Washington State quarterback Luke Falk has been named the Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Falk, a sophomore, completed 47 of 62 passes for a season-high 514 yards and five touchdowns in the Cougars’ 45-42 victory over Arizona on Saturday. It was Falk’s third straight game with five-plus TD passes and pushed WSU (5-2) to its best start since the 2003 season.
On Sunday, Falk was named the Walter Camp National FBS Player of the Week, the first Cougar to receive the honor since the 2004 season.
It’s the third career Pac-12 Player of the Week award for Falk. He earned the honor following his 478-yard, four-touchdown performance in a Week 2 win at Rutgers, and also was honored after last season’s road win over Oregon State,
Falk enters the week second in the NCAA in passing yards (412.1), third in total offense (403.3) and fourth in passing touchdowns (26). He leads the Pac-12 Conference in all three categories.
