Football: Graham honored

Pitt’s junior running back Ray Graham was named Big East Offensive Player of the Week on… Pitt’s junior running back Ray Graham was named Big East Offensive Player of the Week on Monday for his performance against Buffalo.

Graham was a clear standout in the game after rushing for 201 yards and three touchdowns on 29 carries. The New Jersey native also had 50 receiving yards to go with his dominance on the ground.

His rushing total was the second-best of his career, trailing only a 277-yard performance against FIU last season. That mark was second-best all-time at Pitt, behind only Tony Dorsett’s 303-yard performance against Notre Dame in 1975.

Graham’s 201 yards were also second-best on the ground in college football’s opening week, coming in behind Malcolm Agnew of Oregon State who rushed for 223 yards.

Graham will get a chance to impress the home crowd again this weekend when Pitt hosts Maine on Saturday at Heinz Field. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
