Bell’s the guy as Sooners ramp up for Fighting Irish
The football gurus said Blake Bell’s performance against Tulsa gave him a pass efficiency rating of 202.4.
I don’t know what the heck that means. But, I don’t need any football stat to tell me that Oklahoma has found their quarterback.
No disrespect to Trevor Knight — he’s the future (and a bright one indeed, regardless of his shaky start in the first two games of this season) — but Bell’s 27 of 37 passes for 413 yards in the air and 24 yards of effective scrambling, won him the job.
More importantly, Bell looked comfortable and leader-like in the Sooners 51-20 win over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.
This should come as no surprise. Bell has been on Owen Field enough the last two years as the “Bell Dozer” — always in pressured situations in the red zone (remember his game-tying TD in Bedlam last year that gave the Sooners the opportunity to win in overtime?).
