TEMPE, Ariz. — For the fourth time this season, ASU running back Cam Skattebo has been recognized by the Big 12 as he was named the Offensive Player of the Week on Monday after his dominant effort against Oklahoma State. Skattebo earned the honor after accumulating 274 all-purpose yards (153 yards rushing and 121 yards receiving, both team highs) and scoring three touchdowns.
His 274 all-purpose yards were the most by a running back in the Football Bowl Subdivision last week, according to the Big 12 . Skattebo was just the sixth player in the history of the Big 12 Conference to have at least 150 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards in the same game. Skattebo's fourth weekly honor is the most by a Big 12 player this season.
Only three other players have won a weekly award more than once. Colorado's Travis Hunter was named the Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 16 and the Offensive Player of the Week on Oct.
28. Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby was named the Newcomer of the Week twice, on Sept. 2 and Sept.
30. Baylor's Bryson Washington has also been named the Newcomer of the Week twice, on Oct. 21 and this week.
Skattebo's honors have all been for Offensive Player of the Week and have come on Sept. 9, Oct. 7, Oct.
14 and this week. This comes as the 5'11", 215 lb. running back is getting noticed nationally.
On3 included him in their top 10 for the Heisman Trophy this week. However, it appears that Skattebo may not be able to repeat as the Offensive Player of the Week next week, as head coach Kenny Dillingham announced that he is doubtful for Saturday's game against Central Florida due to an undisclosed injury. ASU's game against UCF will kick off at 5 p.
m. Arizona time on Saturday at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe. Fans are asked to wear gold to the game.
