Purdue quarterback David Blough continues to rake in the awards and accolades for his Week 3 performance against Missouri.

Monday, the Rose Bowl Game announced that Blough was this week’s Player of the Week after throwing for 572 yards and three touchdowns against Missouri. He also accounted for 588 yards of total offense, breaking a B1G single-game record.

Unfortunately for Purdue, Blough’s effort wasn’t quite enough, as the Boilermakers fell to Missouri 40-37, losing on a field goal at the end of the game.

Blough becomes the second Purdue player to earn the Rose Bowl Player of the Week honors this year. After Week 1, wide receiver Rondale Moore earned the honor after totaling 313 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns against Northwestern.

Purdue lost that game as well, falling 31-27.

Through three weeks, Blough has completed 70.4 percent of his passes this season with three touchdowns and one interception.
