Leads Cougars in rushing Brooks had his best week on the ground since the season opener as the senior compiled 90 yards on 11 carries in the BYU 38-26 victory over Utah State on Sept. 29 at home. Impact Brooks had 135 rushing yards in the Sept. 3 win over South Florida as his season's best. The senior has only gone over the century mark four times in his college career that included his first four seasons at California. Brooks is the leading Cougars' ball carrier but BYU usually has thrown the ball this season. If the Cougars decide to go on the ground, the senior could put up some good numbers against Notre Dame on Saturday, Oct. 8 in Las Vegas. The 2022 Irish rushing defense is a bit down this season except for in the red zone. The Irish have allowed an average of 143 yards on the ground per game, but have allowed only three rushing touchdowns this season.
