According to SoonerSports.com, new offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley is happy with how his quarterbacks performed and the state of the competition between Trevor Knight, Baker Mayfield and Cody Thomas.
“All three played well,” Riley told OU’s official website. “They had command, took care of the ball, made a lot of plays. It’s a heck of a competition. It’s been fun to watch them all get better. Where they were three months ago and where they are right now is a night-and-day difference. I wouldn’t trade those three for anybody.”
Riley is pleased with how the offense is picking up his schemes after 10 days of practice.
“We’re improving,” Riley said. “It’s fun when they start to take ownership of it themselves and it doesn’t become some outside offense that got brought in; it starts to become Oklahoma’s offense, and the players’ offense. Because that’s what it is. It’s not mine, it’s not anybody else’s. It’s theirs. And so we’re starting to see some of that ownership, they’re starting to understand what we’re doing and they’re playing hard and having a great time. It was a fun day.”
Long touchdowns from Trevor Knight and Baker Mayfield highlighted the afternoon, as did an interception from sophomore cornerback Jordan Thomas.
