CHICAGO (WXYZ) — Michigan Quarterback Shea Patterson has been named the Big Ten co-Offensive Player of the Week for his game against Indiana on Saturday.

Patterson threw for 366 yards and five touchdowns against Indiana, and was the first quarterback in Michigan history with five touchdown passes in regulation.

He is also the first QB in Michigan history with at least four touchdown passes in consecutive games and the first to post back-to-back 300-yard games since 2015.

This is his second career player of the week honor, and his second straight honor after getting it for his game against Michigan State last weekend.

Ohio State RB J.K. Dobbins was also named the co-Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week.

Michigan and Ohio State will face off Saturday at 12 p.m.
