Missouri sophomore QB Maty Mauk was named the Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Week after the Tigers 49-24 win at Toledo. Mauk threw for five touchdown passes and ran for a sixth, both totals which tied program single-game records.
Mauk had over 1,500 friends and family on hand to watch him in his return to Ohio. His performance tied his own school record that he co-holds with former star QB Chase Daniel. Mauk threw five TD passes last year at Kentucky.
“It means a lot, but obviously you can’t do it without the five guys up front protecting me, they gave me a ton of time to throw, and our receivers were in the right spots in the right time and it’s my job to get them the ball, so it was a great group effort,” Mauk said.
