Luton passed for 310 yards on Saturday
SAN FRANCISCO – Oregon State quarterback Jake Luton has been named the Pac-12 Conference's Offensive Player of the Week.
Â
The conference announced the honor Monday morning, two days after the senior threw for 310 yards in the second half and overtime to lead Oregon State to a 41-34 win at Colorado on Saturday afternoon. The 28-point comeback win over the Buffaloes tied for the biggest come-from-behind victory in school history – 1981 versus Fresno State was the first - and the third-largest in the Pac-12's history.
Â
He is the first Oregon State quarterback to pick up the honor since Sean Mannion on Sept. 30, 2013.
Â
Luton ended the day completing 28-of-39 passes and three touchdowns. He found Isaiah Hodgins for an 8-yard score early in the third quarter. He followed that with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Hodgins midway through the fourth, and connected with the sophomore wide receiver on a 2-point conversion to move the Beavers to within three points of the Buffaloes.
Â
Luton, a sociology major from Marysville, Wash., found Trevon Bradford on a slant down the middle – on 4th and 8 - for a 10-yard touchdown to tie the game with less than 30 seconds remaining in regulation.
Â
The senior passed for 288 of his 310 yards in the second half. He was 3-of-4 for 22 yards in the overtime period.
Â
Luton and Hodgins connected for 10 completions, 139 yards and two touchdowns.
Â
Luton is also one of eight quarterbacks who has been nominated for the Manning Award. Fans can vote by visiting the All-State Sugar Bowl's Facebook through Thursday at 9 a.m. PT.
Â
Oregon State returns to Reser Stadium this week for a 7:05 p.m. PT kickoff against USC. Tickets are available and can be purchased by visiting BeaverTickets.com/Football or calling 1-800-GOBEAVS between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
