ANTHONY CRAWFORD | WASHINGTON AND LEE | RUNNING BACK
Crawford, a junior from Swarthmore, Pa., put together a monster day in helping Washington and Lee posted a 42-34 win on the road at No. 21/24 Hampden-Sydney on Saturday. The ODAC's leading rusher cracked the century mark for the fourth time in five games as he carried the ball 24 times for 104 yards and four touchdowns, the latter mark matching his career high from last season in a win (35-0) over Averett. Each of Crawford's touchdowns were necessary in maintaining the Generals' lead with the Tigers repeatedly chipping away. He back-to-back scores bridging the first and second quarters, both via 1-yard bursts. His first made it 14-7 WLU with 54 ticks left in the opening frame and his second made it 21-7 with 9:27 showing on the second quarter clock. Crawford four paydirt for the third time in the third quarter, running in from seven yards out for a 35-21 lead with 9:34 on the board. His last TD provided the points necessary to win by a one score (plus 2-point conversion) margin. He ran in from two yards for a 42-28 advantage with 9:42 to go in the fourth quarter. For the season, Crawford leads the ODAC in rushing yardage (678), yards per game (135.6), and rushing touchdowns (9), having scored at least one TD in all five games this season.
