EUGENE — CJ Verdell’s banner night earned him national accolades.

The Oregon running back was named National Offensive Player of the Week by the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

Verdell ran for a career-high 257 yards and three touchdowns on 23 attempts to lead No. 11 Oregon to a 37-35 win over Washington State Saturday night.

It was the fourth-most rushing yards in Oregon history, the most even by a Duck in Autzen Stadium history and the third-highest rushing total in the FBS this season.

Verdell is the ninth Oregon player to receive Walter Camp National Player of the Week honors since 2004, and the first since former Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota (Sept. 7, 2014).

The National Defensive Player of the Week was Ohio State defensive end Chase Young.
