Keenum — first regular-season start since Dec 2023. Three TDs.
Case Keenum started for injured Caleb Williams (right hamstring). Tyson Bagent had cleared concussion protocol on Sunday and backed up Keenum.

Desk colour / desk call: Anthony’s call on Keenum was right — Keenum was brilliant. That is desk colour, not a box-score fact.
