HOUSTON — Senior linebacker Blaze Alldredge was named the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week, announced Monday afternoon by the conference office.
It is Alldredge's first career Player of the Week honor and Rice's first Defensive Player of the Week since Zach Patt in 2014.
Alldredge led a standout defensive in Saturday's 20-0 shutout a 15th-ranked Marshall. He was credited with 10 tackles, including a shared tackle for loss, picked off one pass and broke up a second. It was the first shutout by an opponent at Joan C. Edwards Stadium in its history and the first by the Owls against a ranked opponent since 1960. Alldredge reached double figures for the third time in four games this season as the Owls blanked C-USA's top scoring offense (37.4 points per game) and held them to 245 yards (averaged 450.3 coming in), including 80 yards and 2.9 yards per carry on the ground (205.7 and 4.9 coming in).
