Lincoln Riley said complimentary things about Abdul Adams after the tailback’s transfer to Syracuse. But Adams’ father did not say complimentary things about OU football.
Samuel Gaillard, Adams’ father, said Adams was “humiliated” after being benched following a fumble at Ohio State. And Adams also never got back on the field in Stillwater after an early bobble that was ruled a fumble and returned for a touchdown by Oklahoma State, though replay review overturned that call and determined it was an interception.
“I think at that point Abdul decided that he just really wanted to leave Oklahoma," Gaillard told the Syracuse Post-Standard.
