Week 2 was an interesting week of college football, with quarterback Drew Mestemaker leading Oklahoma State to a win over No. 6 Oregon. Noah Fifita and the Arizona Wildcats gave BYU a run for their money in the first Big 12 matchup of the season, and Cutter Boley with ASU had another good day in the passing game, except for his two interceptions.

Among the notable quarterback performances was Jaden Craig with TCU. After having only 175 passing yards and zero touchdowns to open the season in Ireland against North Carolina, Craig rebounded against Grambling with nearly 400 passing yards and four touchdowns. Colorado quarterback Julian Lewis also had a good day with 366 passing yards and four touchdowns.

Last week, Cowboys quarterback Drew Mestemaker

was not on the passing touchdowns list. Now he is on the list after his three-touchdown performance against the Ducks to give Oklahoma State their first win of the season. Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson also had three passing touchdowns this week in the Wildcats' win over Washington State.

Here are the top 10 quarterbacks in the Big 12 in passing yards after Week 2:
