Tylan Wallace’s Case for the Biletnikoff Award

• Wallace has been at his best on his biggest stages. In OSU's four games against top-20 opponents this season, Wallace has totaled 609 receiving yards, 32 catches (19.03 yards per catch) and six touchdowns:

Opponent	Yards	Catches	Yds Per Rec.	TDs
No. 6 Texas	222	10	22.2	2
No. 6 Oklahoma	220	10	22	2
No. 7 W. Virginia	62	7	8.9	2
No. 17 Boise St.	105	5	21	0

• After 11 games, Wallace leads the nation in 10-yard catches, yards per reception (min. 60 catches), 100-yard games and 200-yard games. He also leads all Power Five conference players with 59 first down catches. Wallace ranks No. 3 in the FBS with 1,344 receiving yards and is also No. 3 with 122.2 yards per game.

• Wallace is averaging more catches and receiving yards per game than each of the past three Biletnikoff Award winners.

• Comparing Wallace with the other two finalists, his seven 100-yard games this season are one more than Andy Isabella of UMass and three more than Jerry Jeudy of Alabama.

• He has also played against three more ranked opponents than Isabella and one more than Jeudy. Against ranked teams this season, Wallace averages 19.03 yards per catch, while Isabella's and Jeudy's averages vs. ranked teams are 14.6 and 11.3 yards per catch, respectively.

• Isabella has the national lead in receiving yards and receiving yards per game, but has played one more game than the other two finalists. He faced just two Power Five opponents this season, and only one ranked team.

• Jeudy ranks 20th nationally at 91.1 yards per game, more than 30 yards per game behind the other two finalists. Against the three ranked teams Jeudy has faced this season, he averages 75.33 yards per game, 11.3 yards per catch and has not scored a touchdown.

• Against the four ranked teams Wallace has faced, he averages 152.25 yards per game, 19.03 yards per catch and 1.5 touchdowns per game.

• Over the past four games, Wallace has totaled 35 catches for 626 yards (156.5 yards per game), and 7 receiving touchdowns.

• The 2018 Biletnikoff Award winner will be presented live on Dec. 6, 2018, as part of The Home Depot College Football Awards on ESPN. The winner will be presented the Biletnikoff Award trophy at the Biletnikoff Award Banquet at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee on Feb. 16, 2019.
