Caleb Williams set an 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) in the Sooners' 52-21 win over Texas Tech. 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. Williams 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). 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.
Williams has now been named Offensive PoW twice and Newcomer of the Week following his Cotton Bowl performance.
Mario Williams caught a team-high five passes for a career-high 100 yards and a touchdown in Oklahoma's win over TTU. His 22-yard first-quarter TD reception accounted for the first points of the game and marked his first touchdown since the second game of the season (was his third of the year). Among Williams' other receptions were ones of 26 and 36 yards. The 36-yarder was a career-long.
