CHARLESTON, S.C. – James Madison quarterback Cole Johnson has been selected as the CFPA FCS National Performer of the Week following his record-setting outing, the College Football Performance Awards announced on Sunday.
Â
Johnson set the program's single-game record with six passing touchdowns in JMU's 45-21 win against Elon. He completed 88% of his passes, going 22-of-25 for 307 yards. That included 20 consecutive completions, as he went 21-of-22 in the first half alone. He threw for five touchdown passes in the first half, which was also a JMU single-half record.
Â
The Virginia Beach, Va., native has thrown for 1,997 passing yards and 21 touchdowns with just two interceptions in his eight starts. He ranks second nationally in completion percentage (69.7%), sixth in passing touchdowns, seventh in pass efficiency (161.4) and 10th in point responsibility per game (18.0).
Â
Johnson and the Dukes return to action on Saturday, Nov. 6 when they host Campbell for Homecoming. Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. at Bridgeforth Stadium and will be televised on NBC Sports Washington Plus.
