Seth Doege

Seth Colton Doege (born December 18, 1988) is an American football coach and former quarterback, who is the current offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Marshall Thundering Herd.

Randy Doege coached at several high schools in West Texas before becoming the head coach at Crane High School in 2003.

In his freshman season, 2004, Seth Doege was the starting quarterback for Crane High School and led the Golden Cranes to the area round of the playoffs, a loss to the (Tuscola) Jim Ned Indians, who were led by senior quarterback Colt McCoy.

In 2005, his sophomore year in high school, Doege led the Cranes to a 13–1 record (9–1 regular season, plus three playoff wins) before Crane fell to Childress in the class 2A Region I championship game.

After attending quarterback camps during the summer before his junior year, Doege was recruited heavily by several major universities, including the University of Florida, the University of Oklahoma, and Purdue University.

Doege transferred to (Wolfforth) Frenship High School before his junior year of high school, but during August workouts, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in one of his knees and was sidelined for the 2006 high school season.

Despite the injuries, Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach honored the school's earlier 2006 offer of a scholarship, and Doege signed his letter of intent to play for the Red Raiders in February 2008.

As a sophomore at Crane High School, Doege threw for 2,439 yards with 27 touchdowns against only four interceptions.

He also ran for 526 yards and three touchdowns on just 78 carries.

He tore the ACL in his other knee in the summer of 2007, missing his senior high school season.

Doege accepted a football scholarship from Texas Tech as part of the 2008 recruiting class.

He spent the 2008 season as a redshirt player, seeing no action.

He saw limited action in the 2009 and 2010 seasons, though he did start for the Red Raiders in an October 31, 2009, victory against Kansas because of injuries to starting quarterback Taylor Potts and backup Steven Sheffield.

Doege completed 14 of 28 passes for 159 yards and one touchdown in the Kansas game.

Doege also threw for 68 yards and a touchdown in the fourth quarter of Tech's 66–14 win over Kansas State in 2009.

Doege was Texas Tech's starting quarterback for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Doege was born in San Angelo, Texas, to Randy and Melinda Doege.

He has one younger brother.

Doege became Texas Tech's starting quarterback in 2011.

He set a Division I (NCAA) record for the highest completion percentage of quarterbacks throwing 40 or more completions in a game, completing 40-of-44 passes (90.9%) during the September 17, 2011, game against the New Mexico Lobos.

The completion record was previously held by Kliff Kingsbury, another Texas Tech quarterback, who completed 49-of-59 for an 83% completion percentage.

Doege also tied the school record set by Taylor Potts for consecutive pass completions by completing 15 in a row during the same game.

For his performance at the New Mexico game, he was named co-Big 12 offensive player of the week and AT&T ESPN All-America Player of the Week.

Doege threw for a career-high 461 yards in a 41–34 loss to Kansas State on October 15, 2011.

One week after the loss to Kansas State, Doege led the Red Raiders to a 41–38 upset victory over number-three Oklahoma in Norman.

Doege completed 33 of 52 passes for 441 yards and four touchdowns against Oklahoma.

For his performance, he earned recognition as the Walter Camp Football Foundation National Offensive Player of the Week and the Rivals.com National Player of the Week.

Additionally, he was again named the AT&T ESPN All-America Player of the Week, his second time to be so honored during the 2011 season.

Offensive coordinator Neal Brown was also named National Coordinator of the Week by Rivals.

Doege finished the 2011 season with 398 of 581 completions for 4,004 yards and 28 touchdowns.

He ranked eighth among all NCAA FBS quarterbacks in passing yardage.

Entering his senior year for the 2012 football season, he was named to the preseason watch list for five major college football awards: the Davey O'Brien Award, the Walter Camp Award, the Manning Award, the Maxwell Award, and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award.

In the first three games of the 2012 season, Doege led Tech to victories over the Northwestern State Demons, Texas State Bobcats, and New Mexico Lobos.

In those three nonconference games, Doege completed 74.3% of his passes for 858 yards and 12 touchdowns (the most in the NCAA's FBS division after the first three games).

He compiled those statistics despite being pulled from action during the third quarter of the three lopsided Texas Tech victories.

Doege threw three touchdown passes as Texas Tech opened Big XII play with a 24–13 win over Iowa State, but he was intercepted three times as Tech fell to Oklahoma by the score of 41–20.

Texas Tech bounced back the next week on October 13, defeating then-number-five-ranked (AP poll) West Virginia in a 49–14 upset.

Doege threw for 504 yards (a career high) and six touchdowns (tying his career high) in the victory.

After playing college football for Texas Tech University, he was signed by the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2013.

On February 27, 2014, he was signed to the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadian Football League.
