Oklahoma is off to a hot start this year. They have a Heisman candidate QB, a good receiving corps, and some phenomenal running backs. This group has led them to a 6-0 start, with a statement win over Texas today. This is the norm though, and it will take more than an explosive offense to make the Oklahoma Sooners National Champions.<\/p>

The Sooners Offense Will Carry Them<\/h2>

The Sooners are still a Big 12 team. For those who do not know, the Big 12 has not given a damn about defense for a while, only caring about offense. Oklahoma’s offense has been great, and the man behind it is Lincoln Riley. What he has done with Jalen Hurts is nothing short of Amazing. Jalen was known as a “run first QB” and he still is. Jalen has rushed for 499 yards and seven TDs this year. However, why Jalen could be a Heisman winner <\/a>is his improvement in the passing game. Jalen is completing 75.2% of his passes for 1,523 yards to go along with 14 TDs and two INTs. Jalen’s been great, but his supporting cast has also been phenomenal. <\/p>
The Rest of the Offense<\/h3>
Going into Saturday, CeeDee Lamb had 18 receptions for 439 yards and seven TDs. Simply put, this is the man the Sooners offense goes through. During the Red River shootout, CeeDee added 10 receptions for 171 yards and three TDs<\/strong>, including this pretty flea flicker from Jalen. <\/p>
