Marshall recognized for performance in win over USC

Arizona State junior running back Cameron Marshall has been nominated for the FRS Running Back Performance of the Year for his role in the Sun Devils' 43-22 win over No. 23 USC, Intersport announced, Sept. 26.

Marshall gained 142 rushing yards and matched a career high with three touchdowns in ASU's 21-point victory. He put the Sun Devils on the board first with a 70-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter and added two more scores late in the second half. Marshall is the first running back this season to gain more than 100 yards on the ground against the Trojans.
