MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For the past two seasons under Lincoln Riley, the Oklahoma offense has averaged more than 43 points per game. His promotion to head coach shouldn’t change things in that respect, with Riley maintaining play-calling duties even as he settles into the impressive office Bob Stoops vacated.
As the Sooners shuffle in a new receivers and running backs, expect the relationship between Baker Mayfield and tight end Mark Andrews to continue blossoming. A tall target at 6-foot-5, Andrews is one of the rare Mackey Award contenders who also can make defenders miss. He’s savvy before the catch, slippery after it, and capable of racing for big plays.
