Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey has been named the Walter Camp player of the week for his performance against Cal last Saturday.

McCaffrey, a sophomore, gained a Cardinal record 389 all-purpose yards, the nation’s highest total this year in Stanford's 35-22 win. 

McCaffrey scored two long touchdowns within a four-minute span in the second quarter of the Big Game, helping Stanford complete the sweep of the California schools. 

McCaffrey rushed for 192 yards on 29 carries, had one reception for 49 yards and posted 148 yard on kickoff returns with a 98-yard return for a score. McCaffrey has rushed for over 100 yards in nine straight games and is ranked No. 2 in the nation in rushing yards.

McCaffrey passed the single-season all-purpose yardage totals of Reggie Bush, Marcus Allen and Mike Rozier from their Heisman-winning years. McCaffrey’s performance this past weekend also earned him the Pac-12's special teams player of the week award.
