OU Football: Baker Mayfield and how to use the 'force' of the Air Raid

As a young Luke Skywalker practiced with a lightsaber aboard the Millennium Falcon, Jedi master Obi Wan Kenobi sat nearby, instructing the talented youngster to “act on instinct.”

“Remember, a Jedi can feel the force flowing through him,” Obi Wan told Luke while he trained against a flying remote during the original “Star Wars” film.

“You mean it controls your actions?” Luke asked.

“Partially, but it also obeys your commands.”

As new Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley works to install his Air Raid offense, you can bet he's had similar teaching moments with starting quarterback Baker Mayfield, as well as backups Trevor Knight and Cody Thomas.
