Josh walked in right out of a junior college with no one around him having an idea of what we're doing. Stoops doesn't want Hybl and White to try to be like Heupel, but he does want to see the poise under fire that became a Heupel trademark. Until he determines who performs best under pressure, Stoops is in no hurry to name a starter. That is something that, as you go through spring, as you go through scrimmages, as you go through games, you learn and find out. No one's to say that they don't have it.
All indications are that they do.
The first indication of the post-Heupel era will be on deep passes. Hybl and White can throw bullets downfield, as opposed to Heupel's rainbows. Mangino said stronger arms will enhance the offense, but a strong will is just as valuable. We just want our guys to be the best they can be. Josh is a special person, but that doesn't mean we can't get the same production out of that position.
