After tying a school record and becoming the first player in school history to post more than 300 all-purpose yards in a game, senior running back Craig Needhammer has earned his fourth career Warrior of the Week award. Needhammer accumulated 304 all-purpose yards against the Cougars, notching a career-high 239 yards rushing, three yards receiving and 62 yards on kick returns to lead the team in a 28-14 win. The 239 yards rushing are the third-highest total in school history, behind only two performances from Tim Deasey in 2001. Along the way, Needhammer moved within 285 yards of the school's all-time rushing record of 3,665 yards set by Josh Kleingelter (2007-10) and the 200-yard performance helped him tie Brian Thompson's school record of 15 100-yard rushing games set from 1995-98. Needhammer also scored his 10th rushing touchdown of the season, becoming just the third player in program history to notch 10 rushing touchdowns in back-to-back seasons.
