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.
