Lambert was named a Lou Groza Award Star of the Week, the Big 12 Special Teams Co-Player of the week and the College Football Performance National Placekicker of the Week.
Lambert connected on 3-of-4 field goals at Texas Tech, including the game-winning 55-yarder as time expired to give West Virginia the 37-34 victory. He also hit from 42 and 38 yards. The 55-yarder tied the school record set in 1984 by Paul Woodside and was the longest field goal made on the road by a Mountaineer. It was the second game-winning field goal hit by Lambert this season as he hit a 47-yarder at Maryland with no time left.
“I knew when he missed one in the fourth quarter we were in great shape because I knew he would come back and drill one when we needed it,” said coach Dana Holgorsen after the win over Texas Tech.
