BOULDER — Colorado's 35-32 win at Stanford last Saturday earned two Buffaloes Pac-12 Conference player of the week designations, and created a little bit of history in the process.
Quarterback Sam Noyer earned the offensive honor, while inside linebacker Nate Landman was awarded the defensive accolade, marking the eighth time in school history that CU had the offensive and defensive winners from the same game. The first player of the week awards CU was eligible for came back in 1963 when the Buffaloes were a member of the Big Eight Conference.
Noyer completed 15-of-24 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns, in addition to rushing eight times for 36 yards and another two scores; his passer rating for the game was 170.
