Preparations are underway for the 2021 Valero Alamo Bowl between the No. 14 Oregon Ducks and No. 16 Oklahoma Sooners, which will be televised nationally by ESPN.
While a pair of 15-minute halves doesn’t exactly provide a whole lot for fans to draw conclusions from, it was rather interesting to see how some of the newcomers could potentially contribute later this fall and throughout their Sooner careers.
Offense
As previously mentioned, OU’s offense began the spring game trailing its defense, 21-0, and for a while it appeared that the ‘D’ didn’t actually need the extra help with a solid first half performance. Eventually, Oklahoma’s ‘O’ closed the gap before taking and holding onto a late lead.
Unsurprisingly, Spencer Rattler opened the spring game as QB1 and looked like his normal, active self on the field. Statistically, he wasn’t the most prolific passer on the day, but the general rule is that everything in a team scrimmage should be taken with a heavy grain of salt. Overall, the third-year Sooner completed six of 14 pass attempts for 116 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.
