LOGAN, Utah – Utah State wide receiver Brandon Bowling and running back Calvin Tyler Jr. both earned Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award honorable mention honors following their performances at Air Force in Week 3 of the season.
 
In the Aggies' 49-45 come-from-behind victory at Air Force last weekend, Bowling caught nine passes for a career-high 136 yards and a career-best-tying two touchdowns.
 
Tyler had the best game of his career last weekend at Air Force as he rushed for a career-high 132 yards and two touchdowns on a career-best 19 carries. His 61-yard touchdown run with 3:54 remaining in the fourth quarter proved to be the game-winning touchdown for the Aggies, who rallied back from four separate double-digit deficits.
 
SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai was named The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award National Player of the Week for the third week of the college football season. He threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Roberson Jr. on the final play of the game to give SMU a 39-37 win at Louisiana Tech in a non-conference game last Saturday night. Mordecai finished 36-of-48 for 395 yards and five touchdowns. 
 
Bowling and Tyler were two of seven honorable mention selections.
 
The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award recognizes the top offensive player who also exhibits strong characteristics that define Earl Campbell: integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community and tenacity. In addition, players must meet one or more of the following criteria: born in Texas and/or graduated from a Texas High School, and/or played at a Texas based junior college or four-year college.
 
The Aggies (3-0, 1-0) return to action this weekend when they host Boise State (1-2, 0-0) on Saturday, Sept. 25, at 10 a.m. The game will be televised live on CBS.
