NORMAN — Sometime in the next couple of weeks, Oklahoma offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh and head coach Lincoln Riley are going to have to make a tough decision.

Who will start at left guard?

It might be Cody Ford, the mountain of an offensive lineman who earned the starting job in fall camp last year as a redshirt freshman. Or, it could be Ben Powers, the junior who seized the starting job last season and was a second-team all-Big 12 pick after Ford's season ending injury.

“There's going to be some tough decisions there,” Riley said.
