Strong play keeping QB race going

Oklahoma is still waiting for at least one of its three quarterbacks to separate from the pack. Thursday, offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said it still hasn’t happened.

But he’s not punching the wall in disgust.

“Everybody says no one is separating. But it’s not because they’re all stinking. It’s because they’re all playing really good,” Wilson said. “I keep thinking it would be nice to decide, but I don’t have a problem with it because they’re all playing well.”

The Sooners conducted a mini scrimmage Wednesday and have their second major scrimmage planned for 6 p.m. Saturday at Owen Field.

Wilson said a lot Wednesday’s activities centered on goal line situations. Saturday’s scrimmage will also feature more of the running backs than quarterbacks.

The quarterbacks threw nearly 60 passes in last Saturday’s scrimmage. Wilson said that was by design, but the lack of balance took something away from his unit.

Running the ball is going to big part of OU’s game plan this season. Getting that phase of the game moving has taken precedence this week.

Still, the quarterbacks will get their fare share of attempts Saturday.

“We have to throw well,” Wilson said. “We’re not going to be a run-run-throw-on-third-down team. We’re not going to throw it 20 times a game and we’re not going to try to be 50-50. We have to be good enough to take what’s there. We need to be good to get the ball to our playmakers and we have playmakers on the perimeter. We’re going to get them the ball.”

Thursday’s practices were the final of the two-a-day segment of the preseason. The Sooners have one practice scheduled for today. It will be the final one before school starts Monday.

A third scrimmage is scheduled for Wednesday night. That could be the day the final decision on a starting quarterback is made.

Wilson offered no guess.

“All three of those guys are capable of playing,” he said, “and maybe they’ll all play … A decision is far from being finalized.”

Healthy scratch
