Big Offensive Plays, Stout Defense, Lead UCF to Pummel South Carolina State 56-10

2022 Statistics

Sep. 17 @ FAU

Another finisher performance, as Bowser scored another touchdown. That’s Bowser’s fifth on the season which ties him for No. 7 in the nation. 

Rushing: 13 carries for 33 yards, 2.5 average, and one touchdown.

Sep. 9 vs. Louisville

Rushing: 15 carries, 51 yards, 3.4 average, and two touchdowns.

Receiving: No receptions.

Bowser provided a tremendous impact during the early portion of the game, setting the tone with powerful inside runs that helped move the chains and place two touchdowns on the scoreboard. 

As the game moved forward, Louisville kept creeping closer and closer to the line of scrimmage. The Cardinals did not fear UCF's passing game and concentrated on blitzing to help control Bowser and the Knights' running game, as well as throwing off the passing attack, too.

He was not nearly as productive with facing eight-man boxes, as no running back would be. Bowser did a nice job of trying to pass protect and helping his quarterback, something that he's not often given enough credit for doing.

Sep. 1 versus South Carolina State

Rushing: 23 carries for 83 yards, a 3.6 average, and two touchdowns.

Receiving: Three receptions for 23 yards, a 7.7 average.

Bowser was once again the workhorse for the Knights. His powerful downhill runs, twisting and turning along the way to earn additional forward progress, racked up yardage and first downs. 

His ability to find the end zone two times also shows a belief in a running back that turned down a chance at the NFL to once again be in a UCF uniform. Near the goal line, the UCF staff called on No. 5 to get into the end zone behind the massive offensive line.

His all-around game should be taken into consideration as well. Bowser's three receptions are notable, but just as important would be Bowser playing out play fakes from signal caller John Rhys Plumlee and pass protection.

Both of those areas are vital to being a true first-string running back. Bowser played a good game, and his attention to details should lead him to being one of the most consistently productive running backs in college football during the 2022 season.

2021 Statistics

Rushing: 159 carries for 703 yards, a 4.4 average and nine touchowns.
