LOUISVILLE – Sun Devil running back Cam Skattebo’s incredible effort against No. 5 USC was recognized by the Paul Hornung Award and Louisville Sports Commission.
Skattebo was named to the Hornung Weekly Honor Roll, an award given to the players who display the most versatility in that particular week. It would be hard to be more versatile than Skattebo, as the running back thrived in many roles against the Trojans.
CAM DOES IT ALL
Skattebo had a lot of responsibility in the Sun Devils matchup with No. 5 USC and he was extremely successful. He finished with 111 rushing yards and a touchdown on 20 carries, adding 79 receiving yards and a touchdown on four catches, and providing a bonus in the passing game completing 2-of-3 passes for 43 yards. He literally stuffed the stat sheet when he was asked to punt, catching the Trojans off guard with a 53-yard boot, and flipping the field for the Sun Devils. He received a 73.3 grade from PFF for his efforts, the 21st-highest grade among all Pac-12 players this week, fourth among Pac-12 HBs, and 25th among FBS HBs.
