West Virginia University senior quarterback Skyler Howard has been selected as the Manning Award Quarterback of the Week, earning the honor over seven other Manning Award Stars of the Week in the Allstate Sugar Bowl's Facebook contest.
Howard completed 21-of-31 passes for 318 yards and one touchdown, while also rushing for 89 yards and two scores, as the Mountaineers remained undefeated with a 48-17 Big 12 road victory over Texas Tech. He tallied his third 300-yard passing performance of the season and sixth in his career on his way to being named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career.
