Dave: Rattler better than you think, but still not there yet

Cool weather can’t get here soon enough. Man it was hot in the stands Saturday. Especially if you were like me and had seats on the east side. The only thing that made it bearable was of course watching the Sooners in a solid win to kick off the season.

Nothing fancy as I would be surprised if Josh turned past page one in the playbook. Trevor Knight managed the offense well with some nice passes to Shepard, who is easily the most valuable player on the offense.
