The AP College Player of The Year was awarded to Oklahoma Sooners Quarterback Kyler Murray, who will be competing against Alabama in the 2018 College Football Playoff Semifinals in the Capital One Orange Bowl.

He was drafted to the MLB by the Oakland Athletics and had arguably one of the greatest seasons statistically in College Football history. Let's take a look at Kyler Murray's stats that helped lead Oklahoma football into the College Football Playoff match-up against the Alabama Crimson-Tide. While also comparing the 2017 Heisman Trophy Award winner Baker Mayfield. As you will see, Murray has had a better season than the former 1st overall NFL Draft pick.

Status of Tua Tagovailoa

The status of Tua Tagovailoa is still unclear, but reports reflect that his surgery went very well and his expected timeline to return to practice is about a week and a half to two weeks. I believe this drastically effected Tua Tagovailoa's 2018 Heisman Trophy Race, as he was the leading Heisman Trophy Candidate all season long, until Jalen Hurts helped Alabama win the SEC Championship in a dramatic fashion. All in all, if you click Coach Saban below, you will read why Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa care about one thing and one thing only, and that is hoisting the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy.
