West Virginia’s Clint Trickett and Iowa State teammates Cory Morrissey and Cole Netten were named Big 12 Football Players of the Week for September 12-13 games by a panel of media that cover the Conference. All three picked up their first weekly honor.

Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week

Clint Trickett, West Virginia, QB, Sr, Tallahassee, Fla.

Clint Trickett completed 37-of-49 passes for 511 yards and four touchdowns in West Virginia’s 40-37 win at Maryland. His passing yards were a career-high and the second-most in a single game in school history. His TD passes were also a career-best and covered 43, 44, 36 and 11 yards. Trickett became the first WVU quarterback to throw for at least 400 yards and four touchdowns in a game since Geno Smith against Baylor in 2012. He was also named Walter Camp Football Foundation National Offensive Player of the Week for his efforts.

Cory Morrissey tallied career-highs in tackles (7), TFL (3.0) and sacks (2.0) in Iowa State’s 20-17 win at Iowa. His two sacks came in the first half to help halt Hawkeye drives as he now has a team-high 3.5 on the season. Morrissey produced his numbers going head-to-head with Iowa All-American offensive lineman Brandon Scherff.
