Oklahoma football coach Lincoln Riley is being portrayed as the bad guy for not fully releasing QB Chandler Morris, who transferred to TCU after last season.

Morris, the son of former SMU and Arkansas head coach Chad Morris, played behind starter Spencer Rattler and Tanner Mordecai as a freshman last season at OU. Morris played in five games in 2020, but generally in garbage time when the game was well decided.
