2017 College Football Awards: Baker Mayfield wins Davey O'Brien

Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield won the Davey O'Brien Award, given to the best quarterback, on Thursday night to open this year's college football awards.

Mayfield beat out Ohio State's J.T. Barrett and Oklahoma State's Mason Rudolph. Mayfield's win marks the 4th win in Oklahoma history, tying BYU for most Davey O'Brien winners (Sam Bradford won in 2008 and Jason White won in 2004 and 2004). His 129 career touchdown passes are second-most in Big 12 history, five behind Graham Harrell's record of 134.

Several awards have already been announced.

Scott Frost, who will helm the Nebraska Cornhuskers next season, was named the Home Depot Coach of the Year after leading UCF to a 12-0 record and the American Athletic title.
