Oklahoma makes QB change after Spencer Rattler’s rough start
Published:
After finding himself in a huge hole, down 28-7 against rival Texas, Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley made a move to try and spark the Sooners offense back into life.
Starting quarterback Spencer Rattler was struggling, and after losing a fumble that helped the Longhorns extend their lead to 35-17, Riley made the move to bring in true freshman Caleb Williams.

Before coming out of the game, Rattler was just 8-of-15 for 111 yards, with an interception to go along with the lost fumble.
It was on a 4th down play when Williams replaced Rattler at the start of the 2nd quarter, and he scampered 66 yards for a touchdown.
At the half, Texas held a 38-20 lead, and who will be under center for the Sooners in the second half will have to be seen.
