Temple senior running back Montel Harris has been named the Under Armour Owlsports.com Co-Athlete of the Week, for his record-breaking performance on Saturday in the Owls', 63-32 win at Army. In what was a difficult vote this week, the Office of Athletic Communications awarded a rare share of this week’s honor between two athletes. Harris shares this week's award with redshirt senior cross country runner Travis Mahoney.
Harris recorded his fourth 100-yard performance as an Owl. He led the Owls in rushing with a career-high 351 yards and a career-best seven touchdowns, both BIG EAST and school records, on 36 carries. He had 173 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries in the first half alone. It marked the 26th 100-yard rushing game of his career (4th at Temple, 22 at Boston College) which leads the nation. It also marked the first 300-yard rushing performance of his career.
In nine games, Harris is the Owls’ leading rusher with 948 yards and 12 touchdowns on 165 carries. He is also the team scoring leader with 72 points. Harris also leads the BIG EAST Conference in rushing and scoring.
In the NCAA stats, Harris is No. 25 in rushing (105.33), No. 49 in scoring (8.00), and No. 49 in all-purpose running (117.78).
Additionally, Harris was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week, the National Running Back of the Week by the College Football Performance and the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week by College Sports Madness. He also earned Helmet Stickers from ESPN.
