Having been nominated for multiple accolades in the aftermath of his 146-yard performance at Arizona, Todd Gurley was the undisputed break-out player from Sunday’s contest in Arizona. Because of that, perhaps lost in the shuffle was wide receiver Tavon Austin’s outstanding game.
Austin caught six passes for 96 yards with two touchdowns, adding two carries for 20 yards. The West Virginia product ran end arounds, caught balls over the middle, and even went deep to make a grab on a Nick Foles pass. The performance highlighted nearly all of Austin’s strengths on the football field.
