NORMAN, Okla. -- Redshirt freshman Sam Bradford was named Oklahoma's starting quarterback Tuesday, ending a three-way competition.
Bradford emerged as the clear winner Saturday when he completed 12 of 17 passes for 130 yards and four touchdowns in a scrimmage, distancing himself from junior Joey Halzle and freshman Keith Nichol.
"We are going with Sam because he earned the position," coach Bob Stoops said in a statement. "We expect both Joey and Keith to continue working hard and competing for playing time just like all our players do at every position.
"There may be an opportunity for them at some point and it will be important for them to be ready."
Stoops said the decision was made Sunday, and Bradford was the Sooners' first-team quarterback during practice Monday. He was expected to meet with media after practice Tuesday evening.
