Explodes with massive line in win Knight logged 18 rushes for 177 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 52-38 win against Purdue.

Impact Most wouldn't have had Knight leading the Big Ten in rushing yards after three weeks on their Bingo card, but here we are. His stellar 177-yard outing vaulted him past King Miller as the conference's most productive back. He also leads the Big Ten in rushing touchdowns, and his production has taken a lot of pressure off of Nico Iamaleava, who was forced to carry the rushing load last season. Knight will have to travel cross-country to Maryland next week, but the outlook is bright against a run defense that allowed Virginia Tech to compile 131 yards and two touchdowns.

Leads backfield with three touchdowns Knight posted 13 carries for 97 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 28-10 win against San Diego State.

Impact UCLA rotated in Anthony Woods and Jaivian Thomas, but Knight did the most damage on the ground, leading the group in carries, yards and touchdowns. Nico Iamaleava is a big part of the rushing attack, and Knight's prior tenure with coach Bob Chesney at JMU puts him squarely in the driver's seat for most of the remaining snaps.
