Oklahoma has become the ultimate quarterback factory under third-year head coach Lincoln Riley. The 36-year old wonder coach has put Oklahoma into the College Football Playoff three straight seasons. Additionally, he has put all three of his quarterbacks in New York as Heisman Trophy finalists. This year it was Alabama transfer Jalen Hurts that thrived under Riley’s tutelage. In the same way, Hurts was joined by LSU quarterback Joe Burrow as a Heisman finalist. But it was Burrow that rocked the trophy. The Ohio State transfer has made the Bayou Bengals into a College Football betting sensation.
