Oklahoma QB Sam Bradford Wins Davey O'Brien Award

Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford won the Davey O’Brien Award for the nation’s most outstanding quarterback on Thursday.

 

Bradford won the award over Big 12 opponents, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy and Texas Tech quarterback Graham Harrell. Bradford becomes the third OU quarterback to win the award (Jason White, '03 and '04).

 

McCoy and Bradford are finalists for the Heisman Trophy, along with Florida quarterback Tim Tebow.

 

Bradford completed 302-for-442 passes for 4,464 yards and a Sooners record and nation-leading 48 TDs (6 INTs). He is second in the nation in passing efficiency (186.28) and fourth in total offense (348.38 yards per game).

 

Bradford, the star quarterback from Oklahoma, and McCoy, the leader of Texas, have been in direct competition with each other all season. McCoy led the Longhorns to a 45-35 win against Bradford's Sooners in the Red River Shootout in October.

 

There was a big controversy after Oklahoma was selected to win the Big 12 South division after conference rules stated that the highest BCS team in a three-way tie should advance to the title game. OU, Texas and Texas Tech were all tied with 7-1 conference records.

 

McCoy was named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year this season, but was named second team All-Big 12 behind Bradford, who will face Tebow in the BCS National Championship Game on January 8.
