Utah has a superstar in the making at running back, and the Pac-12 recognized as much by naming Ty Jordan the Freshman Offensive Player of the Year. Jordan scored six touchdowns and had 723 all-purpose yards. Utah’s three game winning streak coincided with the three-straight 100+ yard rushing games he had end the season, including his career-high 167 rushing yards against Oregon State. His 167 rushing yards against Oregon State was the most by a true freshman since 1995. Jordan earned three Pac-12 Freshman of the Week honors, and he did all that with getting few carriers against USC, and started to get a bit more against Washington.
Ty Jordan named Freshman OPOY, others named to All-Conference Teams
