NORMAN — Cal transfer running back Jaydn Ott was more involved in Oklahoma’s offensive gameplan than at any prior point during the Sooners’ 44-0 win over Kent State on Saturday.

Freshman phenom Tory Blaylock still drew the start for the No. 5 Sooners, played the most snaps among OU running backs (36) and had the most productive day (15 carries for 78 yards). But Ott, the Sooners’ prized spring portal addition, finally got going.

Ott played 29 snaps, which was almost as many as the 32 he got in the four previous games. And, after entering play with nine carries for 17 yards on the year, Ott rushed 11 times for 49 yards in the victory over the Golden Flashes. He also lined up in the slot at times and caught two passes for 10 yards.
