CINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati quarterback Desmond Ridder (Louisville, Kentucky/St. Xavier) was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the week ending Sept. 29, 2019, the league office announced Monday.
The sophomore signal caller shared the weekly honor with SMU's Shane Buechele.
Ridder threw for 221 yards and four touchdowns, completing 18 of 22 passes in a 52-14 win at Marshall. He added 48 rushing yards to finish with 269 yards of total offense.
His four TD passes tied a career best (vs. ECU, 11/23/18) and stands as his third career game with three or more passing touchdowns after he threw for three – all in the first quarter – last year vs. Alabama A&M (9/15/18).
The Bearcats are back on the field Friday, welcoming No. 18/19 UCF for a primetime matchup on ESPN and 700 WLW AM at 8 p.m. ET in Nippert Stadium. A limited number of tickets are available by calling 1-877-CATS-TIX or visiting the football tickets hub, HERE.
