Austin Seibert – Noteworthy
K/P Austin Seibert earned Big 12 Co-Special Teams Player of the Week honors after his three-field goal performance against Iowa State where he averaged 48.5 yards per punt and kicked all eight of his kickoffs for touchbacks. Seibert figures to just serve one role at the next level but has been excellent in both his kicking and punting roles during his four years at OU.
Marquise Brown – Noteworthy
WR Marquise Brown leads the nation with 10 receptions of at least 50 yards since the start of last season, and with seven touchdown catches of 50 or more yards. This season, Brown has four catches of 40 or more yards, including touchdown catches of 75, 65 and 58 yards. Brown’s 1,507 yards are the most for an OU receiver through his first 16 games of his career. The second-place receiver on that list had 1,107 through 16 games.
Parnell Motley – Noteworthy
CB Parnell Motley came up with some big plays early against Iowa State, then struggled for a stretch before coming back to make an interception that put the game away late. Motley figures to be a key Saturday in helping keep Army’s passing game — which has been expanded a bit this year — from becoming an issue.
Trey Sermon – Noteworthy
RB Trey Sermon is the clear No. 1 now that Rodney Anderson is lost for the season with an injury, coach Lincoln Riley said. “He’s definitely our one right now. I think a little bit is just seeing how he handles the whole deal, which he did a great job of in the first game against Iowa State,” Riley said. “He’s really close to breaking loose and making even a few more explosive plays as well. He’s definitely one right now, but we’re going to need more.”
