The Sooners played their first game in three years without their Heisman-winning quarterback, but you wouldn’t have known the difference if you didn’t check the box score and stat sheet.
With redshirt junior Kyler Murray at the controls to begin the 2018 college football season for Oklahoma, the Sooners scored the first 56 points, rolled up an impressive 650 yards of offense, and played much more disciplined on defense in hammering a good Florida Atlantic team in OU’s 2018 home opener on Saturday.
Oklahoma scored early and often in the opening quarter, scoring on all three of its offensive possessions and adding a blocked punt for a touchdown to pull out in front 28-0.
