A High School Football Field Somewhere
OFFENSE:

QB: Baker Mayfield - 95 - Mayfield's first half may have been his best this season, great work w/ feet and arm.
RB: Samaje Perine - 84 - Perine was good but still hasn't found his feet in this offense.
RB: Joe Mixon - 91 - Mixon is a game-changer when the ball is in his hands.
WR: Dede Westbrook - 90 - Westbrook had one bad drop but hard to knock him much.
WR: Sterling Shepard - 95 - Sterling doing Sterling things.
WR: Durron Neal - 82 - Quiet day but not bad.
OT: Orlando Brown - 93 - Thought it was the best I'd seen an OL play this season. Still working on pass pro.
OG: Jonathan Alvarez - 81 - Might have been his best game.
C: Ty Darlington - 84 - Sooners looked much better in blitz recognition this week.
OG: Nila Kasitati - 76 - A fairly Kasitati-like game, some good some bad but nothing too strong in either direction.
OT: Dru Samia - 73 - He wasn't great or anything but he did some decent things.


DEFENSE:

DE: Matt Dimon - 85 - Bit of a quiet day but was part of a DL that dominated.
DT: Jordan Wade - 89 - When he plays, he plays well - lack of playing time always been the question.
DE: Charles Tapper - 83 - Tapper just hasn't looked himself all year, why? Who knows.
LB: Eric Striker - 87 - Striker made some nice early impacts, including a few plays against the run.
LB: Dominique Alexander - 85 - Alexander is becoming more and more consistent.
LB: Jordan Evans - 82 - Evans didn't have a great day but is key part of defense Sooners need.
LB:
P.L. Lindley - 84 - Lindley nearly had a big pick early but was solid on the edge.
CB: Jordan Thomas - 91 - Thomas is starting to go to another level at corner though today was little challenge.
S:
Steven Parker - 84 - Parker was solid but wasn't as impactful as we've all become accustomed.
S: Ahmad Thomas - 80 - Very quiet day, but that may be a good thing for Sooners.
CB: Zack Sanchez - 93 - This was a big play weekend, makes one wonder what next will be?


SPECIAL TEAMS:

K/P: Austin Seibert - 83 - Seibert wasn't asked to do a ton and nearly shanked a FG but was solid.
KOR: Alex Ross - N/A - Is it possible to have less of an impact and have it be no fault of his?
PR: Sterling Shepard - 70 - On the flip side, such a quiet day when having so many chores?


KEY RESERVES:

WR: Michiah Quick - 86 - Quick is finding his role in the offense and is gaining Mayfield's confidence.
RB: Daniel Brooks - 87 - The near perfect game for who he is and what he brings - big change of pace.
DT: Marquise Overton - 91 - Can the Sooners keep him off the field once Romar returns if that's what you'll get?
DE: D.J. Ward - 87 - Ward has been coming on for a few weeks but this was his strongest effort to date.
NB: Will Johnson - 86 - Looked a little better than it was but a definite improvement in secondary.
DE: Charles Walker - 88 - Quiet day but running over Cody Whitehair? Wow, just says what he can do.

Avg. Grade: 85.5
