PFF's second list of the season came out today, and A.J. Dillon remains at No. 5 despite his rough outing at Purdue and ankle injury against Temple. The sophomore ranks third nationally with 652 rushing yards on 106 carries this year.
"Dillon may have finished with an even bigger body of work had he not exited the Temple game with an apparent ankle injury in the opening moments of the second half. Still, Dillon tallied 28 carries for 157 yards and two touchdowns in just 31:22 minutes of action against the Owls. He’s forced 23 missed tackles this season and has accumulated a whopping 358 yards after contact with defenders. If he can go this week, you can bet he’ll keep adding on to those numbers."
