Palo Alto High grad Davante Adams of Fresno State has been named the Mountain West Conference’s Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this football season. In Fresno State’s 38-14 win over visiting UNLV on Sat- urday Adams tied the school record with four touchdown catches and also equaled the conference single- game record as he helped propel the ‘Dogs past the Rebels. Adams also had a fifth TD reception nullified by a pass interference call. Adams caught eight passes in the game for a career-high 221 yards and became the first Bulldog to surpass the 200- yard mark since Rodney Wright did so in 2001. The 221 receiving yards are the most by a Mountain West player since San Diego State’s De- Marco Sampson recorded 257 yards at Colorado State on Oct. 24, 2009. Ê/``ÉÃÌ>vÀ`« Ì°V With now 25 career touchdown catches in only 19 career games, Adams tied the school record for career touchdown receptions. Adams will look to break the all-time career TD mark this Saturday when Fresno State (6-0, 3-0 MW), ranked No. 17 in the first BCS Standings this week, travels to San Diego State (3-3, 2-0 MW).
