Expect anything different?

CeeDee Lamb went off against Iowa State, earning him Big 12 offensive player of the week.

Being the main offensive weapon against the Cyclones, Lamb could not be contained even if he was covered by three defenders.

Not only was he a threat through the air with his eight catches for 167 yards and a touchdown, but he was a huge help in the run game. Lamb is one of the best blocking wide receivers in the nation, proving his abilities once again last Saturday.

This is the fourth time this season that the offensive player of the week is a Sooner and the second time this season that Lamb has been recognized as the offensive player of the week.

Jalen Hurts has also won offensive player of the week twice and newcomer of the week twice. Safety, Brendan Radley-Hiles and linebacker, Kenneth Murray have each been awarded Big 12 defensive player of the week once. In total, players from Oklahoma have been recognized eight times this season.

“Im sick, heartbroken for those two.” Lincoln Riley told reporters at his weekly press conference, Monday. “They’ve put a ton into this program.”

Both running back Trey Sermon and defensive tackle Kenneth Mann are done for the season after sustaining leg injuries against Iowa State.

Sermon went down late in the first half against Iowa State this past Saturday. Coming into the game against the Cyclones, Sermon had little production from what fans grew accustomed to over the previous two seasons. Even still, Sermon’s loss is not what the Sooners need as they head into the stretch run of the college football season.

Kenneth Mann was also injured in the second quarter against Iowa State. Mann was unable to put any pressure on his left leg as trainers assisted him off the field, Saturday.

Mann was a captain of the 2018 team and had 40 games under his belt coming into last week.

Sermon finishes the season under 400 yards rushing and just four touchdowns.
