Early in their 58-17 smashing of the previously undefeated Wildcats, Oklahoma faced a short goal line situation. Sooner fans may have been wondering what was going on as Landry Jones jogged off the field and freshman quarterback Blake Bell took his place in the backfield.

This mistification quickly turned to jubilation when Bell took the shotgun snap and followed his backs and big-eaters up front into the endzone on his first play.

They had just witnessed the debut of the newest wrinkle in the offensive arsenal for the team in Crimson and Cream.

Oklahoma tried this new scheme with mixed success several times during the game, including Bell's second attempt, when he turned a third and short into a 4th-and-4 after fumbling the ball on a botched zone-read keeper in the first half. 

Bell finished with five carries for a net of seven yards and one TD, but the first play was definitely a positive sign for a team that had been pedestrian, at best, in redzone scoring situations so far this season. 

Is this the answer Stoops Troops have been looking for to convert those precious scoring opportunities into seven points on a more consistent basis?

Only time will tell, but it will give opposing defenses one more thing to think about as they game plan for an offense that moves the ball down the field like an executives' well-tuned Porsche but had all-too frequently broken down in the redzone like a teenagers' P.O.S.
