CINCINNATI — Brendan Sorsby performed arguably the best of any Big 12 quarterback across Week 1, earning him Big 12 Newcomer of the Week.

The accurate deep passer threw for 383 yards and two touchdowns on a 22-31 completion mark with two drops. It was enough to earn him the seventh-best ESPN QBR of the entire FBS slate.

Sorsby looked ready to roll for the Big 12 gauntlet as the competition gets much stiffer this weekend.
