OFFENSE: Rachaad White, RS Sr., RB, Arizona State (Kansas City, MO)
- Second player to win this award back-to-back this season, with Utah's Cameron Rising taking it home in Week Six and Seven. It's the first time a Sun Devil has captured this honor in consecutive weeks.
- Willed his team to a 35-30 road victory over Washington in the pouring rain. With the Sun Devils trailing 24-14 in the fourth quarter, White and the Sun Devil offensive line took over. By the time they were done, ASU had a 35-24 lead, completely dominating the line of scrimmage down the stretch.
- White rushed for 184 yards on 32 carries, scoring a pair of touchdowns. He also added five catches for 53 yards as the leading receiver for the Sun Devils. Accounted for 237 of ASU's 376 total yards of offense (63%). Has recorded 100 all-purpose yards in nine of his 13 career games as a Sun Devil and eclipsed the 200-yard all-purpose mark for the second-straight game.
- It is his fourth 100-yard rushing game of his career, with two coming in the last two games. He has combined to rush for 386 yards in the past two games. That's the most in a two-game span since Eno Benjamin had 432 over two games against Oregon State and Colorado in 2018. His 184 rushing yards are the seventh-best ever by a Sun Devil back in a road Pac-12 game.
- He now has 14 rushing touchdowns this season, moving him into a tie for 8th in ASU single season history. White has multiple touchdowns in eight of his 13 games played at Arizona State and at least one touchdown in 11 games.
- He came through clutch in the biggest moments, recording all three of ASU's third-down conversions in the game, all three of which were in the fourth quarter. He also recorded both of ASU's fourth-down conversions in the game, which also both came in the fourth quarter.
- ASU has rushed for at least 100 yards as a team in 14 straight games. It is the longest streak of rushing for over 100 yards as a team since the last 10 games of 1995 and the first 11 of 1996 - a 21-game stretch over two seasons. The Sun Devils carried the ball 57 times, the most rushing attempts since running 59 times in a 31-28 victory over UCLA on Nov. 10, 2018. On a game-clinching 20-play, 81-yard go-ahead drive, 19 of the plays were rushing, with the offensive line taking over late. ASU's 44 rushing touchdowns over its last 13 games are the most in the FBS over a 13-game span.
- Second time West has achieved this honor, also doing it in December of 2020. Teammate LaDarius Henderson also won this award in Week Five of this season.
- Led the way for a dominant effort from the Arizona State offensive line in the 35-30 road victory over Washington. In extremely wet conditions, the offensive line needed to take over, and they did exactly that. West and company paved the way for 286 rushing yards, coming through in the biggest of moments. In the fourth quarter, the Sun Devils ran the ball all but two plays, on their way to scoring two touchdowns on back-to-back drives. West had a pancake and two knockdowns, while not allowing a sack.
- ASU has rushed for at least 100 yards as a team in 14 straight games. It is the longest streak of rushing for over 100 yards as a team since the last 10 games of 1995 and the first 11 of 1996 - a 21-game stretch over two seasons. The Sun Devils carried the ball 57 times, the most rushing attempts since running 59 times in a 31-28 victory over UCLA on Nov. 10, 2018.
- On a game-clinching 20-play, 81-yard go-ahead drive, 19 of the plays were rushing, with the offensive line willing the team to victory. ASU's 44 rushing touchdowns over its last 13 games are the most in the FBS over a 13-game span
