Can somebody summarize why he ultimately left OU?

Was he benched/replaced?

Did he have trouble on the field?

Baker Mayfield took his spot. He graduated and could transfer to play immediately. Easy.

No, Knight was benched because Stoops was tired of all the phone calls from Katy Perry trying to hookup with Trevor.

Not necessarily. Stoops felt obligated to give him a chance, he responded favorably, so Stoops decided to stick with him.

Bakers Offensive Cord. was at Tech . Baker knows that offense and is comfortable in it. He is also very good in that style. You put him in another type of offense maybe Knight starts over him. It has more to do with who is more comfortable in a Tech. Leach style offense. The offense here will be. built around the things Knight does well. He will do those things just as well as Baker does the things Riley designs for him.

Exactly

Knight can and probably will be very good in Mazzone's offense.

The arrival of Knight and Mazzone really bailed us out of a bad spot with a wheels off O that we had in the second half of the season.

Baker better fit the offense they wanted would be a better way to describe it.

Seamaster,

Just being honest, not trying to be negative, but I have watched many OU games, since I live up here these days. Short of his game against Alabama, Knight did not do much. His stat lines were highlighted by interceptions and he just struggled to find the groove he found against Alabama and thus lost his starting position to Baker. That is the reality of his situation, however he seems to have come a long way since then, plus his work this offseason should make people optimistic about what he can do for A&M.

He wasn't very good at playing football. In summary.

Knight was a middle of the road qb at OU, and it wasn't just the system. OU has always run a qb friendly system and they get a lot of cream puff defenses in the Big 12 to boot. If you don't do well in those circumstances, you've got some skill issues of your own, period.

That said, he's a redshirt senior this year, which is a far cry from the redshirt fish and sophomore he was during his 2 years starting at OU, and qb, due to its intense mental component, is the position that benefits most from experience. So I expect that he'll be markedly better than he was at OU (don't expect the moon and stars, though, because he's not going to deliver them).

Another chance for Lateralus to be negative toward the Ags and he doesn't disappoint!!

At this point, glad to have a 'no drama' QB that works hard, is humble and can fit and contribute in the offense.

If the Saints ran the zone read or the wishbone Drew Brees would get benched. Some offenses just are a better fit for some quarterbacks. It doesn't matter if Baker is better than Knight in the Sooners offense as long as knight can execute the Aggies offense the way Mazzone wants and needs Knight to run it. Sorry for using common sense in the zoo.

Two issues plagued TK @OU; injury prone and inconsistency. When he was good he was off the charts good. Other times, not so much. Many think he was never the same after being temporarily paralyzed on the field after a vicious late hit by Shawn Oakman. There is one mitigating factor that was not necessarily of his making. We had him in a Pistol/Zone read scheme but would let hime run fearing injury. Zone read doesn't work if the QB seldom keeps it. He is a great young man and a true leader. He will be an asset to your program but it remains to be seen if he can ever approach his magical Sugar Bowl performance.

I'm thinking that might be an over simplification.

I am sure it is. But the point is still very true. I have seen it to many times. As long as Knight executes Mazzones offense the way it is designed it doesn't matter if he is better than Mayfield. The A&M offense will be designed and ran to best fit Knights skills, just as OUs is for the style Mayfield plays. Good coaches put their kids in a position to be successful. That is why I didn't like Spav. It doesn't matter who Knight is better or worse than. All that matters is he executes the A&M offense.

To make something clear that a lot of people forget... Trevor Knight wasn't beat out by some guy.. He was beat out by the 4th best player in college football according to the Heisman Voting.. I think Trevor is going to be an absolute beast with us!
