Football: Raymond Calais Named Offensive Player of the Week by SBC

Offensive Player of the Week

Raymond Calais, Louisiana (Jr., RB, Breaux Bridge, La.)
Louisiana junior running back Raymond Calais rushed for a career-best 186 yards, the second-most in the Sun Belt Conference this season, with three touchdowns on the ground in the 36-22 win over Georgia State.  He ripped off a school-record 92-yard run, breaking a 47-year old record in the process, tied for eighth-most yards on the ground in the FBS this past weekend and is now one of just five running backs in the nation to have a rushing play of more than 90 yards this season.  His 92-yard dash is the fourth-longest run by a back in the FBS this season.  Calais’ overall game effort against Georgia State tied for the 17th-best rushing performance in school history while his three rushing touchdowns, individually, are the fifth time that has occurred in the conference this season.  His three touchdowns are the most in a single game by a Sun Belt player this year.  His 186-yard total output is second-best in the conference this season behind only Louisiana teammate Elijah Mitchell’s 191 yards at Texas State.
