In the program’s final season in the Big 12, the Oklahoma Sooners went 10-3 overall and 7-2 in conference play, ultimately falling 38-24 to Arizona in the Alamo Bowl.
The Sooners are now members of the SEC, hoping to replicate last year’s success under coach Brent Venables.
Any team that wins 10+ games at the FCS level is usually stocked with depth at each position, and for the Sooners that was particularly true at quarterback – evidenced by the fact that three QBs from last year’s roster are set to start at three different schools this season.
First there is last year’s starter, Dillon Gabriel, who is taking over for Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks after throwing for 3,660 yards and 30 touchdowns last season. Gabriel is a top candidate to win this year’s Heisman Trophy award and hopes to lead the Ducks to the CFP.
Next is Jackson Arnold, Gabriel’s backup last year who is now stepping into the starting role for the Sooners. Arnold completed 44 of 69 pass attempts last season, throwing for 563 yards and four touchdowns.
Finally we have all-name captain General Booty, who did not see the field last year for the Sooners but was recently named the starter at Louisiana-Monroe.
Booty will start for ULM and first-year head coach Bryant Vincent. The Warhawks face Jackson State followed by UAB and Texas to begin the campaign.
Booty had a 32-yard touchdown run during Oklahoma’s spring game last year, and should be one of the more fun non-Power conference quarterback transfers to watch this season.
