Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley, UCLA's Chip Kelly to match wits on offense

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma's Lincoln Riley gets a chance to match wits with UCLA's Chip Kelly on Saturday in a game pitting two of the game's more gifted offensive coaches.

Riley took over as coach last year, and the Sooners led the nation in total offense and quarterback Baker Mayfield won the Heisman Trophy. Kelly's offenses at Oregon were among the nation's best and he is back in the college ranks after a stint with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Riley expects his sixth-ranked Sooners (1-0) to be tested. His young defense will need to learn quickly to keep up.
