Who's the QB?

FOX Sports - COLLEGE FOOTBALL - 25 biggest off-season quarterback battles

3. Oklahoma: If Sooner fans weren't happy with Rhett Bomar last year, they're going to loathe him this fall. Bomar got himself booted from the program, leaving Oklahoma in a precarious situation behind center. This from a school that appeared loaded at quarterback just a few years ago. Paul Thompson was terrific in 2006, but he's out of eligibility, leaving the offense with a trio of kids who have two games and two passes of experience between. On seniority alone, junior Joey Halzle rates an edge over true freshman Keith Nichol and redshirt freshman Sam Bradford, both of whom are more decorated than the former junior-college transfer. One extra year as the backup helps, however, Bradford and Nichol have vast upsides and are already competing for the job this spring. Halzle should get the nod in September, but will be real vulnerable if he stumbles and one of the freshmen matures overnight.
Prediction: Halzle

Should be interesting!
