Question: Who wrote the screenplay for "Steve Jobs"?

The movie “Steve Jobs” had all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. It had a starry cast (Kate Winslet, Jeff Daniels, Michael Fassbender). The screenplay was by the acclaimed writer Aaron Sorkin (who also wrote “The Social Network”). And it received rave reviews (“‘Steve Jobs’ is a rich and potent document of the times,” wrote my colleague A.O. Scott.) But the movie tanked at the box office, earning about $18 million in the seven weeks after its Oct. 9 release. Perhaps Hollywood had overestimated the public’s fascination with the man. Perhaps the film came a couple of years too late or a couple of decades too early. Or perhaps we have Steve Jobs fatigue, after all the books, movies and documentaries on the visionary Apple co-founder. But perhaps most surprising is the way in which Silicon Valley relished in, and contributed to, the film’s demise.

Question: what type of investments do Mutual fund analysts think are dangerous?

“When the market is pricing assets that low, you should worry,” he said. Mutual fund analysts say that the Third Avenue fund is perhaps the riskiest of the many high-yield funds that investors have been piling into in recent years. Mr. Lapointe and his team of analysts acted more like private equity investors, taking large stakes in companies that were either already bankrupt or emerging from bankruptcy. Unlike most funds that hold bonds that can be bought and sold, albeit with some difficulty, private equity funds are not required to pay back investors on demand — it is a must for mutual funds.

Question: Who ended the military agreement with the United States?

That is why the answer to defeating Boko Haram begins and ends with Nigeria. That is not to say that allies cannot help us. My administration would welcome the resumption of a military training agreement with the United States, which was halted during the previous administration. We must, of course, have better coordination with the military campaigns our African allies, like Chad and Niger, are waging in the struggle against Boko Haram. But, in the end, the answer to this threat must come from within Nigeria.

Question: How old is Omar Shalabi?

TEL AVIV, Israel — An Israeli court on Tuesday sentenced a Palestinian for incitement and for supporting a terrorist organization based on Facebook posts that applauded militant attacks, his lawyer said. It was a rare case in which statements on social media were regarded as a crime. The defendant, Omar Shalabi, 45, a father of six from East Jerusalem, was sentenced to nine months in jail for 10 posts to his 5,000 friends and 755 followers that urged them to undertake “violent acts and acts of terrorism,” said the Hebrew-language indictment. Legal rights groups said it was unusual for an Israeli court to accept speech on social media as a basis for conviction. But they said that in recent months the Israeli police had detained several Palestinians from East Jerusalem and Arab citizens of Israel for incitement over comments made on their social media networks.

Question: A director of what is James Roundell?

“In the old days you had a small market. Now globalization is a huge factor,” said James Roundell, a director at the London and New York dealer and adviser Dickinson, who, while working at Christie’s in 1987, represented the winning Japanese telephone bidder for Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers.” That $39.9 million was the first of the modern “art boom“ prices. “There’s a lot of fashion involved, and people are buying for show,” Mr. Roundell said. “I’m not sure that many of them are buying for the love of the object. For some, particularly wealthy Americans, it’s all about playing the market. Back in the early 20th century, collectors would buy a painting, live with it in their own home and leave it to a museum. Now it’s about acquisition, not collecting.”

Question: What is the name of the theater in the West End?

Because of an editing error, the Frugal Traveler column last Sunday, about a budget-friendly day in London, misstated, in one instance, the name of a theater in the West End. As the column correctly noted elsewhere, it is the St. James, not the St. James’s. The column also referred imprecisely to a route to the Stepney Green Underground station in East London. While it is possible to get to Stepney Green from Victoria station on the Circle line in 23 minutes, it requires a transfer; it is not direct. (The District line takes about the same time and is direct.) MAGAZINE

Question: What program is ms pierpont a graduate?

This is the first novel by Ms. Pierpont, a graduate of New York University’s creative writing program, and it shows a remarkably mature understanding of the delicate emotional balances in families — how feelings can flow back and forth like electricity in some kind of zero-sum game — and the subtle, irrational vicissitudes of people’s psyches. We follow first one character and then another as each tries to manage what has happened. It is an old story, a crumbling marriage, but Ms. Pierpont gives it fresh insights, making the particular unhappiness (and occasional happiness) of the Shanleys by turns poignant, funny and very sad.

Question: What are most of the works in the exhibition A New World to Come like?

★ ‘For a New World to Come: Experiments in Japanese Art and Photography, 1968-1979’ (through Jan. 10) This exceptionally informative exhibition presents photographs, photography books, paintings, sculptures and videos produced by 29 Japanese artists during a decade of ideological disillusionment following the utopian excitement of the 1960s. Most of the works are black and white and driven by abstract concepts, with many focused on the nature of photography itself. It’s a dry show, but it’s fascinating for its revelation of memes and trends that continue to resonate in photographic art around the world. Japan Society, 333 East 47th Street, Manhattan, 212-832-1155, japansociety.org. (Johnson)

Question: What vehicle did Ms. Upi previously use for delivery products before she became successful?

In a testimonial for “Chain of Confidence,” Ms. Upi said that when she started out as a Tupperware saleswoman, she had to deliver products to customers using public transportation minivans. But within two years, she says, she was earning enough that she bought a new car and a house. “I became more confident, knowledgeable and disciplined,” she said. Ms. Amelia, the saleswoman at the Villa Mutiara party, had a similar tale. Six years ago, she was trying to keep afloat a restaurant that she ran in South Jakarta with her husband. Then she was invited to a Tupperware party that she said changed her life.

Question: When is the next deadline?

The next deadline is likely to come in late June, when the Supreme Court decides whether residents of states that use the federal insurance marketplace have wrongfully been given subsidies to purchase insurance. If the justices side with the plaintiffs against the Obama administration, they will have done far more to dismantle the Affordable Care Act than the House and Senate budgets. The documents mandate its repeal and include expedited parliamentary rules, called reconciliation, that ensure that legislation to repeal the act cannot be filibustered in the Senate. Republican leaders in both chambers would move quickly to replace the health care law with a temporary measure that does away with the law’s mandates, regulations and tax increases, and then move toward a broader replacement bill. That first effort would probably be vetoed by Mr. Obama, setting the stage, Republicans hope, for bipartisan negotiations over the summer to find a health care alternative. “That determines when we get to move a robust replacement bill” for the Affordable Care Act, Mr. Ryan said of the Supreme Court decision.

Question: What process does Puerto Rico use instead of bankruptcy?

Q. How is Puerto Rico different from a state? A. Puerto Rico is a commonwealth of the United States. It is a distinction that, for years, has carried many of the advantages of being a state and few of the downsides. Most notably, Puerto Rico receives federal assistance, but most of its residents do not pay federal personal income taxes. But the lack of statehood is now hurting the island at its time of greatest need. Unlike states, which can authorize their municipalities to declare bankruptcy, Puerto Rico has no such access to bankruptcy courts for its government entities. That has left the island facing a chaotic debt restructuring with no legal referee. While there are proposals on Capitol Hill to give Puerto Rico bankruptcy powers, the island’s status hurts here, too. Puerto Rico’s lone representative in Congress has no vote, which has hampered the bills’ progress.

Question: Why do girls often mute their headsets when gaming?

Ms. Wiseman, who studied gaming habits among middle- and high school-aged people, said girls face elevated scrutiny over their gaming skills. They describe harrowing experiences in web-based multiplayer games where participants talk through headsets. When a girl’s voice chimes in, the reaction from other players often follows a certain script. “It’s something about they’re a slut, they’re fat, they’re ugly, or they are bad at the game,” she said. As a result, girls will often mute their voices.

Question: Which stocks jumped in the market?

Markets started the day higher, propelled by a jump in energy stocks, but then quickly gave up the gains. A comment by the chairwoman of the Federal Reserve, Janet L. Yellen, suggesting that stocks were generally overvalued added to the selling pressure. Uncertainty over how quickly interest rates will climb also weighed on markets as yields on bonds continued to rise. Some market experts say they think the Fed will have to increase its short-term rate relatively soon to fight inflation. The yield on the 10-year United States Treasury note rose to 2.25 percent, its highest level in two months.

Question: Who was elected as governor?

But on Thursday, members of the Vermont House and Senate elected the state’s governor — by secret ballot. They chose Peter Shumlin, a Democrat, giving him his third two-year term. That’s right: 179 state legislators had the final say, not the 193,603 voters who cast ballots for governor in the Nov. 4 election. “Thank you all for making it possible for me to be able to give this speech today,” Mr. Shumlin told legislators a few hours later as he delivered his inaugural address in the House chamber. “Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” He had reason to be grateful. In November, Mr. Shumlin won only 46.4 percent of the vote, not the 50 percent required by the Vermont Constitution to claim victory outright. He was nearly toppled by Scott Milne, a little-known Republican businessman, who won 45.1 percent.

Question: What kind of viewpoint regarding gays and other social issues?

The public-relations push extends to the very private brothers themselves. In December, David Koch, who lives in New York, sat for an interview with Barbara Walters of ABC and described his liberal beliefs on gay rights and social issues. In April, Charles Koch, who for many years granted only the occasional interview to his hometown newspaper, The Wichita Eagle, answered questions from USA Today. In recent months, Freedom Partners, the nonprofit that oversees the Kochs’ political donor network, has also persuaded some of its donors to put their names to op-ed articles in national and local newspapers, helping shift attention away from the two brothers. Because nonprofits do not disclose their donors, it is impossible to know how much of the Koch network’s spending is underwitten by the Kochs themselves. But several hundred like-minded donors are members of Freedom Partners and more than two dozen donors have signed the op-ed articles, which take up familiar Koch causes like abolishing the Export-Import Bank or cutting the size of the federal government. “Charles Koch’s amazing. He gets death threats all the time, and there’s a lot of misinformation out there,” said Chris Rufer, a self-described libertarian and the founder of Morning Star, the world’s largest tomato processor. “They called and said, ‘Would you sign on to this?’ ”

Question: How many yards short did the boat stop?

SAN PEDRO, Calif. —  The boat stopped 300 yards off San Nicolas Island at 5:30 a.m. Monday, and Zach Jirkovsky was among those who stirred from his bunk. An environmental engineer, he had been to the island two years before for work, and ever since, he had been thinking about a return trip and about swimming the 70-mile channel back to the Southern California mainland. It was far too great a distance to bridge alone, so he asked his friends from a swim group called the Deep Enders in Ventura, Calif., to take on the challenge as a relay. Most of the Deep Enders were collegiate swimmers once upon a time, and all had serious channel crossings on their résumés.

Answer: 300 yards

Question: What satirical site does Joe Thomas mention in talking about the TMZ article?

4:05 p.m. Line: Chargers by 9 The supposed quarterback controversy in Cleveland may be about page views more than reality. TMZ reported that some Browns starters were pushing for Johnny Manziel to regain the starting position. But players have flatly denied it. “My first take was that it sounded like a story that came from The Onion and not TMZ, not that TMZ’s really a reputable news source with hard-hitting journalism,” Joe Thomas, the team’s left tackle, said at a charity event. “But to me, it was just something that was crafted from thin air.”

Question: What was stuffed with eggplant and pickled onion?

On a balmy September evening, the place was marked by the hushed whispers of diners trying to figure out their first dish, ourselves included. After a cursory, but necessary, explanation from one of the chefs, we all tucked into fresh tortellini stuffed with eggplant and pickled onion in an Iranian lemon bouillon with chunks of orange-hued Mimolette cheese. This was followed by a flavorful herb-marinated beef carpaccio sprinkled with crushed peanuts, pickled cucumber and veils of radishes, then a buttery-smooth monkfish tail with maki rice chips and ginger-sautéed broccoli purée. Sesame ice cream crowned with crumbled hazelnuts and fresh figs ended the meal. Going against the local grain, the wine offering is a careful edit of foreign producers. “The idea behind the wine was like our cooking: Make it as international as possible,” Mr. Lahaut said.

Question: How many individuals were killed in the terrorist attack directed at the magazine Charlie Hebdo?

The brutal terrorist attack on the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in Paris on Wednesday has badly shaken France. But the French have reacted with a fierce determination to defend their freedoms. President François Hollande, speaking from outside the magazine’s office a couple of hours after the murder of 12 people, was crystal clear: This was an assault, he said, on “the expression of freedom” that is the “spirit of the republic.” Two heavily armed attackers, who apparently knew the magazine’s staff would be gathered around a table late on Wednesday morning for a weekly editorial meeting, forced themselves into Charlie Hebdo’s office and shot 10 people dead, including the top editor and prominent cartoonists. Two policemen were also killed. At least 11 other victims were wounded. The gunmen then fled with a third accomplice in a waiting car. One of the three later surrendered to police, but the other two, who are brothers, remain at large.

Question: What was the first Roman Catholic Cathedral in Brooklyn?

For a Roman Catholic church, an organ is much more than an instrument. It has an almost sacramental power, resounding for godly glory. It sings hymns as another member of the congregation, a part of the community. It breathes new life as its community does. So Msgr. Kieran E. Harrington explained on Sunday afternoon, as the open doors of the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph let the blare of Prospect Avenue into its sanctuary in Prospect Heights. This sanctuary, Brooklyn’s second Roman Catholic cathedral (the first was the Cathedral Basilica of St. James), has recently undergone an $18.5 million renovation, and it glistens with a clean, golden sheen. Only now, however, has its organ been restored. At the dedication ceremony and concert this past weekend, the gifted young organist Christopher Houlihan proved that the family firm charged with the overhaul, Peragallo, has done an immaculate job.

Question: Which bill did Mr Ryan need a replacement for?

Answer: the health care law

The next deadline is likely to come in late June, when the Supreme Court decides whether residents of states that use the federal insurance marketplace have wrongfully been given subsidies to purchase insurance. If the justices side with the plaintiffs against the Obama administration, they will have done far more to dismantle the Affordable Care Act than the House and Senate budgets. The documents mandate its repeal and include expedited parliamentary rules, called reconciliation, that ensure that legislation to repeal the act cannot be filibustered in the Senate. <hl> Republican leaders in both chambers would move quickly to replace the health care law with a temporary measure that does away with the law’s mandates, regulations and tax increases, and then move toward a broader replacement bill. <hl> That first effort would probably be vetoed by Mr. Obama, setting the stage, Republicans hope, for bipartisan negotiations over the summer to find a health care alternative. “That determines when we get to move a robust replacement bill” for the Affordable Care Act, Mr. Ryan said of the Supreme Court decision.

Question: When was the governor's most recent announcement delivered?

Mr. Samson resigned as chairman of the Port Authority board in March 2014, and recently retired from his law firm, which adopted new leadership and a new name. Bill Baroni, the former deputy executive director of the Port Authority, who was also reportedly at the dinner, resigned as the Christie administration came under growing scrutiny over the lane closings. Mr. Christie’s announcement about Mr. Fox’s departure, which came shortly after 5 p.m. on Friday as state residents hunkered down for a weekend of heavy rain while watching the path of Hurricane Joaquin, was notably terse. Unlike the governor’s statements about the resignations of Mr. Baroni, Mr. Samson and others involved in the federal investigation, it did not include words of praise for Mr. Fox’s service.

Question: how is the mustang in the statue depicted?

Inside John Jay, which sits on a busy thoroughfare near Lackland Air Force Base, a statue of a giant white mustang stands near the entrance, rearing up with a front hoof reaching skyward.

Question: Who was sold Johannsson's rights?

Johannsson has played with the Dutch club AZ Alkmaar since 2013, scoring 38 goals in 84 games across all competitions. He will depart after having led the club to three important wins to end last season and propelling AZ into a surprising third-place finish that earned the team a place in the Europa League this season. On Tuesday, AZ announced that it had agreed to sell Johannsson’s rights to Werder Bremen. Johannsson still needed to agree to a contract and pass a physical; those could be completed as soon as Wednesday. “Once they came and were interested, it was a pretty easy choice, because obviously I want to play for a better team in a better league, and the Bundesliga is one of the best leagues in the world,” Johannsson said in a farewell interview posted online by AZ. “It’s a step in the right direction for me, and hopefully it will go well.” The move now makes Johannsson the only American forward likely to see regular minutes in one of Europe’s top leagues. Clint Dempsey was the last American to establish himself in an elite league; his best season was in 2011-12 with Fulham, when he scored 17 goals in the Premier League and 23 over all.

Question: When did happen the break-in?

In hindsight, the security cameras, wire and lights Mr. Mondella installed after a break-in about eight years ago seemed strange, Mr. Murano said, especially after investigators told neighbors that a large sum of money had been taken. “I didn’t think he was protecting the Dye No. 7 or his equipment,” he said. Yet the factory seemed nothing if not successful. Mr. Mondella had expanded the plant multiple times, neighbors said, and he had bought warehouses and satellite facilities on other streets nearby. Hurricane Sandy devastated much of the rest of the waterfront neighborhood, but left the Dell’s factory intact.

Question: Besides Maltese, what is the other official language of Malta?

Malta’s citizenship program, which offers a passport to those willing to pay 1.2 million euros, about $1.3 million, has been controversial since it was introduced more than a year ago. But the residency requirements, meant to make the program more palatable, are only increasing the consternation among critics, who say the program has resulted in the sale of citizenship to the global 0.1 percent. Applicants must show they have rented a property in Malta for 12 months. But they do not necessarily have to spend any time in this Mediterranean island nation, raising the question of what genuine links they are establishing. “It is questionable how the residency requirement is being applied,” said Tonio Fenech, a member of Malta’s Parliament Lawyers, accountants and real estate agents say the citizenship program has catapulted Malta onto the radar of the global elite. Applications are pouring in, and the program aims to raise €2 billion, more than a quarter of Malta’s gross domestic product. “We want to attract individuals who can add value to our country because of their ideas, and their networks and their businesses and their talent,” said Jonathan Cardona, chief executive of Identity Malta, which administers the Individual Investor Program. Housed in a sprawling, fortresslike 16th-century building once used as a hospital, the Malta citizenship program nods to the country’s multicultural past, punctuated over the years by invasion. The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Fatimids, Normans, Sicilians, Spanish, French, a European lay religious order and the British all tried to conquer or rule Malta, and many succeeded. Maltese, the official language with English, looks and sounds Arabic, but its speakers are primarily Roman Catholics who pray to Allah, or God.

The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Fatimids, Normans, Sicilians, Spanish, French, a European lay religious order and the British all tried to conquer or rule Malta, and many succeeded. Maltese, the official language with <hl> English <hl>, looks and sounds Arabic, but its speakers are primarily Roman Catholics who pray to Allah, or God.

Question: What did Mr. Lukyanov say?

“The Russians have fought what is largely a proxy war in eastern Ukraine — and on the cheap, too,” Mark Galeotti, a military analyst, wrote in Foreign Policy magazine. “Even the government in Kiev, which is prone to alarmism, estimates that Russia has deployed, at most, some 9,000 troops.” But the conflict has also reached a point where Russia would have to commit significant new resources for any further advance, which helped clear the way for a settlement to consolidate its gains, Mr. Lukyanov said. The separatists “cannot advance very much without direct Russian involvement, and Russia does not want to get directly involved,” he said.

Question: Who has to accept this idea?

They’re prisoners of a cruel delusion. I don’t see how a loving God could put them in such an impossible position. Then you can add this to the popular arguments against Christianity. But again, the Christian idea is that God asks the seemingly impossible of all of us — and, fortunately forgives us when we fail. Nobody has to accept this idea, but if you do it’s compatible with a lot of pain, struggle and mystery where humanity encounters God. Especially in a faith whose “Happy Easter” can’t be separated from the cross.

Question: In what area of Iran is Pouze Khoon located?

POUZE KHOON, Iran —  The early-morning sun meagerly brightened the gloom of this sad township, a collection of empty, crumbling houses along a highway through the dusty desert landscape in southeastern Iran. Until a decade or so ago, Amin Shoul would come here every year to help his father harvest pistachios, the nuts that are as much a symbol of Iran as caviar. Now, with the last reserves of groundwater tapped out, the family’s grove and the seemingly endless fields beyond it are filled with dead trees, their bone-colored branches a deathly contrast to the turquoise sky. Mr. Shoul, 32, a journalist, said he and his family had moved away years ago, leaving the house to squatters, unemployed laborers living off meager government stipends — and even they had started to leave. “I don’t see how we can ever return to the past,” he remarked, matter-of-factly.

Question: How much was the settlement with General Motors?

Harry Reid, the Senate Democratic leader, and Nancy Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, visit in the afternoon. MARKETS • U.S. prosecutors unveiled today a $900 million settlement with General Motors over its failure to disclose a defect in ignition switches tied to at least 124 deaths. G.M. admitted that it did not disclose the flaw to federal regulators and falsely represented to consumers that the vehicles posed no safety concern. The defect led to the recall of 2.6 million small cars last year.

Question: How much money would taxpayers need to raise for the revitalization?

Their main pitch: The overhauled plan, updated from a widely panned version first offered in January, would generate millions of dollars in new tax revenue, create tens of thousands of new jobs and produce thousands of new housing units, parks and other neighborhood amenities that would provide a lasting legacy. And with taxpayer help, to the tune of more than $700 million, the Games would spur the much-needed upgrade of the transportation infrastructure, improving local roads as well as the beleaguered subway system. Officials argued that these were costs that taxpayers would have to bear regardless of whether Boston won the Olympics. The plan went into great detail on how the Games would transform two Boston neighborhoods: Widett Circle, the home of a temporary Olympic Stadium, and Columbia Point, home to the athletes’ village.

Question: Agreements of what length are considered to be almost worthless, according to the author?

Your claim that the negotiations place tough constraints on Iran rings hollow, based on the permissibility of Iran’s keeping its nuclear installations and the large number of centrifuges still allowed. Furthermore, a 10-year limit to an agreement makes it almost worthless. ANTHONY WINSTON East Brunswick, N.J. To the Editor: As a Democrat who supports Israel, I am saddened and dismayed that its prime minister would use the podium of one of our most hallowed political institutions to bad-mouth a deal that has not even been struck. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Answer: 10-year

Question: How did Mr. Garcia describe his feelings about the weather?

For many New Yorkers this week, as the blizzard panic lifted from the city, the pressing culinary question on Tuesday was, “Now what do I do with all this Dinty Moore?” One answer was just to walk away, perhaps to find a table someplace where the snow outside maintained its fleeting Currier & Ives majesties. Why not? With Tavern on the Green shuttered because of the weather, scenic duty fell to the slight remove of the restaurants of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle, where the trees of Central Park displayed dustings of white thingamajigs suspended perilously above their inevitable future as unloved street slush. Quiet descended on the city, cocktails and Pat LaFrieda beef products descended on the polished black tables of the Stone Rose Lounge, and stranded tourists consoled themselves for having to spend an extra night in the world’s greatest city. Poor babies. IN THE SEATS At a tall table facing the fourth-floor windows, Noelle Galperin and Ernie Garcia, from Miami, shed no tears for the flight that was supposed to take them home earlier in the day. Ms. Galperin, 46, is a management consultant; Mr. Garcia, 38, runs a financial services company. Both are self-employed. Neither had pressing needs back home. “That’s the beauty of cellphones,” Ms. Galperin said. “We worked a little bit in the morning, took a conference call, and tomorrow we’ll do a little of that. As self-employed entrepreneurs we’re always working, but it’s not bad. We like it.” As for the weather, which scared away much of the usual bustle, Mr. Garcia said he was happy for a little winter. “It was nice to cool down,” he said. “We came from 80-degree weather, so this is a treat.”

Question: What was the cause of death of Ms Sabbagh?

Ms. Sabbagh was walking in a small group of fellow party members on Saturday with a wreath of flowers to lay in Tahrir Square to honor demonstrators killed there during previous protests, according to a witness account and a video recording of the scene. When her group took up the Arab Spring chant for “bread, freedom and social justice,” a contingent of masked riot police officers as numerous as the marchers “fired bullets and gas within minutes,” according to a testimonial posted on Facebook by Azza Soliman, a prominent human rights lawyer who was nearby at the time. In the video, the police officers are seen firing guns from across a narrow street. A friend, crouching down, grabs Ms. Sabbagh around the waist as she stands upright with blood running down her face. Then he is seen hurriedly carrying her away while the gunfire continues. A forensic report said birdshot fired at close range had pierced her lung and heart, according to news reports. The deaths on the anniversary of the revolt were predictable, rights activists say, because the swift use of firearms has become de facto police policy toward any unauthorized public assembly, especially in downtown Cairo. On the anniversary last year, more than 50 people died in clashes with the police.

Question: Where is Jay Norvell coaching now?

Much has changed on offense for the Sooners. Coach Bob Stoops replaced the offensive coordinators Josh Heupel (now at Utah State) and Jay Norvell (now at Texas) with Lincoln Riley, who installed a spread “air raid” offense. Baker Mayfield, a walk-on transfer from Texas Tech, won the job of starting quarterback over Trevor Knight, who led the Sooners over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl two seasons ago. Mayfield could be poised for a big game. Last week, Tennessee allowed 433 yards passing. Fans in Knoxville are dying for a big victory, and Neyland Stadium is sure to be rocking. Oklahoma is the favorite on the road, but this one promises to be close. 20 Boise State at B.Y.U.
