The Mountain West announced on Monday that New Mexico running back Richard McQuarley was named as the conference’s Offensive Player of the Week.
The running back tied a 21-year-old school record for most rushing touchdowns in a game, set by Reginal Johnson against Tulsa during the 1996 season.
McQuarley rushed for 179 yards and five touchdowns on 11 carries in the Lobos 56-38 win over Air Force.
The running back said he the offensive line did a great job in preparing for the game. He said their film study was exceptional, and it seemed like the line had a plan for everything.
