I have no idea why they settled on Beville. I didn't even finish watching the game. I turned it off late in the 2nd qtr. But from what I saw they were scared to let him throw down field.It's almost like Venebles has already lost the team.
And how the hell does OU not have a better backup QB than Beville? I'm not sure he'd start for a random Texas 4A team. I know Riley gutted everything on the way out, but still.
I've been arguing with Sooners fans online who want to make excuses for Venables and Lebby. They're claiming that Riley gutted the QB room left the position bare. That may be true but I've watched plenty of games with true Freshmen with less than 6 months on campus are playing and the offense still manages to look like a respectable college level offense. So IMO lack of experience is no excuse for not having a competent backup QB on the roster.
Plus Beville has 3 years of college experience under his belt. If you can't trust a guy with 3 years of Power 5 football experience under his belt to throw a 10 yard pass, why is he on the team in the first place?
