Orban Named Canada West Offensive Player of the Week

EDMONTON, Alta. - Canada West announced Monday that University of
Regina Rams quarterback Teale Orban has been named its Offensive Player
of the Week after Orban’s performance in the Rams’ 37-24 win over
Simon Fraser this weekend.

The Rams (3-1) scored five touchdowns in the win over Simon Fraser,
with Orban figuring in each major. He threw four touchdown passes to
four different Regina receivers and added a nine-yard touchdown run
midway through the fourth quarter.

Orban ended up completing 22 of his 35 pass attempts against the Clan
and piled up 254 passing yards.

Orban’s four touchdown passes give him 54 for his career, and he
currently sits in seventh place on the Canada West all-time list. He’s
closing in on Greg Vavra, a former Calgary Dino who has the all-time
lead with 63 career touchdown passes.

The Rams have now produced at least one Canada West weekly award winner
in each of their past three games. Last week, both Jordan Sisco
(offence) and Steve Wilson (defence) were honoured by the conference,
while Chad Goldie (offence) earned recognition after the Alberta game on
Sept. 8.

The Rams return to Regina this weekend for a home game against Calgary
(1-3). Game time is 3 p.m. on Saturday at Mosaic Stadium.

U of R’s Canada West Players of the Week
Sept. 10 - Chad Goldie (offence)
Sept. 24 - Jordan Sisco (offence), Steve Wilson (defence)
Oct. 1 - Teale Orban (offence)
