Nov 01, 2022 | Football
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Coming off a performance that saw him register 176 total yards and two touchdowns in the Wildcats' 48-0 win over No. 9 Oklahoma State, Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn was named the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award Player of the Week on Tuesday.
Â
Vaughn finished the game with 158 rushing yards – which included a 62-yard touchdown – while he hauled in four passes for 18 yards, including a one-yard touchdown catch with seven seconds left before halftime.
Â
It was Vaughn's fifth 100-yard rushing game this season to tie for ninth in school history, while it was the 17th in his 31-game career. During the contest against the Cowboys, Vaughn moved into third place in school history in career rushing yards (2,948) and career all-purpose yards (4,125), into a tie for fifth place in career rushing touchdowns (30), from outside the top-10 to sixth place in career rushing attempts (512) and into 10th place in career points scored (222).
Â
Vaughn, who is the fourth fastest player nationally since 1996 with 2,500 rushing yards and 1,000 receiving yards in a career, is just 52 rushing yards away from hitting the 3,000-yard rushing mark. If he were to accomplish it this week against Texas – his 32nd-career game – he would tie Saquan Barkley (Penn State) and Jeremy McNichols (Boise State) for the fastest since 1996 to hit 3,000 yards on the ground and 1,000 yards through the air.
Â
Additionally, Vaughn sits at 902 rushing yards this year as he looks to become just the third player in school history with multiple 1,000-yard rushing seasons. He would join Darren Sproles (2002, 2003, 2004) and Daniel Thomas (2009, 2010) on that list.
Â
Kansas State, ranked No. 13 in this week's Associated Press Top-25, hosts Texas this Saturday in a battle of two of the top teams in the Big 12. The game kicks off at 6 p.m., and will be shown on FS1. Standing-room only tickets remain for the game against the Longhorns and the Dillions Sunflower Showdown against Kansas on November 26. Those can be purchased online at www.k-statesports.com/tickets or by phone at 1-800-221-CATS.
