Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker put on a clinic in his loss to Iowa State, throwing for 323 yards and five touchdown passes to solidify himself as the Big 12's best quarterback and one of the top quarterbacks in college football.

Devon Dampier also had a solid game against Cincinnati, throwing for 260 yards and three touchdowns to keep the Utes undefeated. Kansas State came into their game against Colorado with a quarterback fiasco, but Blake Barnett still threw for three touchdowns in the loss. In Arizona's game against Texas Tech, Noah Fifita outdueled Red Raiders quarterback Will Hammond with over 400 passing yards, though Arizona still lost.
