Red-Eye Rewind: Trevor Knight, one of the country’s most intriguing quarterbacks

College football’s 25 Most Intriguing Quarterbacks of 2014

"Trevor Knight, Oklahoma. A significant part of the optimism attached to the Sooners this season emanates from Knight’s revelatory Sugar Bowl performance: 32 of 44 passing for 348 yards and four touchdowns against Alabama. It was a departure from the disappointing form he showed during the regular season, when Knight was named the starter before the year and failed to keep the job. If the Sugar show was who Knight is going to be in 2014, the Sooners are going to be hard to stop. Read more at Yahoo Sports"

Bedlam 2013: Why OU’s Lacoltan Bester nearly wasn’t around for the play that changed it all

"Lacoltan Bester never would have made the game-saving swat that ultimately defeated Oklahoma State, earned OU a Sugar Bowl berth and turned the college football world on its head if he had walked away from football months earlier.
