A pair of Bears earned Big 12 Player of the Week honors as Baylor quarterback Seth Russell and nickel back Travon Blanchard were respectively named the conference's top offensive and defensive players after the Bears' 35-24 win over Oklahoma State Saturday.

Russell threw for 387 yards and four TDs in the win, Baylor's first game this season against a conference foe. The quarterback also led the team in rushing with 65 yards on 10 carries.

Blanchard had 11 tackles and a career-high 4.5 tackles for loss. He also recorded one forced fumble, a fumble recover and a pass breakup to complete his night.

It's the ninth time in program history that Baylor has had players honored as both the top Big 12 offensive and defensive players for the previous week. The last time it happened was Nov. 23, 2015, when receiver K.D. Cannon and defensive lineman Andrew Billings were honored.
