CHARLESTON, S.C. – The Citadel B-Back Tyler Renew has been named the Southern Conference Offensive Player of the Week, it was announced Monday.

Renew rushed for a career-high 174 yards and a career-high two touchdowns in The Citadel's 23-22 win at South Carolina. The Columbia, South Carolina, native broke through the middle for a 56-yard touchdown run that was the eventual game-winning score with 6:07 remaining in the fourth quarter. His 174 yards were the most by a Bulldog since Aaron Miller rushed for 197 yards against Charlotte last season.

Renew's rushing total was the most allowed in Williams-Brice Stadium by the Gamecocks since 2006, when Arkansas' Darren McFadden, the Doak Walker Award winner that season, rushed for 219 yards, and was more than South Carolina has allowed to five different teams this season. Renew produced his second straight 100-yard rushing game and third 100-yard rushing performance in the last four games.

The Citadel, co-champions of the Southern Conference and ranked 18th in the final regular season FCS STATS poll released Sunday, advanced to the NCAA playoffs for the fourth time in program history and first time since 1992. The Bulldogs travel to face Coastal Carolina on Saturday at 2 p.m. in a game available on ESPN3 and via the WatchESPN app.
