Biggest unanswered question
Who takes over now? With Nic Shimonek no longer under center, the Red Raiders will have to rely on players who do not have much experience. It will not be easy to replace Shimonek's 3,963 yards and 33 touchdowns (with 10 interceptions). But if there is one thing we learned from last season, it is that Kliff Kingsbury's pass-heavy offense can fit almost any quarterback.
