Manning Award goes to Baker Mayfield, Oklahoma QB who also won Heisman

Departing Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has been named the winner of the Manning Award for his play in the 2017 season.

Mayfield, a senior, threw for 4,627 yards with 43 touchdowns and six interceptions in 14 games, and he completed a nation-leading 70.5 percent of his passes.

The award goes to the top passer in college football, and it's the only award that takes the candidates' bowl performances into consideration.

In the Rose Bowl against Georgia, Mayfield completed 23 of 35 passes for 287 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also caught his first career pass for a touchdown in that game.
