Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Kyler Murray carved up the UCLA Bruins on Saturday, leaving coach Chip Kelly rather frustrated.
No, Kelly wasn’t frustrated with his defense. He was more annoyed with Oakland Athletics executive Billy Beane, whom he jokingly felt should have done more to convince Murray to start his baseball career a year early.
Chip Kelly: The only person I'm disappointed in is Billy Beane, I wish he would have given (Kyler Murray) more money. Maybe he wouldn't have come back. #Sooners

Murray went 19-of-33 against the Bruins, throwing for 306 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. He has already signed with the A’s, but with the understanding that he’d play a year of football before embarking on his professional baseball career. Kelly can only wish Murray had made the jump immediately given what he saw from him on Saturday.
