FSU’s Dalvin Cook runs to Sunshine State Player of the Week honors

in Sports/Top Headlines by

Dalvin Cook scored in this part of the end zone. And in that part. And over there.

He ran here. He ran there. Pretty much, Cook ran everywhere.

In short, the USF Bulls had an answer for most of what FSU brought to the stadium Saturday. But they had no response to Cook, who ran for 266 yards and became the second Sunshine State Player of the Week.

Cook has 422 yards in two weeks, staggering when you remember how much training camp he missed while awaiting trial. He won the trial, too.

Miami running back Jonathan Yearby, who gained 146 yards rushing and 97 receiving, and Florida tight end DeAndre Goolsby, who caught three passes for 94 yards and a score, were also considered.
