Kyler Murray officially became Oklahoma's starting quarterback Wednesday when OU coach Lincoln Riley ended any lingering suspense.
Unofficially, Murray may have always had the inside track on Austin Kendall as soon as he decided to put his baseball career on hold after being the first-round pick of the Oakland A's and signing a $4.6 million dollar deal. The only surprise -- if you can call it that -- was that Riley waited a couple more days than most expected to confirm it.
Now comes the interesting part: What does Murray do with the job on an otherwise loaded roster as heir to Baker Mayfield?
