Pitt freshman tailback LeSean McCoy has been named Big East Conference Offensive Player of the Week for his performance against Syracuse.
McCoy rushed for 140 yards and a touchdown on 31 carries in Pitt’s 20-17 victory Saturday at Heinz Field. He became the first Panthers back in seven years and only the third freshman in school history to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark. He now has 1,065 rushing yards.
