Oklahoma prepares for Clemson QB Watson

 

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) The three best quarterbacks Oklahoma has faced so far – TCU’s Trevone Boykin, Baylor’s Seth Russell and Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph – were injured when their teams played high-stakes games against the Sooners.
Without the experience of dealing with those elite quarterbacks, Oklahoma will face its toughest test – Clemson’s first-team All-American and Heisman finalist, Deshaun Watson – in a national semifinal on Thursday.
Russell sat out with a neck injury, and Oklahoma beat Baylor 44-34. Boykin missed the game against the Sooners with an injured right ankle, and Oklahoma escaped with a 30-29 win. Rudolph had a foot injury, and he played briefly in Oklahoma’s 58-23 victory.
Oklahoma’s defensive players say some practice time against their own quarterback, second-team All-American Baker Mayfield, has them prepared.
