OFFENSIVE: Sam Darnold, RSo., QB, USC
Darnold completed a career-best 80.8% of his passes (21-of-26) for 316 yards with 4 touchdowns in USC's win over No. 14 Stanford.
He completed his first 11 passes of the game.
His TDs went 4, 11, 22 and 25 yards.
It was the sixth time in his career he has thrown at least 3 TDs and fourth time with at least 4 TDs. It was the 12th consecutive game that he has thrown for at least 200 yards and the fifth time in his career for more than 300 yards.
DEFENSIVE: Peyton Pelluer, RSr., LB, Washington State
Had a team-high 14 tackles as Washington State rallied from 21-points down with eight minutes remaining in the game to win in three overtimes, 47-44, over Boise State.
Down 31-17 with just under six minutes remaining, he intercepted a pass and raced 36 yards for the touchdown, cutting the lead to seven.
The comeback matched the biggest fourth-quarter comeback for WSU since 1984 when the Cougars rallied from 42-21 down at Stanford to win 49-42.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Dante Pettis, Sr., PR, Washington
Pettis broke the Pac-12 record for punt returns for a touchdown with the seventh of his career when he ran a punt back, zig-zagging 67 yards for a score on the final play of the first quarter Saturday vs. Montana.
Pettis had also returned a punt for TD the previous week, at Rutgers (61 yards).
He's the only player in the nation this season to have returned two punts for scores.
He currently sits just one shy of the NCAA record of eight, shared by Wes Welker (Texas Tech) and Antonio Perkins (Oklahoma).
Pettis also caught four passes for 32 yards in the Huskies' 63-7 victory.
