Northern Illinois running back Antario Brown absolutely dominated Week 6.
In a 55-14 thrashing of Akron on the road, Brown accumulated 280 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns on 13 carries, averaging an impressive 21.5 per attempt. His 280 rushing yards tied the season-high by any FBS player, matching Kentucky running back Ray Davis who generated that output against Florida in Week 5.
He was named MAC West Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts.
Brown’s 280 yards checked in as the 11th greatest single game rushing performance in Northern Illinois history with programs great Garrett Wolfe, LeShon Johnson, Jordan Lynch, Stacey Robinson, and Michael Turner accounting for all 10 spots above.
