The question of Kendall’s availability puts the spotlight on redshirt sophomore Tanner Schafer and true freshman Tanner Mordecai. Schafer immediately relieved Kendall following the injury but failed to throw a pass. Mordecai came in on the next possession and closed out Oklahoma’s 63-14 win by completing both of his pass attempts for 37 total yards.
The only thing that Oklahoma fans have seen from the offense since the arrival of Lincoln Riley is steady improvement. In 2015, Riley’s first year, the Sooners averaged 43.5 points per game. Over the course of the next two seasons Oklahoma’s offense would progress to where they led all Power 5 schools in points per game in 2017.
