What happened: Walton earned the national honor following Saturday's 58-7 win over Stanford. The production came on just 13 carries, marking his second consecutive 100-yard performance.

Why it matters: His emergence provides a new element to the offense during the second half of the regular season. The breakout showing solidifies his position in the primary rotation.

By the numbers: The record-setting afternoon featured a 97-yard touchdown run.

What to watch: The coaching staff will look to continue feeding the back in the next regular-season game.
