BYU's Bear Bachmeier shares Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honor

BYU quarterback **Bear Bachmeier** earned his third Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week honor this season after a dominant performance against Notre Dame, securing a 28-24 victory that propelled the Cougars to No. 2 in the AP Top 25.

Bachmeier became the first BYU quarterback since Steve Young to achieve a passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown in a single game, adding two rushing TDs, 224 passing yards, and a touchdown reception to his stat line. His standout effort also reignited Heisman Trophy speculation, as he now leads BYU with nine passing and six rushing touchdowns on the year.

Meanwhile, Houston’s **Conner Weigman** shared the offensive honor after throwing for 343 yards and five touchdowns in a thrilling 35-32 win over Oklahoma State, tying for the FBS lead with 26 total touchdowns this season. The Big 12 also recognized other standouts, including BYU linebacker **Cade Uluave** and defensive lineman **Koron Hayward** as Defensive Players of the Week, while Texas Tech’s **Stone Harrington** and Kansas State’s **Luis Rodriguez** earned Special Teams honors.
