I saw him in 1 game doing some mop-up.Playing against a Big 12 team which aren't exactly known for good defense but if the receivers aren't open he's quick to resort to running the ball or it could have been he saw a sizable opening to get good yardage but I think he's a passer 1st and he didn't set the world on fire with his passing game as a freshman.It's an easy, lazy pick to make. Rattler was a 5-star recruit and 2 of the last 3 Oklahoma starting QBs won Heismans. He's coached by Lincoln Riley, a young offensive guru.
Low game time for the freshmen was more to help pad stats for Hurts.I saw him in 1 game doing some mop-up.Playing against a Big 12 team which aren't exactly known for good defense but if the receivers aren't open he's quick to resort to running the ball or it could have been he saw a sizable opening to get good yardage but I think he's a passer 1st and he didn't set the world on fire with his passing game as a freshman.
Are you talking about Rattler or Baker Mayfield?I am sure Lincoln Riley and the OU staff know more than me, and I don't want to jinx anything but he dosen't look that impressive. Physically, he looks small, dosen't have much major college experience and seems like a cocky azzhat. Just my opinion for now and I hope we expose him!
Go Vols.

Throw out the rest...who was our coach? Who was our starting RB? Did we beat Vandy that season?
The backup thing didn’t apply last year. Trask had already flipped that script against Kentucky and was the starter by the time he faced us. No issue with tempering your own expectations. I don’t need such conditioning to protect myself. I’m an All American in handling disappointments.Hey I've already got this one down as a W but I know deep down that green freshman and backups usually end up looking like all Americans against us. I think we've turned that page and I think we're gonna shock the world twice next season but I'm desperate to see that happen and to see us dominate in some games we are expected to win instead of barely skirting by. It's not a bad thing to temper expectations maybe?
It was sarcasm. Though I remember plenty of people saying the same thing about Baker. He's undersized, he's a walk on, he can't scramble, etc.Rattler

I think Rattler is going to be okay. From everything I hear, the kid is a freak with high potential. A win against Tennessee might be just what he needs to gain confidence going into Big 12 play.
