1. The Lincoln Riley era seems to be off to a pretty good start. Is the early success and indicator of his coaching ability, or would you say it's too early to tell given the experience and talent that was already in place at Oklahoma?
Lincoln Riley's coaching ability was on full display in Columbus last month. Along with Baker Mayfield's greatness, Riley's ability as a play caller was what enabled OU to come away with a victory up there. Another example of his savvy can be seen late in that Baylor game. Riley could have easily let Baker Mayfield throw it all over the field and simply try to outscore Baylor in the second half, but he wisely decided to feed Trey Sermon, chew clock and keep his defense off the field.
