LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Utah quarterback Cameron Rising was named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for his performance in Utah's 43-42 win over No. 7 USC after the Ventura, Calif., native proved he is a triple threat on the field.
The Paul Hornung Award recognizes players that are versatile, high-level performers in the FBS. In Utah's game against the Trojans, Rising was 30-of-44 passing for a career-best 415 yards (2 TDs) along with 60 rushing yards (3 TDs) and his first-career reception for nine yards.
Through seven games, Rising ranks fourth nationally in ESPN's Total QBR Rating (89.4), which leads all Pac-12 quarterbacks. He also ranks ninth in the FBS in points responsible for (130) and is in the top-25 nationally in completion percentage (.688), passing efficiency (161.5), passing yards (1,855) and passing touchdowns (15).
He has six total rushing touchdowns this season, which is tied for the third-most by a Power Five quarterback this season. His three rushing scores against USC also ties for the second-most by an FBS quarterback in 2022, tying for the most in the Pac-12.
Rising ended the game with 475 of Utah's 562 yards of total offense, also producing 22 of Utah's 31 first downs in the game (18 pass, 4 rush). His 415 passing yards was the first 400-yard passing game by a Utah quarterback since 2005 (Brian Johnson vs. San Diego State, 417) with his three rushing scores being the most by a Ute QB since 2014 (Travis Wilson vs. Colorado State).
