The Oklahoma Sooners just finished a dreadful 6-6 season that actually is better than the reality in Norman. When you lose 49-0 to Texas in the Red River Rivalry, such beatdown should count as 3 losses.
So, where did the 6-8 Sooners excel? Grooming QBs for massive success elsewhere. Caleb Williams rates to win the Heisman. Spencer Rattler went crazy in South Carolina’s last two games as the Gamecocks arguably knocked TWO teams out of the playoffs, Tennessee and Clemson. Tanner Mordecai excelled in SMU’s pass-happy offense.
Actually, the breeding did not stop there if you consider that Lincoln Riley’s first gig as head man was at OU. Now, Riley gets to watch the waves at Manhattan Beach while attracting droves of quality players to the Coliseum. In comparison, will Brent Venables turn out to the Sooners’ booby prize? Stay tuned.
