UTSA quarterback Frank Harris

UTSA quarterback Frank Harris, who led the Roadrunners to an overtime win over Army on Saturday, has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the second week of the college football season, Cindy Smoak, Executive Director of SPORTyler, announced on Tuesday.

Harris, who attended Schertz Clemens High School, passed for a career-high 359 yards and three touchdowns, including the game winner to De’Corian Clark in OT, to help UTSA rally from a 14-point deficit for a 41-38 victory over Army West Point on Saturday in West Point, New York.

The senior quarterback connected on 32 of 45 passes. The 359 yards was just eight yards shy of the school record.

Trailing 28-14 midway through the third quarter, Harris directed the Roadrunners to three straight touchdowns, taking the lead 35-28 with Brenden Brady’s 1-yard run.

UTSA bounced back after a 37-35 three-overtime loss to then-No. 24 Houston last week and ended Army’s six-game streak of wins in home openers.

The national leader in total offense at 394.5 yards per game, Harris currently paces C-USA and ranks sixth nationally with 348.0 passing yards per game, and his six passing TDs stand 10th among FBS players. He has thrown for 5,989 yards and 48 touchdowns on 548-of-827 passing (.660) and rushed for 1,313 yards and 16 TDs as a Roadrunner. He is one of only 12 active FBS quarterbacks who have passed for more than 5,000 yards and rushed for at least 1,000 yards.

This marks Harris’ second career Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week award, as he also was honored after the 34-31 victory against UAB last November.

The Roadrunners (1-1) will travel to Austin to face Texas on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and the game will air on Longhorn Network and KTBB 97.5-FM.

Harris joins last week’s winner, Oklahoma State quarterback Spencer Sanders.
