Austin Stogner, TE
Riley made sure everyone who would listen knew that junior tight end and H-back Austin Stogner is still very much a part of the Sooners’ offense.
“Stog’s doing a good job. He played quite a bit early for us. Again, we’ve gotten in so many of these games where it’s been so low possession that it’s affected the opportunities for everybody on the roster, him included, and he’s in a very competitive room,” Riley said.
“That’s three guys that have been good players for us. Three guys that have established themselves as trustworthy guys and guys that we feel like we can go to them and they’re going to make the play. The last few weeks the ball has found those other guys a little bit more, but Stog is a really good weapon and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he really breaks out here. I think he’s getting better. He’s practiced better, especially here in the last several weeks. Those things go in ebbs and flows, but we still realize the weapon he is and certainly want to continue to get all of those guys involved.”
Stogner dropped a touchdown pass against TCU and hasn’t recorded a grab in either of OU’s past two games. OU fans would love to see Stogner more involved come Saturday.
