Jaydn Ott’s Red River Rivalry moment exposed why he's a bust for Oklahoma

Now that Oklahoma fans are finally seeing more reps from prized running back transfer Jaydn Ott, it’s become clear why he hasn’t been on the field much.

OU head coach Brent Venables and offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle recently praised Ott as if he turned a corner during the bye week and fixed whatever had been keeping him on the sideline. Ott was rewarded with a season-high carries against Kent State and entered in the first quarter against Texas on Saturday in the Red River Rivalry.
