Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have some really experienced quarterbacks this season.

Who will be starting it on the bench.

Trevor Knight, owner of a Sugar Bowl win for Oklahoma and 16 career starts, won't be the first quarterback on the field Sept. 5 for the Sooners against Akron. Baker Mayfield gets the chance to be the first-team quarterback.

At Oklahoma State, J.W. Walsh is 7-3 as a starter for his career and nearly led the Cowboys past Florida State last season, falling 37-31. Mason Rudolph, who has three career starts, is the new quarterback at OSU when the Cowboys open the year at Central Michigan.

Knight is a team captain – the second year in a row he's been named to that spot. Walsh is guy who the Cowboys have used as a starter and off the bench.

Both Walsh and Knight provide amazing depth at a position where most teams are quite thin. Both are seniors.

Both will also start the season on the bench.
