The college football world has found out what CSU fans have known for a while.

Michael Gallup is pretty good and catching the football and running with it.

Colorado State University fans are always ready for Gallup to explode, and the senior did that Saturday night in a 44-42 win over Nevada.

The performance grabbed the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Gallup some national headlines after he had 13 catches for 263 yards and three touchdowns. He was two yards short of a CSU single-game record and didn't have a drop.

Pro Football Focus handed Gallup a 99.9 receiving grade on a scale of 0-100.

Nick Stevens had a 158.3 passer rating when targeting Gallup. His overall performance grade from PFF was 99.4, the top among any player in college football over the weekend.

Through seven weeks, Gallup is PFF's top-rated receiver in the nation with a season grade of 93.1.

He was trending on Twitter late Saturday night and his performance was filled with highlight-worthy plays. He was also named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, the first Ram to win that honor since 2015.

Gallup, who is on the watch list for the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver, leads Division I FBS players with 948 receiving yards (135 per game).

He's on pace to break CSU's single-season record of receiving yards (1,750) set by Rashard Higgins in 2014, assuming the Rams qualify for a 13th game.
