Kersey also reported that Thomas, who Stoops had said all along was the No. 2 quarterback, had an undisclosed injury, but that the injury wasn’t believed to be serious. Bell made eight starts at quarterback last season before Knight eventually took hold of the position. Bell had spent the past two seasons as a quarterback, but made the transition to tight end in the spring. Obviously, the move to tight end was a good one as he’s earned the start at least for the opening game of the season.
