This is the fourth straight week a Cajuns player received weekly SBC honors.
Masson, who lost his starting job to Gautier and hadn’t attempted more than 13 passes in a game this season, finished the night 21-of-29 passing (72.4%) for 211 yards with a pair of touchdowns and no interceptions.
Masson’s first TD pass came on his first pass of the game – a fourth-and-goal play from the Trojans’ one-yard line. Leading 7-3 in the second quarter, Masson directed a six-play, 79-yard scoring drive which culminated in a 26-yard touchdown pass.
The Miami native picked up his second career SBC weekly honor. His first honor came Oct. 4, 2010, after passing for a then career-high 310 yards at North Texas.
The Cajuns have now won five consecutive games and have tied the SBC record for best start to begin a season (only loss is to No. 6 Oklahoma State).
