Logs 100-yard rushing performance Donaldson compiled 17 rushes for 121 yards and one touchdown and hauled in his only target for nine yards during Saturday's 41-28 victory versus UCF.

Impact Donaldson logged his second 100-yard rushing game of the season as West Virginia dominated the Knights on the ground. QB Garrett Greene and RB Jahiem White also had a combined four touchdowns in the run-game. Donaldson has scored a touchdown in six straight games and has a score in seven of eight games this year. West Virginia will play BYU next week and Donaldson should remain in starting line-ups.

Adds score in fifth straight game Donaldson tallied 13 carries for 39 yards and one touchdown and gathered in both of his targets for 11 yards during Saturday's 48-34 defeat against Oklahoma State.

Impact Donaldson has scored a touchdown in five straight games. His rushing totals have been limited this year, especially when QB Garrett Greene has been in the line-up. Greene rushed 16 times for 117 yards against the Cowboys. Donaldson remains a reliable option with double-digit carries in all seven games this year but does have limited upside due to the dual-threat quarterback. West Virginia will play at UCF next week.

Takes over as lead back Donaldson rushed for 106 yards on a team-high 23 carries while also reeling in all three of his targets for six yards in Thursday's 33-10 win at Virginia Tech.

Impact Donaldson has catapulted to the number one spot in the backfield with three 100-yard rushing performances in his first four games as a collegiate player. Against the Hokies, he was clearly the Mountaineers' favorite option out of the backfield with a team-high 23 carries. West Virginia has turned back to a run-first approach, so look for Donaldson to be a hot play at Texas next week.

Keeps scoring touchdowns Donaldson rushed for 101 yards and three touchdowns on nine carries in Saturday's 65-7 win over Towson.

Impact Despite receiving just 32 touches through three games, Donaldson has six touchdowns and is quite possibly the most electric true freshman in the nation. He's already posted two 100-yard rushing performances in two games where he had single-digit touches. While Tony Mathis has averaged around 16 carries per game, West Virginia will need to find more frequent ways to get the young Donaldson the ball. West Virginia will play at Virginia Tech on Thursday night.
