Week 1 Stats: 14-24, 58.3 pass completion percentage, 230 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 77-yard long TD pass
Doyle, the reigning NEC Offensive Player of the Year, picked up right where he left off on Thursday night. The redshirt junior quarterback threw for 230 yards in a hard-fought Saint Francis U defeat at FBS opponent Western Michigan in Kalamazoo, MI. The highlight of Doyle’s night came in the second quarter when the California product found teammate Dawson Snyder for a 77-yard touchdown with 1:12 remaining. The 77-yard bomb not only marked a career-long throw for Doyle; it also marked Saint Francis U’s first passing player over 70 yards since 2019. In addition, Doyle, who went 14-24 for a .583 pass completion percentage, did not throw an interception for the fifth consecutive game, a streak that goes back to an NEC game against Stonehill last season on Oct. 22. This is Doyle’s fourth career NEC Offensive Player of the Week honor.
