The Drive: Gary Jennings smokin’ Sooners

Gary Jennings Jr. spent much of the first quarter doing this:

He’s 12 and he’s making himself available for a screen pass. I started to wonder whether Jennings’ route tree were a krummholz.

Jennings was only intermittently on the field. He seemed to be behind both David Sills and Marcus Simms on the depth chart. Sills was the Mountaineer’s clear number one receiver. Simms suffered a concussion partway through the first quarter. Yet Jennings continued to spend a lot of time on the sideline and when he did see the field, it was as a decoy.
