NORMAN — With the game no longer in question, the Sooners’ top players received their curtain call.
But as OU’s supporting cast took to the field to put the finishing touches on a 59-20 home win over West Virginia on Saturday, freshman quarterback Jackson Arnold remained on the sideline. The Sooners instead went with redshirt senior Davis Beville.
It surely wasn’t the decision fans hoped for, but it was a calculated one.
Arnold has played in four games for the Sooners. That’s exactly how many games the NCAA allows a football player to participate in during a redshirt season, meaning Arnold won’t be able to redshirt if he sees the field again.
