OU football: Fancy footwork makes Lamb tough to tackle

NORMAN — Any one of three escapes CeeDee Lamb made on his fourth-quarter, 70-yard touchdown reception two weeks ago against Kansas State would’ve been worthy for a highlight.

His quick stop-and-start to avoid one defensive lineman near the line of scrimmage on the screen play. The quick turn upfield against a defensive back two yards downfield — but on the opposite side of the field from his initial escape. The sideways step through a par of Wildcats defenders 25 yards downfield that finally sprung Lamb free for the end zone.

It was yet another example of Lamb’s sensational footwork in what will almost surely be his final season with the Sooners.
