Connor Halliday is Pac-12 Player of the Week on offense
Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday is the Pac-12 Player of the Week on offense for week six, the conference announced Monday morning. Halliday set an FBS passing record over the weekend, throwing for 734 yards in WSU's 60-59 loss to Cal. The senior quarterback also threw six touchdown passes and no interceptions. Only 15 players in FBS history have ever thrown for 600 or more yards in a game and Halliday did it during the third quarter.
Halliday is the first Cougar to receiver a Pac-12 Player of the Week honor this season.
The conference's other winners for week six were Utah's Nate Orchard on defense, who sacked quarterback Brett Hundley four times in Utah's upset of UCLA, and Cal's Trevor Davis on special teams for returning kickoffs of 98 and 100 yards for touchdowns against WSU.
