Taylor, Sinor Named Big 12 Players of The Week

The Big 12 announced the “Players of the Week” for week nine, and two Cowboys found themselves rewarded for their performances against West Virginia.

Zach Sinor continued his impressive season Saturday, averaging nearly 45 yards a kick on four punts. Two punts went over 50 yards, including a 59 yarder from the OSU 26-yard line that was downed at the WVU 15. West Virginia’s average starting field position Saturday was it’s own 24 yard line. This is Sinor’s second Special Teams Player of the week award this season (Sept. 19th / Pittsburgh)

Taylor had a huge game with six total tackles, and a career high 2.5 sacks and 3 TFLs. He also forced the fumble by WVU quarterback Skyler Howard in the first half. The Touchdown two plays later gave OSU a lead it never gave up.
