The Oklahoma Sooners finally had a comfortable win against an FBS opponent. It only took them a month and a half but it’s here. The win came at TCU’s expense but you can be sure head coach Lincoln Riley won’t complain one bit.
After a week of closed media availability, Riley unveiled his new starting quarterback with what looked like a completely brand new offense. The Sooners rolled the Horned Frogs 52-31 behind a prolific offensive performance led by Caleb Williams.
John Williams of Sooners Wire shared The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly from Saturday’s win, but let’s hand out some game balls from the Sooners three-touchdown victory over the Horned Frogs.
Caleb Williams, QB
After receiving a game ball last week, the kid dubbed as “Superman,” walked out of the booth in full costume. Caleb Williams’ stats speak for themselves.
Williams ended the night going 18-of-23 for 295 yards and four touchdowns. He added another 66 yards rushing, including an absurd 41-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that looked like something Jalen Hurts or Kyler Murray did in their time with the Oklahoma Sooners.
Williams looked like he had been starting in this offense for three years. Instead, he had just half a game under his belt and proceeded to cut through Gary Patterson’s 4-2-5 defense like he was cutting through the most tender of meats.
His poise, awareness, and athletic ability are truly one of a kind for a player so young. With that said, one should feel comfortable believing that there will be no discussion about who is starting when Oklahoma takes the field against Kansas next Saturday.
