Rahming, who also logged 22 rushing yards and 44 receiving yards during the Week 9 win, added a 25-yard kickoff return late in the third quarter. The performance bumped Rahming up into third place on the NCAA FCS leader board for kickoff return average (33.0 ypr). He also returned one punt for 18 yards against ABU and ranks eighth among the national leaders in punt return average (13.8 ypr).
