Lebby is an offensive mind. At the helm of Oklahoma’s offense Lebby has led a scoring offense that ranks 3rd in the country in points per game (43.2) behind only LSU and Oregon.

The Sooners averaged 502 yards per game this season, making Oklahoma one of just 4 teams across the country averaging above 500 yards per game.

We’ll see if the Bulldogs can find a similar spark on offense once against under Lebby.
