Oklahoma coach Riley won’t name starting QB before TCU game
NORMAN, Okla. – Spencer Rattler was the man heading into the season. Now he might not even be the starter.
The Oklahoma quarterback had everything going for himself two months ago. He was a preseason Associated Press first-team All-american who was at the forefront of Heisman Trophy conversations. He was among the most visible players taking advantage of NCAA rules changes that now allow athletes to cash in on their celebrity.
Caleb Williams replaced him last Saturday and rallied the Sooners to a 55-48 win over Texas.
Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley wouldn’t say how he will play his quarterbacks heading into the fourthranked Sooners’ game against TCU (3-2, 1-1 Big 12) on Saturday.
Oklahoma is handling the situation delicately. Rattler normally talks with reporters on Wednesday, but Oklahoma
(6-0, 3-0) canceled its weekly Zoom sessions.
