Fifita shares the honor with Arizona State quarterback Jeff Sims, who replaced the injured Sam Leavitt and passed for 177 yards and rushed for 228 yards in the Sun Devils' 24-19 win over the Iowa State Cyclones in Ames.

West Virginia defensive back Fred Perry and Texas Tech linebacker Jacob Rodriguez were named Big 12 Defensive Players of the Week. Utah returner Mana Carvalho and Texas Tech kicker Stone Harrington were named Big 12 Specials Teams Players of the Week. West Virginia quarterback Scotty Fox earned Big 12 Freshman of the Week honors. ASU's offensive line and Utah's defensive line received the Big 12's "Beef of the Week" award. 

It's Fifita's second time receiving Big 12 Player of the Week honors. He was also Big 12 Player of Week after the Oklahoma State game this season. 

Fifita completed 11 of 19 passes for 213 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions in Arizona's 52-17 win over Colorado in Boulder. Fifita is one of six FBS quarterbacks to pass for four-plus touchdowns in three games this season.

All of Fifita's touchdown passes were in the first half — and they were all to different receivers: Tre Spivey, Kris Hutson, Javin Whatley and Gio Richardson. 

In Big 12 play this season, Fifita has passed for 1,330 yards, 15 touchdowns and four interceptions. Fifita is currently third in the Big 12 in passing yards (2,042) and touchdowns (21). Fifita passed his touchdown total from last season (18) and currently has eight fewer interceptions than last season.  

Fifita now has 65 career touchdowns. He's three touchdowns away from passing Nick Foles and Willie Tuitama for the most career touchdowns by an Arizona quarterback. 

Fifita could set Arizona's passing touchdowns this week, when Arizona (5-3) hosts Kansas (5-4) for homecoming at Arizona Stadium Saturday afternoon at 1:30 p.m. on ESPN2. Winner of the Arizona-KU matchup becomes bowl eligible.
