Watts at No. After re-injuring his knee against Texas in 1988, Holieway lost his starting job to Charles Thompson.
4 Florida State in the Orange Bowl that year, completing the upset in a commanding fashion, 24-7. The Sooners remained there following their win over Texas the next week, and now will continue to stay outside the top 25 for at least another week after having a bye on Saturday. I feel like Nate Hybl sometimes doesn't get the recognition he deserves and maybe that includes his No. The first two chose to go elsewhere and Morris de-committed from Arkansas.
Subjective opinion. Career Stats: 12,379 passing yards, 93 touchdowns, 41 interceptions; three rushing touchdowns.
Strong runner and a good decision maker.
Uiagalelei and Morris.
While Davis and Watts posted similar statistics, Davis definitely has two things that Watts didn't ever bring to the table: efficiency and national championships. Unfortunately, Heupel placed second in the Heisman Trophy voting to Florida State quarterback Chris Weinke, but I think it's safe to say that Heupel got his revenge. They're all on this comprehensive list of University of Oklahoma football players who have played as quarterback.
Career Stats: 3,084 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, 14 interceptions; 335 rushing yards, six touchdowns. Morris was Riley’s choice for months.

It’s a tough position to be in and one that Austin Kendall was in prior to Murray arriving with him as a transfer in 2015. 9 ranking on this list. He was just so good and was a home run threat; Thomas Lott- best of the running quarterbacks.
This scenario played out the exact opposite of what happened in 2000. As a junior, Thompson caught 11 passes for 106 yards and showed flashes of promise at the wide receiver position.
Holieway tore his ACL against the Oklahoma State Cowboys late in the 1987 season, and even though he rehabbed in the offseason, he wasn't at all the same option-quarterback in the 1988 season.
This competition feels a lot like the years prior with an upset by the underdog very unlikely.
His eight touchdowns to 19 interceptions ratio for his career is not something you want out of a starting quarterback. 1 quarterback in the 2020 recruiting class, Bryce Young, but it did not scare away a lesser ranked quarterback.
And his leadership was the best. Still, that loss wasn't enough to keep the Sooners out of the Orange Bowl, where they beat Michigan 14-6 and were awarded the national championship. Clemson stays at No. Due to the style of which college football has changed, the quarterback position has continued to evolve. Thompson's surprising play led the Sooners to an 11-3 record and a conference championship over the Nebraska Cornhuskers. As much as Riley would like everyone to, it’s hard to ignore the notion that Rattler was put in over Mordecai in the Peach Bowl against LSU.
With Mildren at quarterback, the Sooners would lose the National Championship in the ‘Game of the Century’ 35-31 to Nebraska. This is especially true when it comes to Oklahoma football. Featuring some of the greatest college quarterbacks of all time, the best Oklahoma QBs include Sam Bradford, Jason White, Josh Heupel, and Landry Jones. Jones has also been fortunate enough to play in a pass-first, spread offense.

Unfortunately, the Sooners came up short against Florida's stifling defense. 1 selection in the NFL draft following his 2008 season, but he elected to come back to school with the hopes of competing for a national championship again—and there was no doubt the Sooners would once again be one of the best in the country.

Whenever you're making a top-10 list of anything, there's bound to be some controversy.
White was a consensus All-American, AP Player of the Year, Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, the Davey O'Brien Award recipient, the Jim Thorpe Courage Award recipient, and, most importantly, the Heisman Trophy recipient. Bradford won the Heisman over Florida quarterback Tim Tebow, the two went on to meet in the national championship and Tebow's gutsy playing and Florida's defensive performance gave them the victory. Now, the two will go through a competition in fall camp to make the decision. Who are the greatest quarterbacks in Oklahoma Sooners history? Regardless, whatever you want to classify Watts as, there's no arguing he was solid at his job.
Coming back for his senior season was a wise decision, and he'll need to work on his mobility and pocket presence before he ventures into the NFL.

Baker Mayfield , Sam Bradford , Jason White, Josh Heupel and Landry Jones served as Nos. His 153.47 passer efficiency rating ranks as the third highest in Oklahoma history. Collins was awarded the starting position as a redshirt sophomore in 1990, but Gundy took over quarterbacking duties six games into the season and never looked back.
It’s no secret that Spencer Rattler’s talent has wow potential.
That's 117 more pass attempts than Josh Heupel's most (500), 134 more pass attempts than Sam Bradford's most (483) and 166 more pass attempts than Jason White's most (451). Gundy never finished with a record better than 9-3 (1991, 1993), and he was never awarded with All-American contention, but Gundy finished his career with over 6,000 passing yards which remains good enough for fifth all-time among OU quarterbacks. Let's not kid ourselves.
Jones was fortunate enough to take the quarterbacking reins from Sam Bradford during his freshman season—this gave him time to mature as a quarterback and compile his grotesque amount of passing yards and touchdowns.
This Oklahoma football roster has famous All-Americans, Oklahoma quarterbacks in the NFL, and Sooners players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. No surprises here. 8 on Oklahoma's career passing yards list.
The Sooners ended up losing that game to Nebraska, but Hybl led his team to an 11-2 overall record, including a Cotton Bowl victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks.

Lincoln Riley is going through his third quarterback competition in as many years despite the public perception that the job has already been won.
In terms of passing, J.C. Watts was not one of the top-10 quarterbacks in Oklahoma history.
Heupel's two-year stint as the Oklahoma starting quarterback will be most remembered for his national championship win, but he also finished that season as a consensus All-American and a Heisman Trophy finalist.
I think we all remember how that ended... For being a starting quarterback for only one season, Thompson is still No. 1 after slaughtering Georgia Tech on Saturday, with the top five being rounded out by Alabama, Notre Dame, Georgia,... Oklahoma is a team that is not used to being without a ranking in front of their name, but that's how it will stay for at least one more week in the Amway Coaches Poll powered by USA Today Sports.

Despite redshirting, beginning two seasons as a backup and tearing both of his ACLs, White still finished his career with nearly 8,000 passing yards and 81 touchdowns to only 24 interceptions.
