Second Star: Caleb Williams, Quarterback
The man of the hour. The hero. Insert whatever compliment you want to. Superman arrived to save the Sooners on Saturday.
Initially, it looked like Caleb Williams would be relegated to short-yardage situations as he has a few other times this year. He broke off a 66-yard TD run on a crucial 4th and 1 on the first snap of his career in the Red River Showdown.
However, after a Spencer Rattler fumble, Riley benched Rattler and went with the DC kid. Williams showed he has every throw in his arsenal and used his legs to help Oklahoma complete the improbable comeback.
His poise shined through despite struggling at times to secure snaps or to set protections. Both issues are very correctable and things that will work themselves out in time.
