Nubin Named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week
10/30/2023 10:03:00 AM | Football
Sophomore rushed for 204 yards and two touchdowns in 27-12 win against Michigan State
University of Minnesota running back Jordan Nubin was named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week today after his standout performance in the Maroon and Gold's 27-12 victory against Michigan State on Saturday.
Nubin rushed 40 times for 204 yards and two touchdowns in the Minnesota win. His 204 yards were the most by a Minnesota player since Mohamed Ibrahim ran for 263 yards against Iowa on Nov. 19, 2022. His 204 yards are also the 28th most in program history.
Nubin is the first Minnesota running back with 40 carries in a game since Ibrahim had 41 rushing attempts at Maryland on Oct. 30, 2020, and his 40 carries are tied for the seventh most in program history. His 204 yards marks the 33rd time that a Gopher has rushed for 200 yards or more in a game.
On Saturday, he had four carries of 10 yards or more, which included a career‐long of 19 yards and an 18‐yard touchdown run. Nubin rushed 18 timed for 79 yards in the first half and followed with 22 carries for 125 yards and two touchdowns in the second half.
With eight carries for 35 yards in the first quarter, Nubin had already topped his previous career‐highs for rushes (6 vs. Michigan, 10/7/23) and rushing yards (25 vs. Michigan, 10/7/23). He entered the Michigan State contest with 15 career carries for 51 yards.
He is the first Gopher to be named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week since Ibrahim on Nov. 21, 2022.
