秀色短视频-Webb QB Bailey Fisher has tied a Big South record with three consecutive games with 350+ yards of total offense. Fisher has amassed 452, 384 and 414 total offensive yards during his current streak, and his four career games with 400+ total yards of offense is tied for the most in Big South history (Coastal Carolina鈥檚 Alex Ross, 2012-15). Fisher gained Offensive Player of the Week when he completed 30-of-38 passes for 366 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for 48 yards and a score in leading the Runnin鈥 Bulldogs to a 42-35 victory over Campbell in the NC Pork East/West BBQ Bowl. He was a perfect 10-of-10 on short throws while going 10-of-11 on mid-range passes to help GWU collect 33 first downs and 583 yards of offense.
