TCU running back Darius Anderson, who helped lead his Horned Frogs to a big win over Oklahoma State on Saturday, has been named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the fourth week of the college football season, Cindy Smoak, vice president of SPORTyler, announced on Tuesday.

Anderson ran for a career-high 160 yards and three touchdowns, along with 41 receiving yards, in a 44-31 upset victory over sixth-ranked Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

His first touchdown of the game gave TCU the lead for good at 13-7, while his final score sealed the victory. He had scoring runs of 28, 6 and 42 yards. The 42-yard touchdown, on a third-and-4 with 2:37 on the clock in the fourth quarter, salted away the game after Oklahoma State cut the deficit to 37-31.

It was also TCU’s longest run from scrimmage this season.

This is Anderson’s second 100-yard game of the season and third of his career. He was also selected as the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week.

Darius Anderson is a graduate of George Ranch High School in Rosenberg.
