Southeast Missouri State's Snyder, McRoberts share OVC football honor after upset

Southeast Missouri State senior quarterback Kyle Snyder and junior receiver Paul McRoberts teamed up for the winning touchdown with 4.6 seconds left in Saturday's 24-23 upset victory over Southeastern Louisiana at Houck Stadium.

On Sunday, the two Redhawks shared the honor of Ohio Valley Conference Offensive Player of the Week.

McRoberts' dramatic 2-yard reception in the final seconds was his seventh of the game as he finished with 89 yards total. He also pulled in a 12-yard TD reception from Snyder in the third quarter.

Snyder completed 16 of 31 passes for 141 yards. He also rushed 17 times for 95 yards, including a 15-yard gain on a draw play up the middle on the play preceding the game-winning throw.

Southeast (2-2) opens its OVC schedule at 6 p.m. Saturday when it visits Tennessee-Martin.
