Eastern Illinois football collected its second OVC-Big South Freshman of the Week award this season as redshirt freshman Jacarre Fleming picked up the award following his Saturday performance at Western Illinois.
 
Fleming became the third different EIU player to rush for 100 yards in a game this season scampering for 111 yards on nine carries for a 12.3 yards per carry average.  
 
He found the endzone twice on the afternoon scoring just before halftime on a 55-yard burst up the middle that put EIU up 21-6 at the time.   His final score was a 33-yard run with just under 11 minutes left in regulation which put EIU up 28-16 as they ended the day with a 31-23 victory improving to 2-2 on the season, 1-0 in the OVC-Big South.
 
Fleming caught one pass out of the backfield for five yards to go with three kick returns for 61 yards as he posted 177 all-purpose yards for the day.
 
EIU hosts Tennessee State this Saturday at 2 p.m. at O'Brien Field.
