King takes home conference recognition for second consecutive week

Following a performance against ECU that featured dominance on both ground and in this air that left the Pirates taking on water over the weekend, the American Athletic Conference announced Monday that sophomore QB D’Eriq King has been named to the Week 10 Honor Roll.

The award is handed out weekly to the conference’s best five performers who did not earn AAC Offensive, Defensive or Special Teams Player of the Week honors. In his first career start at QB on Saturday, King completed 15 of 21 passes for 330 yards, three passing TDs and another on the ground.
