Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Baker Mayfield has undoubtedly been the best quarterback in college football this season. On Thursday night, Mayfield earned the recognition he deserved by winning the Davey O’Brien Award, which is given annually to college football’s top quarterback. Mayfield won the Walter Camp and AP Player of the Year awards earlier in the day.
The Austin native leads the nation in completion percentage (.710), passing efficiency rating (203.8, which would be an NCAA record if he stays on pace), yards per attempt (11.8), yards per completion (16.6) and pass of plays of 20-plus yards (75).
