WEEK 5 STATS: 145 yards from scrimmage, 28 carries, 134 rush yards, 1 receptions, 11 receiving yards, TD
Hines has not slowed down since a breakout, three-touchdown performance against Bucknell in Week 2. En-route to his fourth consecutive NEC Rookie of the Week honor, the freshman running back totaled 145 yards from scrimmage during the Dukes’ road rout of Jacksonville. Hines rushed 28 times for 134 yards and also pulled in an 11-yard touchdown reception. Finding paydirt for the sixth time this season, Hines recorded his first non-rushing TD, an 11-yard catch, to give Duquesne a 20-14 advantage with 00:41 remaining in the first half. The Dukes remained in the lead from that point forward in the eventual 54-35 triumph.
