[QUOTE="Keenan Cummings, post: 131495904, member: 1041048"] [B]IRVING, Texas –[/B] Texas Tech and West Virginia student-athletes garnered Big 12 football awards after their performances in Week 10. West Virginia’s T.J. Simmons earned Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, while Mountaineer Tykee Smith was named Defensive Player of the Week. Texas Tech’s Jonathan Garibay collected Special Teams Player of the Week, as Red Raider Colin Schooler was tabbed Newcomer of the Week. Simmons led all receivers with 90 yards for the game, averaging 22.5 yards per catch in the win over TCU. He led the WVU receiving corps with his first two touchdowns of the season. Simmons had a long reception of 38 yards and his touchdowns were 26 and 38 yards. He also finished with two rushes for 16 yards, including a long of 15 yards. Smith intercepted his second pass of the season in the fourth quarter. West Virginia has now forced multiple turnovers in 12 of the last 23 games. Smith returned the interception 42 yards on the play, marking the longest interception return of the season. Smith’s interception took place on the WVU 1-yard line with TCU threatening to score late in the fourth quarter. That interception permitted WVU to not allow a touchdown to TCU in the game, marking the first time of not allowing a touchdown since 2018. Garibay connected on four field goals, including the game-winner at the end of the game, to lead Texas Tech to a come-from-behind victory over Baylor. In his debut at TTU, he was a perfect 4-for-4 on field goal attempts after finding the uprights from 48, 28, 46 and 25 yards out. Garibay is just the sixth kicker in Big 12 history to make four field goals in his career debut as the primary field goal specialist and just the second to do so versus a conference opponent. Schooler registered a season-high 11 tackles, which included a key third-down stop at the goal line in Texas Tech's 24-23 victory over Baylor. He recorded two tackles behind the line of scrimmage, including a sack early in the fourth quarter. Schooler’s biggest play of the afternoon came late in the third quarter[S] [/S]as he dropped Brewer at the 1-yard line, forcing the Bears to settle for a field goal.
