference Player of the Week award.
