The recognition continues to roll in for Oklahoma's signal caller. 

After being named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week for a second time on Monday, redshirt junior quarterback Kyler Murray has been named the Maxwell Award Player of the Week after his performance in the Sooners' 37-27 win over Iowa State. 

Murray has replaced now-Cleveland Brown Baker Mayfield just fine. Through three games, the Allen, Texas native has just one less yard from the line of scrimmage (1,032) and responsible for the same amount of touchdowns (10) as Mayfield was through three games in his 2017 Heisman season. 

Murray and the Sooners return to Norman for a home game against Army (TV on pay-per-view) that kicks off at 6 p.m. CT on Sept. 22.
