No arguing from any Sooner about the 2017 and 2018 defenses, they were horrible
BJ17, a little turnaround will look massive, statistically speaking, and that is all Sooner fans are hoping for at this point.
Oklahoma also had a QB enter the portal to transfer to WV this season. Keeping the others (RS/Fr Tanner Mordecai and 5-star recruit Spencer Rattler) takes on a bit more urgency, especially for a program that once saw a potential run to a national title ruined in the first game of the season when the star QB went down with a dislocated shoulder (Sam Bradford in 2009). The expectation is that with Hurts experienced already, Mordecai will play more early than previous back ups and Rattler will be used to the limits of the 4-games redshirt rule (and if he is all that, no reason to redshirt him as he would enter the draft after his junior year anyway).
So maybe Hurts won't have the opportunity to accumulate the huge numbers of passing yards as did Mayfield and Murray.
