WASHINGTON, Pa. – Washington & Jefferson College junior quarterback Jake Pugh tossed four first half touchdowns Saturday in a 33-28 win over visiting Waynesburg University in the regular season finale at Cameron Stadium. Pugh was once again a catalyst for a Presidents victory. A strong contender for PAC Offensive Player of the Year, the junior signal caller completed 27-of-36 passes for 355 yards and four touchdowns in the win over the Yellow Jackets. Pugh finishes the regular season with 32 passing touchdowns and just five interceptions. Pugh has totaled 2,752 yards passing in 2023. The win improves the Presidents to 8-2 overall. The Yellow Jackets finish their season at 2-8 overall. W&J will await word of a possible ECAC bowl berth. The pairings for the 2023 ECAC bowls will be announced on Monday afternoon.
