Hoover’s nation’s-best streak of nine consecutive games with at least 20 completions and two touchdown passes was snapped last week at Utah. It was the longest by a Big 12 quarterback since Oklahoma State’s Brandon Weeden from 2010-11.
Wide receiver Jack Bech ranks in the top 10 nationally in receiving yards (7th, 748) and touchdown catches (T-8th, 7). 4Bech’s 12 receptions of at least 20 yards top the Big 12 and tie for seventh in the FBS.
Bech has topped 100 yards in four games, including a 200-yard effort against UCF that ranks fourth among Power Four Conference players this season.
