Travis Wilson, Tom Hackett win Pac-12 Player of the Week honors

Published Sep. 28, 2015 5:24 p.m. ET

Utah emerged as one of the greatest teams in the country vs. Oregon on Saturday, led by impressive performances by quarterback Travis Wilson and punter Tom Hackett. 

Both Wilson and Hackett were named Pac-12 Player of the Week, for offense and for special teams. Wilson, a senior, recorded 327 yards of offense (227 in the air, 100 on the ground) after missing Utah's last game due to injury. He was 18-of-30 with no interceptions, completing a pass to nine different receivers. His offense scored on five consecutive drives.

Hackett, a senior from Australia, had an incredible game as well. All three of his punts landed within the 10-yard line (8, 1, and 4-yard lines) for an average of 60.3 yards per punt. He also recorded his career-long punt distance, 76 yards.
