Saskatchewan Roughrider quarterback Darian Durant and slotback Andy Fantuz have been acknowledged with Player of the Month awards for September. Durant was unanimously selected as the Gibson’s Finest Offensive Player of the Month while Fantuz was unanimously selected as the Gibson’s Finest Canadian Player of the Month.
Durant wrapped up the month of September with a stellar game in Hamilton on Saturday, in the team’s 32-25 victory over the Tiger-Cats where he completed 23 of 31 pass attempts for 418 yards and three touchdowns. The 28-year-old tallied 1,387 passing yards in September after completing 88 of 140 pass attempts and threw five touchdowns. In addition the quarterback added 19 carries for 152 yards and one rushing touchdown.
Fantuz proved he is one of the CFL’s elite receivers as he finished the month with 22 catches for 449 yards and one touchdown. Already this season the Western Ontario product has tallied 60 catches for 944 yards and four touchdowns, putting him just 56 yards away from his first 1,000 receiving yard season.
This marks Durant’s first Player of the Month award this season, while Fantuz received the same honour for the month of July.
