COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Football senior QB Drew Lock (Lee’s Summit, Mo.) has been named to the Davey O’Brien Award Week 9 Great 8, announced Wednesday by the Davey O’Brien Award. Lock was one of eight quarterbacks to earn a spot on the list, which honors college football’s top quarterbacks each week.

Lock had another great performance last Saturday, guiding the Mizzou offense to 65 points and more than 600 total yards of offense. He completed 23-of-29 passes for 350 yards with a season-high four touchdowns and zero interceptions. His QB rating of 226.21 is the sixth-best mark in school history. Lock’s 350 yards vs. Memphis moved his career total to 10,674, now seventh-best in SEC history. He enters this week needing just 201 yards to catch Florida’s Danny Wuerffel for sixth place. Lock’s four TD passes last week give him 87 in his career and with one more, he will tie Florida’s Tim Tebow and Chris Leak for the fourth-most in SEC history. He needs just three TD passes to move ahead of Tennessee’s Peyton Manning for third in SEC history.

Among active FBS quarterbacks, Lock is third with his 10,674 career passing yards. Only Boise State’s Brett Rypien (12,042) and Washington’s Jake Browning (11,005) rank ahead of Lock. With 350 yards vs. Memphis, Lock now has 12 career 300-yard games, second in school history behind only Daniel (20). Lock registered his 11th career game with four or more TDs vs. Memphis – he has nine such games among his last 13. He now has 46 career TD passes of 20+ yards, the most in school history.

Mizzou Football returns home Saturday to host No. 12/14 Kentucky in an SEC East showdown. Kickoff is at 3 p.m. on ESPN 1550.
