Mario Williams
The freshman wide receiver was fed a lot of opportunities to have the ball in his hands in his first game. 6 receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown may not seem like a lot but the volume of targets suggests he’s going to be a major player for OU this season. He was very highly recruited and has spent all offseason receiving praise for his play and work ethic. He featured heavily on screens to the wide side of the field with another receiver who would block or he would catch jailbreak screens.
Head coach Lincoln Riley is bound to take the leash off and get him the ball in other ways too. Operating out of the slot for short and intermediate routes could be coming. Don’t be surprised to see him put up better numbers than last week and really start to solidify his spot in the rotation.
