Glasmann was named both the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week and the HERO Sports Division II Stud of the Week. Glasmann threw for four touchdown passes to give him 100 in his career to break the RMAC TD record. He tossed for 501 yards, which is a new career-high and he is just 597 yards short of breaking the RMAC passing record. It was also over 300 yards over the average that the ThunderWolves allow on average per game through the air (194.3). He accounted for almost all of the Mustang offensive yards, as WNMU had 516 as a team. He was responsible for all four touchdowns against No. 10 CSU-Pueblo throwing for an 86-yard strike for his first of the day to start the scoring. He also added a 45, 13 and 18 yard touchdown passes. Two receivers went for over 100 yards, while six total receivers caught a pass and three caught a TD pass. It's the seventh time he has thrown for at least 400 yards in a game in his career and second time this season as he also threw for 434 yards against Arizona Christian. He came into the weekend sixth in the nation and first in the RMAC in total passing yards. 

Following his explosion on Saturday, Glasmann now leads the nation in total passing yards at 1,588. He is also the leader in passing yards per game (397), tied for first in completions per game (28.25), third in passing touchdowns (14) and 10th in points responsible for (84).

His top two targets from the CSU-Pueblo game, Xavier Ayers and Larry Young II are amongst the national and RMAC leaders in receiving yards. Ayers is fifth in the nation and first in the conference with 507 yards, while Young II is 27th nationally and third in the conference with 385 yards. Young II is fifth in the nation and first in the RMAC in receiving touchdowns with seven. WNMU as a team has the top-ranked offensive passing game in the country.
