Staring Down the Musket at the Oklahoma Sooners

What has made it possible for Kyler Murray to come in and not just keep OU rolling, but be even more efficient than Baker Mayfield?

It’s easy to point to his 4.3 speed and his cannon of an arm, but his accuracy and composure have surpassed even the most optimistic of expectations. Both areas somewhat unproven commodities coming into the season, as pretty much all of his meaningful collegiate snaps were from his freshman season at Texas A&M. During that time, he obviously showed his flashes of brilliance, but he also encountered many of the issues one would expect to see with a true freshman QB playing in the SEC West.
