TCU running back rushed for 190 yards in the win over Cal
IRVING, Texas -- The Big 12 Conference has announced TCU running back Zach Evans as its Offensive Player of the Week following his performance in Saturday's 34-32 win over Cal.
Evans rushed for a career-high 190 yards on 22 carries, including a momentum changing 51-yard touchdown run with 11 seconds left in the first half. With the Horned Frogs trailing 19-7, Evans broke free for his score to pull TCU within 19-14 at the break. TCU then opened the second half with a 15-play, 75-yard drive to take its first lead in the contest.
Evans' 190 yards and 22 carries were both the most in a game by a Horned Frog since Sewo Olonilua ran for 194 yards on 32 attempts in the 10-7 overtime win against Cal in the 2018 Cheez-It Bowl.
A sophomore from Houston, Evans has topped 100 yards three times in the last four games. He is the first Horned Frog since Olonilua in 2019 with a rushing touchdown in four consecutive contests. Evans has a team-best 217 yards rushing this season on an 8.0 per carry average.
