CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Hurts are off to a great start to college football’s award season.
Arguably one of, if not the best wide receiver in the nation, Lamb received first-team All-American honors. Lamb’s production has still been electric, despite rumors of him being unhappy with the lack of touches he has received.
Lamb has over 100 yards receiving in six of the 12 games he has played in this season. Catching 58 passes for 1,208 yards and 14 touchdowns, Lamb has shown what he is fully capable of without Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown lining up opposite him. Two huge performances against Texas in the Cotton Bowl and Baylor in the Big 12 Championship showed the nation that Lamb is going to be electric on Sunday’s in the near future.
Jalen Hurts was awarded second-team honors behind Heisman Trophy favorite and semifinal opponent, Joe Burrow.
Hurts has made the most of his lone season as a Sooner, making the College Football Playoff and heading to New York City for the Heisman Trophy presentation.
Hurts is the team’s leading rusher with 1,255 yards on 219 carries and 18 touchdowns. Through the air, Hurts has slung the rock 309 times and connecting on 222 throws for a 71.8% completion rate. His 3,634 yards of passing and 34 passing touchdowns rank among the nation’s best.
Oklahoma faces LSU in the Peach Bowl as part of the College Football Playoffs on Dec. 28. Kickoff is set for 3:00p.m. CT on ESPN.
