Today, we shift to the other side of the ball and single out the five jersey numbers that are expected to give Riley and the Sooners the most fits on defense this season.
For the last three years, or since the arrival of Lincoln Riley, first as offensive coordinator and now as Oklahoma’s 22nd head coach, the Sooners have possessed one of the most prolific, high-scoring offenses in college football.
Baker Mayfield was the starting quarterback in all three seasons Riley has been at Oklahoma. Mayfield has moved on to bigger and better things, so there will be a new sheriff behind center directing the Sooner offense this season.
