For the second consecutive week, Sean Tucker was named the Atlantic Coast Conference’s Running Back of the Week. The second-year player tied SU’s program record with his fifth-straight 100-yard rushing game, an achievement he reached with time still left in the second quarter.
Tucker is second in the nation in rushing yards with 948 rushing yards, averaging 6.1 yards per carry. He’s second in the country in all-purpose yards too, averaging 167.4 per game.
In SU’s 17-14 loss to Clemson, Tucker had 177 all-purpose yards, but slowed down in the second half after a strong first half outing.
