How have other Oklahoma quarterback derbies gone?

Lincoln Riley announced Wednesday that Kyler Murray would start at quarterback for OU in the 2018 season opener. In the 18 years of the Bob Stoops era, the Sooners staged six true quarterback competitions. Here is how those quarterback derbies turned out.

2001 Nate Hybl over Jason White: Hybl was announced on Aug. 16, nine days before the season opener. Hybl played reasonably well but was injured against Texas. White came on and finished off an OU victory. Hybl returned the next week against Kansas but again was banged up, and White took over the job.
