Western Kentucky quarterback Bailey Zappe was voted Conference USA Co-Offensive Player of the Week, the league announced Monday. He becomes the fifth different Hilltopper quarterback to earn the honor since WKU joined the league prior to the 2014 season.
A week after throwing for 424 yards against UT Martin, Zappe one-upped himself against one of the FBS' best defenses from a year ago. At Army on Saturday, he completed 28-of-40 passes (70%) for 435 yards and three touchdowns with one interception while also adding a rushing touchdown.
His 435 yards were the most allowed by an Army defense to a single quarterback since at least 2000.
