NORMAN, Okla. -- A year ago, new Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley was still installing his Air Raid system while trying to figure out who would be his quarterback.By the end of the season, he had won the Broyles Award for the nations top assistant coach, quarterback Baker Mayfield had finished fourth in the Heisman balloting and the Sooners had qualified for the College Football Playoff.We played better as we went on, Riley said. Part of that, it was Year 1, and it was just a progression of it. We knew what our identity was the entire way, we just werent great at it, yet. Kind of around midseason, we started playing better and got some confidence, and we were able to take it from there.Now a much wealthier man after a significant raise, the 32-year-old Riley has much of the talent from last years squad back, including Mayfield and fellow Heisman candidate Samaje Perine at running back for the third-ranked Sooners.Not only is our team more equipped and totally now understands our offense -- whats required and all the little nuances of it, but now also, coach Riley knows what he has to work with, where a year ago, hes still piecing all that together, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. I just feel like overall, theres a lot more confidence and its a lot more fluid.Oklahoma will need all the offense it can get. The Sooners open with No. 15 Houston on Sept. 3 at Reliant Stadium, then host No. 6 Ohio State two weeks later. There will be no time for a slow start like the offense had last year.Theres certainly an expectation we have to be play better, Riley said. I think our guys have a strong understanding if we dont, were going to be in trouble. We play some real good teams in the beginning. We have to be very good, very early.Stoops has no doubt that Riley will have the team ready. Overall, the Sooners ranked fourth in school history in points per game (43.5), third in yards per game (530.2) and third in yards per play (6.80) last season. The Sooners posted huge numbers in two of their most critical games last year, victories over Baylor and Oklahoma State.Lincoln is really organized and very detailed and/or sure of what he wants to do, Stoops said. Therefore, the things we put on the field have been well rehearsed. Hes got a great feel for play-calling and mixing the run and the pass. Hes a great communicator with the coaches and the players.With Riley calling the shots, Mayfields 2015 season was one of the best at Oklahoma. He passed for 3,700 yards and 36 touchdowns, and his completion percentage was second in school history for a single season.Mayfield said Rileys value goes beyond the game plan.Hes not a guy thats going to yell at you, but at the same time, he can kind of crack the whip when he needs to, Mayfield said. I respect him a lot because he knows when to flip the switch and be serious, but at the same time, hes a guy you can just talk to and I very much enjoy that, to be able to go into the meeting room and when were not talking about football, to just be able to relax.Rileys biggest challenge will be finding ways to fill the void left by receiver Sterling Shepard, who has moved on to the NFL. Dede Westbrook, last years No. 2 receiver, had 46 catches for 743 yards last season. Mark Andrews, an All-Big 12 selection last season, had seven touchdown grabs. Geno Lewis, a transfer from Penn State, should fit in immediately.Stoops said balance is what Rileys offense is all about. The hope is more equal distribution of touches makes the offense even more difficult to defend.I think well be further along than that this year, where well have more guys contribute, Stoops said. Hopefully, in some of those games, 10 guys have receptions, multiple guys have several receptions. Thats what this offense is designed to do. I think well be more that way this year.---Freelance writer Murray Evans in Norman, Oklahoma, contributed to this report.---Follow Cliff Brunt on Twitter: (at)CliffBruntAP .Air Max 270 Pas Cher Chine .

Australia enter the fourth match of the five-game series with a 2-1 lead and a win, though far from making up for their humiliation in the Test series, would at least allow them to lift some sort of trophy on this trip.Khawaja will come into the XI for the first time in this series, after Shaun Marsh was ruled out of the remainder of the tour having broken a finger while fielding during Australias win on Sunday. The recall provides an opportunity for Khawaja to regain some pride after he was axed for the final Test of the Sri Lanka series, following scores of 26, 18, 11 and 0 in the first two Tests.It was a difficult time for everyone, not just Usman himself, Warner told reporters in Dambulla on Tuesday. We all have to have a bit of a reality check sometimes in regards to the way we play our game. Its such a tough environment to be over here. Unfortunately he did get dropped from the Test series. He took that very, very well. Hes been training his backside off in the nets.Hes been doing everything he can to put his hand up for selection. He accepts that he didnt have the runs on the board and hes been doing everything he can to get back in the team. Im really looking forward to seeing him come out and play the way he does. He scored a lovely 90 in the Caribbean and he played fantastic there, Im hoping he can come out here and do the same thing tomorrow.Khawaja is expected to be Australias third No. 3 this series, after captain Steven Smith filled the role for the first two games but then flew home for a break and was replaced by Marsh. Warner and Aaron Finch have been the opening combination all series but Waarner is yet to make a contribution with the bat, with scores of 8, 1 and 10 in the first three games.ddddddddddddIf you can find the answer, Ill take it, Warner said when asked how he could turn his form around. Thats just what happens with cricket. Sometimes youre in form, sometimes youre not. I feel like Im hitting the ball well. Ive had some good dismissals, Ive had a couple of poor shots here and there.But thats the challenge you face over here in these conditions. You always have to back your game plan and back your skills. Every time Ive gone out there, Ive done that. Unfortunately I havent got the runs on the board that are necessary. Ill be aiming to come out here and play my role as I normally do, try and have that intent from ball one.Despite his own lack of runs, Warner captained Australia effectively on Sunday in his first match in charge, juggling his bowlers well and showing an attacking mindset in the field. He said one of the challenges was to keep on top of the over rate given Australias reliance on fast bowlers, but that he had loved the experience of leading his country.I loved every minute of it, Warner said. I feel that the guys have taken it on board very, very well. You always have the respect from your peers, which is always fantastic. And I felt that the guys did everything I asked of them in the last game, and everything Ive asked of them at training. Theyve done everything Ive asked for, and I couldnt be any more pleased.The fourth ODI will be played on the same Dambulla surface as Sundays match, meaning it could be slow and dry right from the outset.
