OU moved their game up from Saturday afternoon to Friday evening, due to terrible weather being forecast for the original time.
Apparently it went more or less as well as could be expected.
Jalen Hurts--transfer from Alabama--had a good game and looks like he'll be the starting QB. He's not--so far--quite as good a passer as Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray were, but he's still pretty good. And he promises to be a strong runner, although it's hard to tell when the QBs are wearing blue jerseys. Tanner Mordecai, about whom in practice much positive had been said, had a bad game, and probably fell back in the starting-QB race. Tanner Schafer, walk-on RS soph, actually looked better than Mordecai.
There is talent at WR like I've never seen at OU before. They made quite a few very good plays.
Defense was hoping for a big number of takeaways, but only got one pick, plus a few passes broken up.
Based on what was visible Friday, I think our offense will probably be little less explosive than it has been the last couple of years, but the defense will probably be somewhat better. How much progress the defense makes will probably determine how successful the season is.
