ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFAthletics.com) - With an impressive showing against Conference USA rival Marshall on Saturday, Brynn Harvey has been named the Bright House Student-Athlete of the Week. Harvey returned to the starting lineup for the first time in 22 months after tearing his ACL last spring and missing the entire 2010 season.
The redshirt junior was huge for the Knights despite playing in a downpour that totaled seven inches. Harvey rushed the ball 30 times for 180 yards and also caught a pass for another 17 yards.
The six-foot-one, 207 pounder separated himself from the pact and emerged as the starter, after showing George O'Leary that he could handle the load with a 50-yard run on the first play from scrimmage.
Harvey is regaining his 2009-form, where he eclipsed the 1,000 yard mark and scored 14 touchdowns.
The schedule doesn't get any easier for the Knights as they travel to Texas on Saturday for a rematch of last years' Conference USA Championship game against SMU.
