After leading Oklahoma to a 25-point comeback win over Baylor, Jalen Hurts has earned the last Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the Week Award of the year.
Hurts’ first half, though, didn’t look like an award-winning performance. He had two turnovers, one passing touchdown and the offense had accumulated just 10 points in the entire half.
Hurts’ sprung to life in the second, scoring four touchdowns and erasing a 28-3 Baylor lead to win 34-31. He completed 30 of his 42 total passes for 297 yards and four touchdowns. Hurts also ran the ball 27 times for 114 yards.
The Oklahoma signal-caller leads the nation in points responsible for with 260, and is second in the nation in individual offense per game at 402.2 yards, only behind Washington State’s Anthony Gordon who averages 434.8.
Oddly enough, after possibly earning himself a trip to New York, this is Hurts’ first Davey O’Brien National Quarterback of the Week award of the season. LSU’s Joe Burrow finished with three, and Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa finished with two.
