Bradford the man

It’s 9 a.m. Saturday, the OU scrimmage is two hours away and the broiler hasn’t’ been turned on yet. It will be, of course.

I’m amazed every August that we don’t have more serious health situations arising from football in 100-degree heat. It’s brutal out there.

My advice for fans: wear something on your head, drape a towel around your neck, don’t stay too long and don’t be consumed by the quarterback derby.

I think the QB race is over, before the scrimmage. I said it in April and I’ll say it now. All signs point to Sam Bradford.

Insiders say the offense really is clicking in practice, and it’s clicking with Bradford. Kid Nichol could still turn into a good quarterback, but this job is Bradford’s to lose, and not in today’s scrimmage. The games will have to unseat
Bradford.
