Prep parade: Gunnar Gundy, Jacob Switzer talk battle of Bedlam namesakes

Bedlam will hit Norman High School's Harve Collins Field on Thursday in a quarterback battle.

Stillwater junior Gunnar Gundy and Norman North junior Jacob Switzer are the starting quarterbacks. Do those last names sound familiar? They should, even to a casual observer.

Gundy is the son of Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy. Switzer is the grandson of legendary Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer.

They've played against each other only once, so there is no rivalry just yet. But OU and OSU fans aren't looking past this one.

That's why The Oklahoman visited both this week to talk about being a family member of football royalty and more ahead of Thursday's game.
