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.
There is no reason why Bradford can’t be this year’s Colt McCoy. A redshirt freshman who takes over a veteran offense — good running backs, excellent receivers, experienced line — and plays well enough that the offense goes great guns, even if the quarterback is young and still learning.Sam Bradford has a chance to be the OU quarterback for a long time.

Don’t know why you INSIST on trying to hang the name “Kid” Nichol on him, but it isn’t sticking. You are the ONLY one calling him that & it sounds ridiculous. BTW, every report I’ve read says that he looked the best in Saturday’s scrimmage. IMO he is the most talented QB to come along in quite a while.
After today, i think nichol looked the best. He was the only one with accuracy and a touchdown. Advise
