Washington State quarterback Cameron Ward was named the Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced.
Ward was also named The Reese's Senior Bowl Offensive Player of the Week and the College Football Performance Awards National Performer of the Week.
In Saturday's 38-35 win over No. 14 Oregon State, Ward completed 28-of-34 pass attempts for 404 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions, and also rushed for a touchdown. The junior's completion percentage of 82.4 percent was the seventh-best completion percentage in WSU single-game history and completed 19 of his first 20 passes, including 14-straight completions to close the first half, giving the Cougars a 28-14 lead. Ward connected with Kyle Williams on a 63-yard pass TD on the second play from scrimmage, the longest pass in his WSU career.
According to Pro Football Focus, Ward had the third-best quarterback grade in the country, best in the conference, and fourth-best passing grade in the country last weekend.
Ward has the most pass attempts in FBS this season without an interception (141 attempts) and ranks among the Top-10 in total offense (2nd, 1498), passing yards (3rd, 1,389), passing yards per game (3rd, 347.3), passing touchdowns (4th, 13) and passing efficiency (9th, 187.6).
This is Ward's first career Pac-12 Player of the Week award and WSU's second this season after Edge Ron Stone Jr. was named the defensive player and defensive lineman of the week following the win over No. 19 Wisconsin.
