Who will be OU’s starting QB in 2013?

Trevor Knight in the 2013 Spring Football Game.

Is the University of Oklahoma working on their Knight-moves? Are they about to release a Knight-mare on college football? 

Bob Stoops has said the QB competition for the starting job was real, and rumors coming out of Norman yesterday is that Trevor Knight was the leading candidate to be named starting QB for the Sooners! Both Bob Barry Jr, and Dean Blevins are saying they are hearing Redshirt Freshman, Trevor Knight is the leading QB in the race over Junior and assumed starter Blake Bell. We still have to wait on the official announcement from Coach Stoops which is expected to come this Friday. 

Stats from the Spring Football Game:
Bell 14-23, 213 yds, 2 TDs
Knight 8-15, 86 yds, 1 TD

This has only happened a hand full of times under the command of Stoops. With that said here is an ESPN preview capsule that will give you a more in depth look key player losses and returnees for the season, along with newcomers to keep a close eye on.  Don’t forget to check out the key games that will ultimately determine the bowl fate of the boys from Oklahoma.
