Football notebook: Kudos for Mack, Taggart

Sophomore TB Marlon Mack earned three weekly honors in the wake of his sparkling night (21 carries, 230 yards, two TDs) in Saturday's 44-23 upset of then-No. 21 Temple.

On Monday, Mack, whose 272 total yards included a 20-yard touchdown reception, was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week. Mack now leads the conference in rushing (118.3 ypg), surpassing Temple's Jahad Thomas, who fell to No. 2 (103. 5 ypg) after being held to 65 yards by the Bulls.

Mack also was named National Performer of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards, and the AAC's Offensive Player of the Week by College Sports Madness.
