The true sophomore set a school record, throwing for 437 yards and three touchdowns on 31-for-46 passing in the Tigers' 28-27 loss at home to Lane College (Tenn.) this past week. That performance came after he ripped Kentucky State's defense for 326 yards and four touchdowns on 19-for-32 passing in a 26-21 win on the road.
Against Lane, wide receiver Dondre Purnell had 14 catches for 188 yards and Reese Sturgis had eight catches for a 187 yards.
Straughan leads the SIAC in passing, having completed 98 of 157 attempts for 1,334 yards and 10 touchdowns and three interceptions.
"That's been typical of them this year,"Stillman coach Teddy Keaton said. 'They've done a good job of executing drives, moving the ball. That's been a problem over the years. We haven't been able to sustain drives. We've been able to do that now. We've been able to move the ball down, play pitch-and-catch and move it down."
