BUFFALO, N.Y. — Buffalo’s Jaret Patterson ran for over 300 yards one week and over 400 the next.
When the Bulls visit Ohio on Saturday, Patterson will be coming off the most productive back-to-back games by a running back in Football Bowl Subdivision history. He smashed the FBS record for rushing total in consecutive games. His 710 yards against Bowling Green and Kent State broke the 22-year-old mark of 668 set by Texas’ Ricky Williams in 1998.
Rutgers' Aron Cruickshank has run back a kickoff for a touchdown three times in his last 11 games. South Alabama’s Jalen Tolbert set a national season high with 252 receiving yards against Arkansas State.
UB announced Monday morning that Patterson has been named MAC Offensive Player of the Week.
