The Walter Camp Football Foundation has announced that Memphis quarterback Brady White has been chosen as the National Offensive Player of the Week for games ending Oct. 17.
White led Memphis to a 50-49 win against UCF as the Tigers overcame a 21-point second-half deficit for their largest come-from-behind win in program history. He completed 34 of 50 passes for a career-high and school-record 486 yards and six touchdowns, while he also had 30 rushing yards with another score, tying The American’s single-game record with seven total touchdowns.
White threw two touchdown passes in the final 3:41 of the fourth quarter, including the game-winning TD with 1:08 left to help Memphis end a 13-game series slide against the Knights.
