Could Oklahoma's Kyler Murray pull a Lamar Jackson in 2018 with over 5,000 yards of total offense?

Chuck Carlton, Big 12 beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News, answers your questions about the league in a live recently. Here are some highlights:

Over or under 5,000 all-purpose yards for Kyler Murray in 2018?

Carlton: Under. Even if Kyler Murray is highly effective, that's a huge number. Last season, only Louisville's Lamar Jackson had more than 5,000 yards total offense. Even Baker Mayfield came up just short at 4,938 yards -- and he won the Heisman. Actually, a better way to judge Murray will be wins and losses, just like any other quarterback.
