Week 8 was a big week for Big 12 quarterbacks, especially Oklahoma State quarterback Drew Mestemaker, who went off against Colorado for nearly 400 passing yards and four passing touchdowns. It was his second game of the season with at least four passing touchdowns, and he has thrown for over 300 passing yards in every game except the season opener.

Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita also had a strong game, throwing for 308 yards and two touchdowns in the Wildcats’ 39-3 win over Iowa State. He has at least two passing touchdowns in every game this season except their Week 2 loss to BYU. TCU’s Jaden Craig also had a day, throwing for 372 yards despite the loss to West Virginia.
