Farquhar notches more honors

MOSCOW - Idaho senior kicker Trey Farquhar was honored as the Star of the Week for the second time in three weeks by the Lou Groza Place Kicker Award, presented by the Palm Beach County Sports Commission.

The four-year Vandal kicker connected on all four field goal attempts and both PATs in Idaho's 26-18 win over New Mexico State on Saturday - hitting from 55, 53, 39 and 32 yards to move his total to 10 for 11 this season.

The 55 yarder as time expired in the first half tied his career long, and the 53 yarder in the third quarter gave him his ninth career field goal of 50 yards or longer - an Idaho school record.

The Groza Star of the Week honor goes along with his Western Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week award and his College Football Performance Awards National Kicker of the Week honor, also for the second time in three weeks.
