SAN FRANCISCO – Washington State linebacker was named the Pac-12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week, conference commissioner Larry Scott announced Monday.
Pelluer made a team-high 14 tackles and keyed a fourth-quarter comeback with his 36-yard interception return for a touchdown in the Cougars 47-44 triple overtime win over Boise State. Pelluer's touchdown cut the BSU lead to seven and WSU eventually tied it with 1:44 left in regulation before winning in triple overtime. It was the redshirt-senior's second career interception and his 14 stops were his eighth career double-digit tackle effort.
