Oklahoma Sooners coach Lincoln Riley has developed quite a reputation for himself in recent years. The young coach is often referred to as the ‘quarterback whisperer’. The reasoning behind that is his ability to mentor college quarterbacks and help them make it to the NFL.
The likes of Baker Mayfield (Cleveland Browns), Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals) and Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles) have made a name for themselves in the big league after leaving the Sooners. College football starlet Spencer Rattler might be the next to join that list, or maybe not.

Lincoln Riley-coached Oklahoma Sooners went up against the Texas Longhorns on Saturday at the Cotton Bowl as part of their NCAA schedule. The Sooners are without a loss this season with a 5-0 record. In contrast, the Longhorns have lost one game thus far and have a 4-1 record in 2021.
But one of the highlights of the game came early during the day. A wild fox entered the field on Saturday which left the crowd in splits ahead of kickoff.

The game is turned out to be a close affair. But rather than Spencer, it’s backup QB Caleb Williams is who had a game to remember. The youngster threw for 212 yards with 2 passing touchdowns as the Sooners came from behind to win the Cotton Bowl by a 55-48 margin.
