Duggan Wins the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award

TCU quarterback captures his third national award

TYLER, Texas -- TCU quarterback Max Duggan was named Wednesday night as the recipient of the 2022 Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award.

The Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award is presented to a player who was either born in Texas, graduated from a state high school or plays at a Texas-based University. Duggan is the second Horned Frog to receive the award, joining 2014 recipient Trevone Boykin.

Duggan led TCU to its first College Football Playoff Appearance and trip to the CFP National Championship after a 51-45 victory over Michigan in the CFP Semifinal at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl. He totaled 282 yards of offense and four touchdowns in the win over the Wolverines.
 
Also the recipient of the Davey O'Brien Award and Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award as well as runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, Duggan was named to multiple All-America teams. He was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and unanimous First-Team All-Big 12 selection. 
 
Duggan's 32 touchdown passes and 41 touchdowns responsible for (32 passing, 9 rushing) both rank second for a season at TCU, behind only Boykin (33, 2014; 42, 2014). Duggan's 73 career touchdown passes place second on TCU's career list, trailing Boykin (86), while his 28 rushing touchdowns tie for sixth.
 
Duggan was 16th in the nation in passing efficiency with a 159.2 rating. He tied for the national lead among Power 5 quarterbacks with 17 touchdown passes of at least 20 yards and accounted for three or more touchdowns in nine games this season. 

A Council Bluffs, Iowa, native, Duggan led the Big 12 in passing efficiency, touchdown passes, passing yards (3,698), yards per attempt (8.9) and yards per completion (13.9). 

Duggan keyed TCU's furious fourth-quarter comeback against Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship Game, leading a pair of scoring drives to force overtime after an 11-point deficit in the final 7:34. He became the first player with 250 yards passing and 100 rushing in a conference championship game since Deshaun Watson in 2015. Made possible because of a TCU penalty, he rushed for 95 yards on the game-tying 80-yard drive. He had a 19-yard run on a 4th-and-2 and a 40-yard gain to set up his 8-yard scoring run on the next snap. He then completed a pass to Jared Wiley for the 2-point conversion.

In a 29-28 win at Baylor, Duggan led fourth-quarter scoring drives on TCU's final two possessions without its leading rusher (Kendre Miller) and top-two receivers (Quentin JohnstonDerius Davis). The game-winning drive also came with TCU not having any timeouts available. He completed 7-of-9 passes for 83 yards while rushing four times for 33 yards on the two drives.

With a 73-yard touchdown pass to Taye Barber and a 67-yard scoring run just 1:18 apart against Oklahoma, Duggan became just the second player nationally in the last 15 years and first since Lamar Jackson in 2016 with a touchdown pass and touchdown run of at least 60 yards in the first quarter of a game.
