Redmond (6'3/266) has had issues with blood clots in the past, but OU HC Lincoln Riley said on Monday that his current health concern is not related. The redshirt freshman had played in the first 11 games of the season before staying back in Norman this past weekend while the rest of the team traveled for their Bedlam date with Oklahoma State. Redmond logged 16 tackles (7.0 for loss) and four sacks during the regular season. His status for the conference title game figures to clarify in the leadup to kickoff.

Hill was quiet through the game’s first quarter but he eventually began to rack up catches in the second. Hill is still plenty spry but he was unable to separate from Denzel Ward on what would have been a monstrous catch-and-run score, instead settling for an explosive gain as Ward eventually pulled him down post-catch. In an effort to facilitate big plays however possible, Mike McDaniel allowed Hill to join the punt return squad. He fielded one for 18 yards. Hill is a high-end WR2 against the Jets in Week 18 though his target share would be mildly threatened if Jaylen Waddle (knee) returns.

Huntley executed Mike McDaniel’s game plan effectively, dinking and dunking his way downfield from start to finish. He threw short of the sticks on 61.5 percent of his passes but received helpful yardage boosts from his speedy running backs and tight ends. Huntley’s best play was all his own though; a 13-yard rushing score in which he shook three would-be tacklers before leaping into the end zone. Had the Dolphins faced a high-powered offense, it is unlikely Huntley could have delivered the win but credit to him for beating the opponent he was given. Huntley is a mildly intriguing QB2 if he gets the start against the Jets in Week 18.
