One of the most important players on the Baylor offense, Cyril Richardson, has been named a semifinalist for the Outland Trophy, the award for the best interior lineman on either side of the ball. Richardson is also a semifinalist for the Rotary Lombardi Award, and was named a midseason All-American. Also on a national award semifinalist list is Baylor receiver Antwan Goodley, one of two from the Big 12 to make the cut for the Biletnikoff Award, the honor presented to college football's top receiver annually. Baylor also dominates the semifinalist list for the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award, an award for offensive players with ties to the state of Texas. Though the loss of Spencer Drango hurts, Art Briles has no lack of confidence in his plan for the future without the sophomore left offensive tackle.
