New offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley is a former Texas Tech assistant.
His system, which he ran there and then took to East Carolina, is a pass-happy offense, perfect for a throwing quarterback.
Perfect for Baker Mayfield, it seems. Mayfield, a former Texas Tech quarterback, who is now at Oklahoma.
Conventional wisdom says Mayfield will be the starter when the Sooners open the season against Akron next month. Combined with the arrival of Riley, the fact the Sooners weren't good with the passing game last season and Mayfield being eligible, seem to point toward Mayfield getting an edge.
