He was one of four names on this list this week, following a career-high 193 rushing yards and 342 all-purpose yards, setting a new American Athletic Conference record. He scored two touchdowns, one on a 56-yard burst through the Cincinnati defense, the other on a 100-yard return of the second half kickoff, as the Owls defeated the Bearcats 34-26 in the conference opener.
