Big 12 Co-Offensive Players of the Week

Blaine Gabbert, MU, QB, Jr, Ballwin, Mo.

Blaine Gabbert led Missouri to its first-ever win over a No. 1-ranked team, as MU downed top-ranked Oklahoma, 36-27 Saturday night in Columbia, Mo. The junior finished 30-of-42 for 308 yards and a score. Gabbert completed 8-of-9 passes for 95 yards and one TD in the 4th quarter. Despite OU's 21-20 lead heading into the 4th quarter, Gabbert led a crucial 5-play, 72-yard drive to begin the quarter. His drive ended in a 38-yard TD pass to WR Jerrell Jackson for a 26-20. That score put the Tigers up to stay in what was MU's first win over Oklahoma since 1998.

 

Taylor Martinez, NU, QB, Fr, Corona, Calif.

Taylor Martinez set Nebraska freshman records for passing yards (323), passing touchdowns (5) and total offense (435) in NU's 51-41 win over undefeated Oklahoma State on Saturday. The freshman QB also posted his fifth 100-yard rushing game of the season and is the first player in school history to post a 300 passing/100 rushing day. Martinez's 435 yards of total offense were the third-most in Nebraska school history and his five passing touchdowns tied for the second-most in Nebraska history. He owns the top-five rushing efforts in school history by Nebraska freshman quarterbacks.

 

That's pretty fitting, heading into this game.

Indeed, kudos to both! Could have very easily been a 3 way with Robert Griffen having a great day also.

[jsneb83]

I thought it was gonna be Martinez and Blackmon.

[Danny Bateman]

Ehh, Gabb had a decent day against a less than stellar Boomer D, that's fine...

 

But he's still going to end his career against NU just like Josh Freeman-- with 0 wins. Calling it.

[TexArcher]

Martinez should have won it outright. 435 all-purpose and 5 scores is ridiculous.

[Pedro Guerrero]

Niles Paul or Alex Henery should have been Special Teams Player of the Week.

I'm sorry but what do you think OSU's defense is if OU's is less than stellar?

[cscott2win]

A lot of qb's had similar numbers as Gabby did. TMart got national offensive player of the week.

If someone else was to share the honor with Taylor holvy83 hit it on the head, Robert Griffin III. The guy did something that no other Baylor QB has done since 1994, win six games and make the Bears bowl eligible. The kid is a stud, heard a stat that in like 5 of their 6 wins he has completed over 70% of his passes.

 

And an honest honorable mention would be for Kendall Hunter. The guy straight did his part to win.

 

Bonus question last RB to do the Blackshirts for 200+ was...........

Nope not All Day, 146 was the best he did.

It has been done since Barry played and I believe 189 was his best

[OmahaPlaya]

Indeed fitting. This game is going to be so huge given the circumstances.

[HuskerfaninOkieland]

Niles Paul or Alex Henery should have been Special Teams Player of the Week.

I really thought Niles would have received Special Teams honors
