Hurts, Lamb Named Earl Campbell Semifinalists
November 21, 2019 | Football
NORMAN — University of Oklahoma senior quarterback Jalen Hurts and junior wide receiver CeeDee Lamb were named semifinalists for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award on Thursday.
Hurts and Lamb have combined to lead the most prolific offense in the country this season. The Sooners lead the nation in total offense (581.1 yards per game), yards per play (8.8), passing efficiency (201.7 rating) and yards per pass attempt (11.7), and are third in scoring offense (47.0 points per game) and yards per rush (6.5).
Hurts, already a semifinalist for the Maxwell and the Davey O'Brien awards and a finalist for the Senior CLASS Award, leads the nation in passing efficiency rating (209.1; the single-season FBS record is 199.4), yards per pass attempt (12.3; the FBS record is 11.6), yards per completion (16.8) and points responsible for per game (26.0) and ranks second in total offense (402.2 ypg) and third in completion percentage (73.0). He averages 303.9 passing yards and 98.3 rushing yards per contest and has accounted for 43 total touchdowns.
The Houston, Texas, product is the only FBS player since 1996 to post a passing efficiency rating of 245.0 or better five times in the same season (minimum 15 attempts), and the only player to do so more than three times. Hurts is also the only FBS player with three games this season of two-plus rushing touchdowns and two-plus passing TDs. He was named the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Player of the Week on Sept. 4 and Nov. 19.
Lamb, a semifinalist for the Maxwell and Biletnikoff Awards and a consensus first-team midseason All-American, is tied for second nationally with 13 receiving touchdowns and ranks ninth with his 109.2 receiving yards per game despite ranking 75th with just 4.9 catches per contest. He also ranks fourth nationally with 22.3 yards per reception and is 12th with 983 receiving yards.
The Richmond, Texas, product has produced at least one TD reception in eight of his nine games this season and is the only Power Five player who has at least five games of 135-plus receiving yards. He also leads the nation's non-seniors with his 31 career receiving TDs and 2,948 receiving yards.
The fan vote for the semifinalists round will begin Friday, Nov. 22, and fans can vote for their candidate up to once per day at www.earlcampbellaward.com. The finalists will be announced Dec. 17 and the winner will be announced at an award banquet in Tyler, Texas, on Jan. 15.
Named after 1977 Heisman Trophy winner Earl Campbell, the award recognizes the top offensive player in Division I football who also exhibits integrity, performance, teamwork, sportsmanship, drive, community and tenacity; specifically, tenacity to persist and determination to overcome adversity and injury in pursuit of reaching goals. In addition, winners must meet one or more of the following criteria: born in Texas and/or graduated from a Texas High School and/or played at a Texas-based junior college or four-year college.
OU quarterbacks have won the award each of the last two years. Baker Mayfield won in 2017 and Kyler Murray in 2018. The Sooners have produced at least one finalist each year since 2014: Samaje Perine in 2014, Dede Westbrook in 2016, Mayfield each year from 2015-17 and Murray in 2018.
