Although the Oklahoma Sooners are 3-0 and still a top-five team in the country, there are still some questions about the team as it enters Big 12 play. A lot of those questions have come up because the play of quarterback Spencer Rattler has not yet met the expectations that were placed on him in the offseason. Chris Hummer, a national college football writer for 247Sports, broke down why there is a level of concern over Oklahoma in the sport right now and why it is not all on Rattler on the latest edition of the College Football Daily podcast with Trey Scott.
“He entered the season largely on the hype of being that quarterback coming out of high school and playing for Oklahoma, but he has not played up to the standard of Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield before him,” Hummer said. “He probably has not played up to the standard of Jalen Hurts. I don’t think there’s a question about that. He’s too loose with his decision-making sometimes, and we saw that nearly cost Oklahoma a couple of times on Saturdays, when he just kind of lets a ball go that he shouldn’t have thrown.
