1. CeeDee Lamb for Heisman?

In a game of two Heisman hopeful quarterbacks, it was receiver CeeDee Lamb that really put things together and shined in the Red River Showdown.

Did Jalen Hurts play well despite the fumble and the interception in the red zone? Sure. Did Sam Ehlinger play well despite being sacked multiple times and being unable to stay upright much of the game? Sure. However, it was absolutely Lamb that deserves the Heisman talk from this one.

He finished with a career-high 10 receptions for 171 yards and three touchdowns. His yardage total was good for fifth-most in series history and his three touchdowns were tied for most in series history. One of his highlights can be seen above.

Will Lamb win the Heisman? Of course not, it has become a quarterbacks award and that is likely to continue this season. However, he should absolutely be considered after what he put up against Texas this week.
