No surprise here after that incredible first half. Release via GoDucks.com:

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — University of Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli was named the Pac-10 Player of the Week on offense for Week 12, commissioner Tom Hansen announced Monday.

Masoli tied a conference season-high with five touchdowns (three rushing, two passing) and tied the Oregon single-game record for TD runs by a quarterback in the Ducks’ 55-45 win over Arizona.

The true sophomore and San Francisco product completed 21-of-26 passes for a career-high 298 yards and no interceptions. He was also the game’s leading rusher, carrying 10 times for 89 yards, including a 66-yard touchdown.

The weekly honor is his second, having previously won the award for Week 9, following his performance in UO’s 54-20 win at Arizona State Oct. 25.

Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea (defense) and kick returners C.J. Gable of USC and James Rodgers of Oregon State (special teams) were the Pac-10′s other honorees this week.
