Somebody emailed that question today. Who is OU's tight end?

No idea.

We asked around.

Pedro Somebody? Lars Somebody? Somebody Johnson?

Nobody knew.

OU is a top 15 team known for its offense.

Five guys guys can get the football from the quarterback on offense. The fullback barely counts. He's a blocking machine. Every once in a while against an Iowa State he gets thrown a pass, juggles it, falls, snags it, and rolls out of bounds for a first down.

There's a runner and three receivers, two catchers being wide-outs.

That leaves the tight end.

This position is extremely important with national title contenders like Notre Dame.

Has OU's tight end even caught a pass this year?

Who is he? Why isn't he ever a part of the offense?

Have somebody ask Stoops at a press conference? Are you kidding? And get barked at? Maybe even thrown out? Asking where the tight end went is like asking about a pot raid. The only thing you get to ask at press conferences are things like, "How's the golf game?" "Is recruiting great as ever?"

Who's OU's tight end?

A former tackle?
