NORMAN, Okla. (AP) Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray didn’t start against Baylor on Saturday for the sixth-ranked Sooners.
Murray, considered by many to be a Heisman candidate, was replaced by Austin Kendall. Murray won the starting job against Kendall during fall practice.
A school spokesman would not say why Murray did not start.
Murray has passed for 1,028 yards and 11 touchdowns this season and has rushed for 240 yards and three more scores. He was in uniform and throwing during warmups.
Murray started against West Virginia last season when Baker Mayfield was disciplined for a gesture he made against Kansas. Mayfield, who eventually won the Heisman Trophy, entered the game on the second series.
