Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight showed some consistency and maturity and the No. 4 Sooners opened their season with a convincing 48-16 win over Louisiana Tech on Saturday at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in front of 85,063 fans. Knight, who capped the 2013 season with four touchdown passes in the Sooners' Sugar Bowl win over Alabama, threw for 253 yards and a touchdown in his first start of 2014. The performance certainly can't be considered a surprise, considering Louisiana Tech was completely overmatched by the deeper, more talented Sooners, but Knight doesn't have an established track record of success. Unlike a season ago, when Knight struggled as the starter against Louisiana Monroe, scoring no points in the first quarter, Knight completed 6 of 7 passes for 76 yards on Saturday and led the Sooners to a 21-0 lead in the opening quarter.
