Within the college ranks, Oklahoma football has deservedly acquired the reputation as “Quarterback U.”
In the past five seasons (two as offensive coordinator and three as head coach), Lincoln Riley has coached two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks and a third who was Heisman runner-up.
Two other Oklahoma quarterbacks won the Heisman in the first decade of the 2000s.
