What is the story about?

The Big 12 has a new passing leader: Oklahoma State's Drew Mestemaker. In the Cowboys' 41-24 win over West Virginia, Mestemaker had nearly 400 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. Arizona's Noah Fifita also had a strong day with 297 passing yards and four passing touchdowns to tie with Mestemaker for the most passing touchdowns in the Big 12.

Houston's Conner Weigman also continues to have a strong season for the Cougars with four passing touchdowns against Georgia Southern. Cutter Boley with ASU also continues to be in the top 10 in both passing yards and passing touchdowns despite the Sun Devils being on a bye week. Meanwhile, Julian Lewis with Colorado is still in the top 10 in both categories despite getting benched after the first

half in the Buffaloes' loss to Baylor.

Despite their two losses, TCU's Jaden Craig has done well in the first four weeks. However, he did not have a good game against UCF, with no passing touchdowns and two interceptions, after only one pick in the first three games.

Here are the top 10 quarterbacks in the Big 12 in passing yards after Week 4:
