The senior running back scored on a 2-yard during the first quarter and another 2-yard plunge in the third quarter with the game in hand.

Solid outing in Saturday's loss Adaway totaled six carries for 87 yards and hauled in 3 of 5 targets for 31 yards during Saturday's 45-42 defeat versus Memphis.

Listed as starter for Week 9 Adaway is listed as the starter for the Week 9 matchup against Memphis on Saturday, Brett Vito of the Denton Record-Chronicle reports.

Kept from scoring Adaway rushed 12 times for 46 yards and had one catch for 11 yards against Memphis on Saturday.

Impact This is the first time in five games Adaway didn't score a touchdown. He was the only Mean Green player with double-digit carries, though, and Adaway remains the top back for the team. In fact, that distinction is getting stronger.

SEPTEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps touchdown streak alive Adaway rushed 14 times for 73 yards against UNLV on Saturday. He also caught a touchdown.

Impact That makes four games out of four with a touchdown for Adaway, though this time it took a receiving score. He seemed fully recovered from the injury that kept him out for all of 2021, and he's looking like the lead back for the Mean Green.
