Oklahoma’s Back Zack Sanchez Big 12’s Defensive Player of the Week

Oklahoma cornerback Zack Sanchez keyed a Sooner defense that held Kansas State to just 110 yards of total offense on Saturday in a 55-0 Sooner blowout.

The junior Sooner defensive back picked off two Kansas State passes on Saturday and returned one 38 yards for a touchdown on K-State’s opening possession of the second half. For his stellar performance, Sanchez was honored as the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week.

Sanchez’s interception return against K-State put the Sooners up 42-0, and it was his third career interception that was returned for a touchdown.
