Freshman Caleb Williams got his first start for Oklahoma on Saturday, announced as the starter about 15 minutes before kickoff, getting the nod over Spencer Rattler against TCU.
The decision ended a week of speculation and some palace drama after Sooners coach Lincoln Riley declined to publicly name a starter. The OU Daily reported on Tuesday that Williams took the majority of the first-team reps in practice based on a vantage point from a public building on campus, prompting Riley to cancel all media availability for the remainder of the week.
