Arizona Wildcats linebacker Jake Fischer was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week for his performance against Toledo Saturday.
Fischer, who missed the entire 2011 season with an ACL injury, tallied a career-best 13 tackles in Arizona’s 24-17 overtime victory. He also forced a fumble in the win.
The Wildcats, who held the Rockets to just a field goal on 132 yards of offense in the second half, will need an equally impressive performance when they host No. 19 Oklahoma State Saturday. The Cowboys enter the game coming off an 84-0 win over Savannah State.
