Report: Kyler Murray Won't Start for Sooners vs. Baylor Due to Disciplinary Violation

Heisman Trophy front runner Kyler Murray will not start at quarterback for the Sooners on Saturday as punishment for a disciplinary violation, multiple outlets are reporting.

"We're following reports that Kyler Murray might not start as punishment for being late," College GameDay host Rece Davis said during Saturday's broadcast. "We'll see if that happens. It doesn't mean he won't play, but we'll keep following [this]."

Murray's suspension is reportedly not the result of anything major nor is it long term. Head coach Lincoln Riley is using this incident to emphasize that the same rules apply to everyone on the team, even a star quarterback.
