Winners and Losers from Week 5 of College Football

Winner: Oklahoma's Offense Is so Good, It Hurts

  1. This is exactly what head coach Lincoln Riley and Oklahoma fans envisioned when the Sooners persuaded Jalen Hurts to come to Norman after he decided to transfer from Alabama.

    All the graduate transfer has done thus far is light up the college football world, proving he's a perfect product for Riley's system. He may just be on his way to becoming OU's third consecutive Heisman Trophy winner.

    He looked the part Saturday against Texas Tech, torching the Red Raiders in a 55-16 laugher. His biggest weapon was receiver CeeDee Lamb, whom he connected with for seven receptions, 185 yards and a trio of touchdowns. It was Hurts who made it all tick, though.

    He was brilliant yet again, finishing with 415 yards on 17-of-24 passing with three touchdowns and one interception. He added 70 rushing yards and another score on the ground.

    Learning from former quarterbacks coach Dan Enos and offensive coordinator Mike Locksley at Alabama helped Hurts retool his passing skills and look like a better all-around quarterback. Once it became clear the Crimson Tide were Tua Tagovailoa's team, Hurts sought greener pastures.

    That took him to Oklahoma, where Riley and Co. have him looking like a potential first-round draft pick. After all, the NFL now has as many dual-threat quarterbacks as dropback passers, and Hurts, who can beat you with his arm or feet, is the best signal-caller in college football.

    Whether or not Texas Tech was a worthy foe is debatable, but with Hurts and Lamb playing like they were Saturday, few will be a match for the Sooners.

This guy is setting the tone on the offensive side of the ball and might be one of the best we've had...and that is absolutely mind-numbing after having watched two of the best season performances in CFB history under center for the past two years from two different players.

Sometimes you can't begin to understand the history you're seeing, you have to be down the road a bit and look back in awe to truly understand what it was.

This young man is looking like Cam Newton, Vince Young, Mayfield/Murray all rolled into one.

Wow. Still trying to figure out how lucky we are?
