For the second time this season, an Oregon true freshman has earned Pac-12 Player of the Week honors.
Justin Herbert became the first player in Oregon history to accumulate 500 yards of total offense during the Ducks’ 54-35 victory on Saturday and was named the conference’s outstanding offensive player for the week.
Herbert tied the school record with 489 passing yards, matching Bill Musgrave’s record that was set in 1989. Oregon’s first five offensive possessions ended in scores, and Herbert orchestrated a scoring drive on the Ducks’ opening possession for the first time this season.
In what was just his third collegiate start, Herbert tallied 512 total yards while carrying Oregon to its first win since September. Herbert earned conference honors despite not being named offensive player of the week by Oregon’s coaches.
Washington linebacker Azeem Victor earned defensive player of the week honors, while fellow Husky Dante Pettis earned special teams honors after returning a punt for a game-winning touchdown.
Herbert is the second Oregon player to earn player of the week honors this season; freshman linebacker Troy Dye was selected as defensive player of the week after Oregon’s season-opener against UC Davis.
