He had also set the ‘Big 12’ single-season passer rating record with a 199.2 passer rating.

Kyler was eventually named the ‘AP College Football Player of the Year’ and was awarded the prestigious ‘Heisman Trophy’ (awarded annually to the most outstanding player in college football in the United States) for his stellar performance.
