NORMAN — Nearly two years ago, Oklahoma quarterback Trevor Knight stunned the college football world with his Sugar Bowl MVP performance against Alabama and appeared headed for greatness.

Today, Knight is the Sooners’ third-string quarterback and might transfer for his senior season.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops announced at a Wednesday news conference that Cody Thomas served as the Sooners’ backup quarterback for the regular-season finale at Oklahoma State and would also be Baker Mayfield’s backup in the Dec. 31 Orange Bowl against Clemson.
