RICHMOND, Va. (Jan. 25, 2008) -- CAA Football will again be represented in this weekend's College Football All-Star game Saturday, Jan. 25, when Delaware's Joe Flacco takes part in the Senior Bowl. Flacco, CAA Football's 2007 Co-Offensive Player of the Year, will be one of three quarterbacks on the Senior Bowl's North roster. The contest is slated to kickoff at 4 p.m. (Eastern) and will be shown live from Mobile, Ala., on NFL Network.
Flacco will be joined by fellow quarterbacks Chad Henne of Michigan and John David Booty of USC. Oakland Raiders' head coach Lane Kiffin and his staff will lead the North team. The Audubon, N.J., native becomes the third player in Delaware history to be selected for the game, joining defensive tackle Dennis Johnson in 1973 and tight end Ben Patrick following the 2006 season.
The senior signal-caller enjoyed an outstanding 2007 season for the Blue Hens, leading the team to an 11-4 record and a berth in the NCAA Division I National Championship game while earning CAA Football Co-Offensive Player of the Year, Eastern College Athletic Conference Eastern Player of the Year and Third Team All-America honors by the Sports Network.
He completed 331-of-521 passes for 4,263 yards and 23 touchdowns with just five interceptions during the 2007 season as he ranked sixth nationally in passing yardage per game (284.2), No. 10 in total offense per game (285.7), and No. 18 in passing efficiency (144.91).
A two-year starter after transferring from Pittsburgh, Flacco posted a record of 16-10 as a starter and established a total of 20 Blue Hen records, including season marks for completions, attempts, passing yards and total offense as well as a career mark for completions. In 26 career games, he notched 200+ yards passing in 21 games, 300+ yards through the air 11 times and garnered a career-best 434 yards in a 59-52 win over Navy in 2007.
