Williams the Davey O’Brien National QB of the Week
November 02, 2021 | Football
NORMAN — Oklahoma true freshman quarterback Caleb Williams has been named the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback of the Week after his performance in the Sooners' 52-21 victory over Texas Tech.
Williams, also the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week, set the Oklahoma true freshman record with 402 passing yards and tied the school freshman record with six touchdown passes (most ever by an OU true freshman) against the Red Raiders. He completed 23 of 30 passes (76.7%) and finished with a 255.2 passing efficiency rating, which was the best nationally for the week and the best in the country this season among quarterbacks who attempted at least 30 passes.
The Washington, D.C., product became just the third player in OU history to throw for at least six touchdowns without an interception, joining Heisman Trophy winners Baker Mayfield (2016 vs. Texas Tech) and Kyler Murray (2018 vs. Baylor). His six touchdown passes went to five different receivers and he completed passes to nine different players in the game.
On the season, Williams, who has started three games, has 14 TD passes against one interception and ranks second nationally with his 203.7 passing efficiency mark. He has thrown at least two touchdown passes in each of the last four contests, dating back to the Texas game.
Oklahoma (9-0, 6-0 Big 12), which is off this week, will be on the road Nov. 13 at Baylor (7-1, 4-1 Big 12) in Waco, Texas. Kickoff time will be determined after the games on Nov. 6.
