Kyler Murray: “I’d like to do both [football and baseball] if possible. But I don’t know how possible that is.”

The 21-year-old accounted for 51 total touchdowns, a 70.9 percent completion rate and 892 rushing yards while leading OU to a 12-1 record, Big 12 title and an upcoming College Football Playoff date with No. 1 Alabama on Saturday, December 29.
