If Mayfield goes down in the playoffs then we can forget it it. Neither Knight nor Thomas can step in and get anything done.Knight had the best bowl performance by an OU quarterback I ever saw, and there have been some good ones.
It is even more crucial that Mayfield stays healthy. Cody Thomas hasn't played more than a handful of plays so OU is really walking a tight rope as far as QB depth is concerned.
Best wishes Trevor. Does releasing him mean that Cody Thomas passed him on the depth chart?

I doubt it. I think it means that Trevor is in the same class as Baker and has already redshirted, so there is no "waiting his turn."
Considering where he was a little less than two years ago, he's fallen a ways. But Baker is just a better player.
Kyle Allen wanting to transfer to OU. He was Mark Andrews QB in high school. Texas Ags is saying that he has been released to transfer.
Except for the last quarter of the OSU game last year I thought Thomas played well. Not as fast as Knight but a decent runner. Would be a good backup for next year and may improve. Wish Knight well.
I saw him play pretty well against both Tech and KU and in the first half of the OSU game. Didn't he start like 6 for 6? And did not have the ridiculous pick 6's that Knight did (TCU, KState, Clemson). Clearly not as good as Mayfield but probably on par with most big 12 backups other than Baylor.
Trevor is a great kid. Hate to see him go. He's going to regret not being able to wear a national championship ring if we win it all.
