Oklahoma Sooners Quarterback

[WorkHorse]

With the departure of quarterback Landry Jones and his 39 career wins (most in school history), the Oklahoma Sooners are looking for a new leader to man the offense. The top three candidates are redshirt junior Blake Bell, redshirt sophomore Kendall Thompson, and redshirt freshman Trevor Knight. Bell is the only one of the three with any game experience having played in 20 games, mostly in short yardage situations as a runner. Over two seasons, he has rushed 104 times for 361 yards and 24 touchdowns.

While Bell is the only quarterback with any game experience, the competition was spirited this spring with Thompson and Knight very much in the mix. Finding the right quarterback and replacing two new receivers will determine much of the Sooner success this season. The positive for whoever the new quarterback starter will be is that he will have four veterans returning on the offensive line.

Blake Bell, (6-6, 263), 10 of 20 for 115 yards, 0 TDs and 1 Int, Rivals 4-star recruit.
Trevor Knight (6-1, 202) Rivals 4-star recruit.
Kendall Thompson, (6-1, 191) Rivals 3-star recruit.

Thompson just managed to get himself arrested on Friday morning for being drunk in public and interfering with a police officer. Probably not a big deal, but not a smart move.

Thanks Suicide....hadn't heard that.

At least he wasn't driving...if one is trying to find a positive out of Mr. Thompson's
adventure.

Kendal Thompson was arrested last Friday morning on misdemean complaints of public intoxication and interference with official process, according to Norman Police Department. Thompson, 20, was arrested about 2:15 a.m. after police responded to a loud party call. As they approached the apartment comples where the party was, police noticed Thompson passed out on a nearby hill. After getting Thompson to his feet, a "struggle" took place and police took Thompson into custody and booked him into the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office.

Thompson is the son of former Oklahoma starting quarterback Charles Thompson. Head coach Bob Stoops said the matter would be handled internally.

Blake Bell will become a poor man's Tim Tebow. He had 13 rushing TDs last year NOT starting. Just extrapolate those results over an entire big XII season.

How many snaps did he see between the 20s, or with more than 4 yards to go? He was a redzone specialist for the large part.
