Mordecai Named Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National POTW, Rice Honorable Mention

TYLER, Texas (SPORTyler/SMU) -- Tanner Mordecai was named the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the second time this season, while Rashee Rice was named to the organization's honor roll.

For his efforts in the 39-37 win over Louisiana Tech, Mordecai was also named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week, a CFPA Honorable Mention National Performer of the Week, to Davey O'Brien's Great 8 and a Manning Award Star of the Week.

Mordecai went 36-for-48 passing for 395 yards and five touchdowns against La. Tech, including a TD pass to Reggie Roberson, Jr., on the final play to secure the victory.

The five TDs tied for fourth in a game for a Mustang, his 446 yards of total offense were seventh and the 395 passing yards were 17th.

Mordecai has thrown at least four TD passes in each game this season (7 vs. ACU, 4 vs. UNT), and the seven against ACU to open the season set the SMU single-game record. Mordecai is also the first Mustang since Garrett Gilbert in 2013 to throw for 300 yards in the opening three games of the season.

He currently leads the nation with 16 TD passes, ranks third in passing efficiency (194.3), sixth in passing yards (1,022) and total offense (368.7) and eighth in completion percentage (.730).

Biletnikoff Award Watch List selection Rice, who was named an honorable mention selection, had four receptions for 73 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Rice also tipped the ball to Roberson, Jr., one the final play.

The TDs against La. Tech gave Rice at least one in each game in 2021 (4 total). The two receiving TDs were a career high, and the pair accounted for his second career multi-TD game.

Rice is second on the team with 207 receiving yards off 10 catches and leads the team with four TDs.

SMU travels to face TCU Saturday at 11 a.m. CT. The game can be seen on FS1.

Awesome!

At this rate it won't be long before Mordecai is starting to get some mentions as a Heisman candidate.
