CHARLOTTE, N.C. (www.BigSouthSports.com) – Coastal Carolina running back Lorenzo Taliaferro (Yorktown, Va.) has been named the Choice Hotels Big South Football Offensive Player of the Week, while Chanticleers’ linebacker Mike McClure (Rock Hill, S.C.) has been selected as Defensive Player of the Week for games played the 10th week of the regular-season. Charleston Southern placekicker Mark Deboy (Fort Myers, Fla.) is the Special Teams Player of the Week and Coastal Carolina running back De’Angelo Henderson (Summerville, S.C.) is The Crons Brand Freshman of the Week.
Taliaferro rushed 24 times for 139 yards and three touchdowns in Coastal’s 50-25 victory over Charlotte. He extended his Big South record for most 3-TD games in a season to five, and matched the Big South single-season record for rushing touchdowns with 21. Taliaferro gave CCU a 7-0 lead in the first quarter with runs of 10, 8, 7 and the final 5-yarder for the TD. He later capped a 72-yard drive with a 3-yard score with 1:30 left in the second quarter to give the Chants a 12-point lead at halftime. On Coastal’s final drive of the third quarter which extended into the fourth, Taliaferro’s 4-yard run put the game out of reach. He had runs of 5, 10, 16, 15, 10 and the final 4-yarder during the drive.
McClure registered 11 total tackles (five solo, six assisted) and 2.5 tackles-for-loss for the Chanticleers. He teamed with Calvin Hollenborst to drop Charlotte’s running back for a 1-yard loss on 1st-and-10 on the CCU 15-yard line and Charlotte would be forced to kick a field goal. McClure added his solo TFLs in the second and fourth quarters.
Deboy kicked a pair of field goals in the final 17 minutes to help the Buccaneers to a 27-16 win at Presbyterian. His career-long 35-yarder with 1:49 remaining in the third quarter put CSU ahead 24-16, while his 23-yarder with 4:20 left in the game sealed the final 11-point margin. Deboy also booted three of his five kickoffs for touchbacks and PC managed just one kickoff return for 14 yards.
Henderson rushed 10 times for 117 yards and a touchdown against Charlotte. He had a 31-yard run on the opening drive of the game and later had a 21-yard scamper during Coastal’s fourth scoring drive. Henderson had gains of 10 and 23 yards on the opening drive of the third quarter to break the 100-yard mark, and he ended that drive with a 2-yard TD run.
