The guy that sucked so bad in 2017 is currently #2 in the Heisman odds playing for a guy who knows how to teach QB's.

Riley is obviously a very good quarterback coach, but it is also a factor that OU plays in a conference that has really bad defenses. I don't think OU has even gotten into that schedule yet, but I bet it's a good guess that the defenses they have played so far aren't much better than The Big 12. That aside, the only (part of) OU game I watched, most of Jalen's passes were within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. He could do that fairly well even in his freshman year.

I don't think that Daboll caused Jalen to regress. He just didn't develop him to get better as Dan Enos did last year, and Riley has this year. I think Daboll wanted to play Tua earlier even than the Auburn game. Daboll didn't look bad at all the 2nd half of the national title game.
