According to Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports, Oklahoma will not be starting Heisman-hopeful Kyler Murray on Saturday.

The Sooners plan on starting sophomore QB Austin Kendall against Baylor, who has completed 8-of-10 passes for 88 yards and a touchdown this season.

Forde says that Murray has been benched for disciplinary reasons, but we can expect to see him still play major minutes on Saturday.

Through four games this season, Murray has completed 60-of-88 passes for 1,028 yards, 11 touchdowns and two interceptions.
