Following his record-setting performance in the SWAC-opening win, Prairie View A&M QB Jalen Morton was named BOXTOROW National Player of the Week.
 
Morton accounted for 511 yards and six touchdowns as he set a single-game school record with 255 rushing yards, and tied a school record with four rushing touchdowns. Morton broke John Payton's 64-year old school record of 253 rushing yards set in 1953. It was the fourth time in school history a Panther player rushed for four touchdowns (Ed Price 1952; Payton 1954; Archie Seals 1958).
 
Morton rushed eight times for 255 yards and four touchdowns, on scoring runs of a career-high 89, 37, 1, and 21 yards. He completed 16 of 24 passes for 256 yards and two touchdown passes (career-high 75 yards, 6 yards). 
 
Morton's totals led to a school-record 815 yards total offense, the third-highest total in the FCS this season. The Panthers scored 35 first-quarter points and the 62 total points scored was the most by a PVAMU football team since scoring 67 points in 1959.
 
The Panthers (2-3 overall, 1-0 SWAC) will face Grambling (1-2, 1-0) Saturday in the 93^rd State Fair Classic in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. The Panther Sports Network pregame show begins with Panthers Countdown To Kickoff at 3:30 p.m. at pvpanthers.com/sportsnetwork prior to kickoff at 4 p.m.
