The SEC selected their Player of the Week honors for Week 10 and Mizzou’s QB Connor Bazelak picked up honors.
Bazelak was sensational as he improved to 5-1 as a starting quarterback in his young career … Was highly productive and efficient despite not throwing a touchdown Saturday, going 30-of-37 (81%) with 318 passing yards. It stood as his second game this season with a completion percentage greater than 81% and 300-plus passing yards … Since 2000, Bazelak and Chase Daniel, a 2007 Heisman finalist, are the only Tiger QBs with multiple contests of 81% or higher completion percentage.
He was the first Mizzou QB to complete 30 passes in a game since Kelly Bryant did so in last year’s season-opener at Wyoming. In his six career starts, Mizzou’s freshman QB is now 134-for-183 (73.2%) for 1,416 yards and five touchdowns against only one INT, most importantly winning five of those six games.
Mizzou hosts Arkansas Saturday at 11:00, with the pregame at 9:00 on KTUF.
