COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou Football junior QB Drew Lock (Lee’s Summit, Mo.) was named one of eight Manning Award Stars of the Week, announced Monday by the All-State Sugar Bowl. Lock threw for 467 yards and six touchdowns, which are the second-most in school history trailing only the seven that he threw in the season-opener against Missouri State. Lock’s 467 yards in the game are the fourth-most in program history and Lock now owns three of the top five single-game passing marks at Mizzou.

Lock had four of his TD passes in the first quarter alone as the Tigers erased an early 7-0 deficit by scoring 37-unanswered points – including a school-record 34 points in the first quarter on the way to a 51-14 halftime lead. His four 1st-quarter TD passes is tied for most in a single quarter this season among Power Five QBs.

Over his last four games, Lock has 15 passing TDs and just three interceptions while passing for 1,291 yards on 83-of-129 attempts (64.3 percent). That is good for a 182.13 QB rating in that span. Keep in mind, that those games are against Auburn, Kentucky, Georgia and Idaho. Georgia ranked ninth in the nation in pass defense when Mizzou played the Bulldogs and Idaho was ranked sixth in the nation in pass defense before Lock torched the Vandals last week.

Mizzou will be back in action Saturday as it heads to UConn for its final nonconference game of the season. The game will air on ESPN 1550 at 5:30 p.m.
