CeeDee Lamb was the best offensive player on the field

Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb probably won’t ever play in the Cotton Bowl again as he seems to be destined to leave for the big-time NFL money next year, but he made his last trip to the stadium matter.

Lamb was sensational, catching 10 passes for 172 yards and making defenders look downright silly trying to track him down. His ability to elude and get into the end zone was particularly important on a day when Oklahoma struggled a bit in the red zone for the first three quarters.

After the Sooners recorded blowout wins through the first five games, we finally got to see what a four-quarter effort from Lamb looks like in 2019 and it passed both the statistical and eye test with flying colors.
