COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Football junior QB Drew Lock (Lee's Summit, Mo.) was named Walter Camp National FBS Offensive Player of the Week, announced Sunday (Sept. 3) by the Walter Camp Football Foundation. Lock quarterbacked a Mizzou offense that hung a school record 815 yards of total offense and 72 points on in-state foe Missouri State Saturday. Lock himself set Mizzou school records for passing yards (521) and passing TDs (seven).
In addition to setting school records in the aerial assault of the Bears, Lock's 521 yards were the fifth-most ever by an SEC quarterback while his seven TDs make him just the sixth SEC player to connect on seven touchdowns.
Lock is the sixth Mizzou player to earn Walter Camp Player of the Week honors since 2004, and the first since DE Markus Golden took home the honor on Nov. 23, 2014.
Mizzou will host South Carolina next Saturday under the lights on Faurot Field. Tickets are still available to the highly anticipated matchup at MUTigers.com/fbtix or by calling 1-800-CAT-PAWS. The SEC Network has highlighted next week's matchup with the Gamecocks as one of the best in the nation, sending college football's second-highest rated pregame show and the network's flagship program – SEC Nation – to Columbia for a morning airing on the quad.
