And now the moment we all have been waiting for!

It is officially here. The start of the 2005 football season, and it couldn't come any sooner for me. This also means that today is the start of the long awaited battle for the starting quarterback position at OU. Who will emerge as the starting quarterback for the Sooners? I think that Rhett Bomar will be a great player in his time, but I have to give my nod to the experience that Paul Thompson brings to the table. I think that Paul will provide the type of leadership that can only come from the experience that he has. The rumor mill is grinding on the fact that the third player in the race, Tommy Grady will be transferring after two-a-days. Grady is a great player in his own right, but it will be hard for him to compete with Bomar and Thompson.

The ability level is so high among the three that any could likely step in and play well. The question mark lies in experience and leadership. Grady and Thompson have seen only late-game duty, while Bomar, one of the nation’s top-rated prospects in 2003, has yet to take a college snap.

Let me know who you think will win the job.
