FRISCO, TEXAS — The question posed to Lincoln Riley included an assumption.
Journalists are taught not to assume. Confirm, don't assume. Verify, don't suppose. All that. But to be fair, the presumption made during the Oklahoma coach's news conference at Big 12 Media Days is widely held in college football meccas from the Bayou to the Bay — Kyler Murray is the Sooner starter at quarterback.
So, when Riley was asked, considering Murray's skill set and foot speed, "Will the offense change at all with Kyler at quarterback?", it wasn't out of right field, though Riley's response might seem to be.
