“I rise today to honor Sam Bradford and the entire OU Football team on their success, both individually and as a team, in the '08-'09 season. Sam would be the first person to remind you that one doesn't win an award like the Heisman Trophy without the hard work, determination, and success of your fellow teammates, coaches, and staff. He has said as much on many occasions. But in this instance, Sam Bradford also deserves special recognition for his poised leadership and his dedication to excellence on and off the field. His exceptional play is matched only by the outstanding example that he sets for young student-athletes in Oklahoma and across the nation. Congratulations, Sam, on winning the 2008-2009 Heisman Trophy.”
