Oklahoma football easily took care of Florida Atlantic, 63-14, at home. Which players earned our Blitz Stickers in Week 1?
There weren’t many doubts about a win in Week 1 for the Sooners, who pulled off a victory in a large margin against Lane Kiffin and Florida Atlantic.
Kyler Murray dazzled with his athleticism while the Oklahoma defense held one of the top runners from a season ago — Devin Singletary — in check.
Here are five players that earned Blitz Stickers in Week 1 of the season for the Sooners.
Kyler Murray completely dominated and diced up the Florida Atlantic defense. He didn’t play the entire game but still completed nearly 82 percent of his passes while throwing for 205 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions.
His pure athleticism was on display especially on a scramble when he quite literally ran circles around the Owls’ defense. Murray was flushed out to the left and then cut back right to gain a first down on a wild run.
Murray is tasked with filling the role left by Baker Mayfield, but the Sooners should not have to worries at all and will be in good hands with Murray under center this season.
