TCU quarterback Andy Dalton has been named the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week for his performance in Saturday's 51-10 victory over New Mexico.



It's the third time this season Dalton has received the league's weekly honor.



Dalton totaled 273 yards of offense and five touchdowns as the Horned Frogs improved to 12-0 for the first time in program history and clinched the outright Mountain West Conference championship. TCU is in line for its first appearance in a BCS bowl.



A junior from Katy, Texas, Dalton completed 15-of-24 passes for 228 yards and four touchdowns against the Lobos. The four scoring tosses tied a career high set in last year's 54-7 win over Wyoming.



Dalton's 62- and 20-yard scoring strikes to Antoine Hicks came in a span of 12 seconds in the second quarter. Dalton and Bart Johnson connected on touchdown passes of 17 and 24 yards.



Dalton ran for 45 yards on nine carries, including an 8-yard scoring run.



Dalton earned his 29th victory as TCU¹s starting quarterback, tying him with Sam Baugh (29-7-2, .789, 1934-36) for the most in Horned Frog history. Dalton is 29-6 (.829).



The 228 passing yards gave Dalton a new single-season high of 2,484, bettering his previous best of 2,459 as a redshirt freshman in 2007. He also went over 7,000 career yards and is now at 7,185, just 186 shy of passing Max Knake (7,370, 1992-95) for the top spot in TCU history.



Dalton, sixth nationally with a 159.6 passing efficiency rating, has a 62.4 completion percentage that is on pace to set a TCU single-season record. He has 22 touchdown passes with just five interceptions and is fourth on the Horned Frogs with 522 yards rushing on a 4.9 per carry average.



Dalton appears on the watch list for the Manning Award, honoring the nation's top quarterback.
