STADIUM Sun Bowl History 2 0 0 9 S EAS ON

The first Sun Bowl game was played on Tuesday, Jan. 1, 1935, as a fundraising event for the El Paso Kiwanis Club. The club was seeking to raise money for underprivileged children and to finance improvements to the El Paso High School Stadium.

COACHING STAFF

The game featured a team comprised of El Paso high school all-stars against the Ranger (Texas) High School Bulldogs. The All-Stars won 25-21. The success of that first game resulted in the founding of the Sun Bowl Association, whose threefold purpose was to present an annual football attraction of national importance, to promote El Paso and the Southwest, and to generate tourist income for the area.

THE SOONERS

The public was invited to suggest a name for the game. Dr. C. M. Hendricks, who would become the association’s first president, offered the name “Sun Bowl.” In 1936, the first collegiate Sun Bowl game was played. New Mexico A&M (now New Mexico State) and Hardin Simmons College tied 14-14.

Sun Bowl Stadium The first three Sun Bowl games were played at El Paso High School stadium. In 1938, the game was moved to Kidd Field, a 15,000-seat stadium at Texas Western College (now UTEP). The first game played in the new Sun Bowl Stadium was on Sept. 21, 1963 when the seating capacity was just over 31,000. An expansion to the eastside stands increased the Sun Bowl seating capacity to over 51,000.

The fourth Sun Bowl in 1938 was moved to the 15,000-seat Kidd Field on the campus of Texas School of Mines and Metallurgy (later renamed Texas Western College and known today as the University of Texas at El Paso). In 1963, the game was moved to the new 30,000-seat Sun Bowl Stadium.

HISTORY

The first game played in that expanded stadium was on Christmas Day, 1982. In 2001, hundreds of seats were removed in order to soccer-size the stadium, which gave the Sun Bowl a capacity of 50,426.

SEASON R EVI EW

During these early years, it became a tradition to match the Border Conference Champion against the best available opponent.

The 1982 game was the first Sun Bowl game in the newly-expanded Sun Bowl Stadium of over 51,000. In 2001, hundreds of seats were removed in order to soccer-size the stadium. The stadium’s new capacity is 50,426.

the sooners briefly

150 ALL-AMERICANS

Oklahoma endured one of the strangest seasons in its 115-year history in 2009. Ranked No. 3 in the preseason poll, the Sooners watched as six starters, including a returning Heisman winner at quarterback and a returning All-American at tight end and two others who had achieved All-Big 12 honors during their careers, went down for the season with injuries. That, coupled with the nation’s second-most difficult schedule, left the team with a 7-5 mark. • Despite the setbacks, OU is headed to a bowl for a school record 11th consecutive time, a figure that coincides with Bob Stoops’ tenure at the school. • This team has two All-Americans in OT Trent Williams (AFCA, Walter Camp) and DT Gerald McCoy (Walter Camp). McCoy also was one of four finalists for the Rotary Lombardi Award. • Eighteen OU players earned recognition on the All-Big 12 Conference team picked by the coaches. Williams, McCoy, CB Dominique Franks and LB Travis Lewis were first-team picks. • This season ended a run of three consecutive Big 12 Championships for Oklahoma. The Sooners have won six total, twice as many as any other program. No other Big 12 team has ever won backto-back titles. This season also ended a run of four straight BCS games. • This team had 19 seniors, 14 on scholarship. Of those 14, four were lost for the season to injury and another was declared ineligible before the season began.

Of those six games, only one occurred in Norman: the Sooners’ 27-0 win over then-No. 11 Oklahoma State in the regular season finale. Only the 2008, 1975 and 1972 OU teams played more ranked foes (seven each). The team that played the most ranked foes away from Norman was the 2006 squad (six). • The teams OU played away from Norman combined for a record of 54-20, while those that visited Owen Field were 31-40. • Here are some of the games in future seasons: at Cincinnati (2010); Florida State (2010), at Florida State (2011); Notre Dame (2012), at Notre Dame (2013); Tennessee (2014), at Tennessee (2015); Ohio State (2016), at Ohio State (2017); LSU (2018), at LSU (2019). • Under Bob Stoops, OU has already played regular season, non-conference contests against Louisville, Notre Dame, North Carolina, Alabama (twice), UCLA (twice), Oregon (twice), Washington (twice), South Florida, Miami (twice) and Cincinnati.

OU lost six starters for the season, five on offense, three in the offensive line -- QB Sam Bradford, TE Jermaine Gresham, G Brody Eldridge, OT Jarvis Jones, DE Auston English, C Ben Habern. • In Bob Stoops’ 11 seasons at Oklahoma, the Sooners have lost a 27 players to season-ending injuries (2.5 per year). This team had more than any other squad during his tenure. In fact, from 2002-05, OU lost a total of five players to season-ending injuries, one less than this year’s total. Not so ironically, the 2000 national championship team lost no players to season-ending injuries. • Sam Bradford, the 2008 Heisman winner, sprained the AC joint in his right shoulder in the second quarter of the season opener, then aggravated the injury on the second series of game six vs. Texas. The only game he completed uninjured was game five vs. Baylor. Bradford set 15 school records. Among those are career passing yards (8,403) and TD passes (88). • Jermaine Gresham had knee surgery in early Sept. He had 26 career TD receptions, seven shy of the NCAA record, and more TD catches and yards (1,629) than any TE at OU. • Brody Eldridge played C, TE and G before a neck injury at Nebraska. He was the only BCS player in ‘09 to start at three different positions, the first Sooner ever to do so in one season. The senior had the top grade in all five of his line starts. He had 66 knockdowns (20 vs. BYU). • Auston English injured an ankle at Nebraska. Career stats: 18.5 sacks, 28.5 TFL and 92 TT. • Jarvis Jones fractured a heal at Nebraska, Oklahoma’s ninth game of the season. • Ben Habern dislocated an ankle at Texas Tech. Habern took over the starting center job for game two and remained in this position until being lost during game 11. • Only Syracuse, Washington State and Arizona State lost more starters to injuries this season. ASU and OU were the only two schools to lose at least three starting o-linemen.

In 1,151 games, the Sooners have scored 30,795 points, or 26.7 per game. Michigan has 29,877 points in 1,213 games and Nebraska 29,721 in 1,211.

keeping up with jones

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER

Oklahoma has two players on the same roster with at least 40 career touchdowns. Chris Brown has 45 and DeMarco Murray 44. • In 2008, that same tandem teamed with Sam Bradford to set an NCAA record as Oklahoma was the first program to have two 1,000-yard rushers and a 4,000-yard passer in the same year.

2 x 2,000

Chris Brown and DeMarco Murray are the sixth tandem in school history to exceed 2,000 career rushing yards while playing on the same roster. • Brown, a senior, has 2,877 yards, while Murray, a junior, has 2,444. Brown is 123 yards shy of becoming the ninth 3,000-yard rusher in school history. • Here is the elite list of players who eclipsed 2,000 career rushing yards while holding down a spot on the same Oklahoma roster ... 1971 -- Quarterback Jack Mildren, Running Back Greg Pruitt 1972 -- Running Back Greg Pruitt, Fullback Leon Crosswhite 1975 -- Quarterback Steve Davis, Running Back Joe Washington 1978 -- Quarterback Thomas Lott, Running Back Billy Sims, FB/RB Kenny King 1986 -- Running Back Lydell Carr, Running Back Spencer Tillman 1987 -- Running Back Lydell Carr, Quarterback Jamelle Holieway 2005 -- Running Back Adrian Peterson, Running Back Kejuan Jones 2009 -- Running Back Chris Brown, Running Back DeMarco Murray • It appears that a string of five consecutive seasons in which OU produced a 1,000-yard rusher may end, but that’s due to the team’s substitution pattern. Brown (703) and Murray (678) have combined for 1,381 yards while dividing 321 carries (Brown 170, Murray 151). By the way, those 321 combined carries are just 10 more than the nation’s leader in rushing attempts -- Stanford’s Toby Gerhart.

Sam Bradford finishes as the NCAA leader in career pass efficiency rating at 175.62. He broke the mark held by Boise State’s Ryan Dinwiddie 168.89 (‘00-’03). Bradford led the NCAA in pass efficiency in each of his two full seasons of eligibility to become just the fourth player to lead that statistic in two straight years joining Nebraska’s Jerry Tagge (‘70, ‘71), BYU’s Jim McMahon (‘80, ‘81) and Michigan’s Elvis Grbac (‘91’, ‘92). That trio never came within 40 attempts of the 483 Bradford threw in 2008.

For the season, Ryan Broyles leads the team with 76 grabs for 964 yards and 12 touchdowns • Twice this season (Tulsa, Kansas), Ryan Broyles logged 11 receptions in a game. The school record is 12 (Juaquin Iglesias vs. Kansas, 2008). • Broyles posted outstanding numbers despite missing significant time due to injury. He was out for the Baylor game (an outing that would have provided his lone opportunity this season to play a full game with Sam Bradford) and left the Miami game after Oklahoma’s first series (already had one catch for 37 yards against the Hurricanes). • The sophomore is the leading scorer on the team with 14 touchdowns (12 receiving, one rushing, one punt return) and 84 points. If Broyles finishes as the leading scorer (he has an 18-point lead over DeMarco Murray), he will become the first wide receiver to do so in the 72 years that Oklahoma has been tracking football statistics (started in 1937). • Broyles’ nine rushing attempts have gone for 75 yards and one touchdown, a 25-yard scamper against Texas A&M. He also attempted one pass, at Texas Tech, but it was intercepted.

Oklahoma lost four offensive line starters to graduation after the 2008 season and then lost three more to season-ending injuries this season ... • The four players who are not back started 148 games at OU. Three are in the NFL -- OT Phil Loadholt (Vikings), C Jon Cooper (Vikings) and OG Duke Robinson (Panthers). • The returnees entered the 2009 season with 44 games and 22 starts. • Ten different players have had starting assignments on the OU line this season with eight different combinations. In 2008, the same combination started the last 13 games in a row. This season, the longest streak that featured the same five starters was three games. • Over the last two seasons, Oklahoma quarterbacks have been sacked 32 times in 26 games. During that same time frame, they threw 955 passes. The Sooners were sacked during that time frame just once for every 29.8 passes they threw.

about the sooner defense

• OU has forced at least one turnover in 128 of Bob Stoops’ 144 games and has at least one interception in 95 of the last 125; multiple picks in 45 of the last 96 outings. • Oklahoma has 11 shutouts under its current head coach. Opponents failed to score more than seven points 32 times and scored less than 15 in 60 games.

giving ‘01 a run By many accounts, the 2001 defense was the best of Bob Stoops’ 11-year tenure. The ‘01 team has the better of it in passing and total defense, but is getting a severe challenge in the rushing and scoring defense categories.

• For the bowl game, OU is projected to start just three seniors on the defensive side of the ball.

DEFENSE NOTES

No easy road for this defense

Oklahoma played seven of the top 50 scoring teams in the country and six of the top 40 total offenses (Stanford will add one opponent to each of those categories) ... • Of the seven top 50 scoring offenses, only one, Texas Tech, reached its scoring average. The other six scored a combined 135.12 points below their average or 22.5 points per game. • OU saw five of the top 20 passers in the nation, four of the top 24 receivers, two of the top 245 rushers, five of the top 15 in total offense and three of the top 15 in all-purpose yards.

behind enemy lines

• Oklahoma has 37 sacks on the season. This team has been consistent in sacking the quarterback too, notching at least two every game. The best one-game total for the season was six, but there were four other games with at least four. • Over the last two seasons, OU has 79 sacks (3.0/game) while allowing 28 (1.1/game). This year, OU has sacked the opposing quarterback 37 times for 237 yards, while allowing just 15 for 124. • Oklahoma’s defense has 94 tackles for 384 yards in losses compared with just 61 for 268 by their opponents.

PAY DIRT PRECIOUS THIS YEAR

The 2009 Sooners have permitted just 18 offensive touchdowns (rushing or passing) by their opponents. That’s the lowest total since 2001 when the defense gave up 14. This year’s foes have seven rushing touchdowns and 11 passing touchdowns. • One of the TD rushes came at Nebraska after an INT was returned to the OU one-yard line. • Oklahoma has been particularly stingy in the first quarter, allowing just 13 points all season. The only two teams to score opening period points this year were Texas A&M (10) and Texas Tech (3). • With three shutouts this season, Oklahoma has its best total since the 1986 team notched a whopping five. This marks the 15th time that a Sooner team has logged three or more in one season, but the first time it has occurred under Bob Stoops. The record of eight shutouts was set in 1938. Prior to this season, OU had not blanked an opponent since a 59-0 win over Middle Tennessee State on Sept. 23, 2006.

Weakside linebacker Travis Lewis led Oklahoma last season with 144 tackles (No. 4 nationally and a freshman school record, Brian Bosworth’s mark of 133). • He leads again this season with 100. Lewis averages 8.3 tackles per game, down from last season’s 10.3, but it should also be noted that OU opponents are running four fewer plays per game this season than last. • Lewis has five double-digit tackle games this season and 11 in his 26 career games. • The sophomore is at 243 career tackles. Daryl Hunt owns the school record of 530. To crack the top 10, Lewis would have to eclipse Lee Roy Selmon’s total of 335.

DEFENSIVE MISCELLANY

• Oklahoma has 28 takeaways. The team converted 15 of those into scores amounting to 97 points. • The OU defense has scored in each of Bob Stoops’ 11 seasons. The only position that has not scored a touchdown during that time is defensive tackle. • OU set a school record with 17 TFL vs. Idaho State. • OU held Nebraska to 39 passing yards, the lowest total of the season. The lowest passing total vs. a Stoops-coached team was 13 yards by Arkansas in the 2002 Cotton Bowl.

A look at OU’s standout defensive linemen, tackle Gerald McCoy and end Jeremy Beal ... • McCoy, a junior, has 39 career starts. Those starts have come consecutively and are the longest string ever by a Sooner defensive lineman. The record for most consecutive starts at any OU position is 44 by RB Quentin Griffin (1999-2002). • He has made 32 or 42% of his 77 career stops behind the line of scrimmage. • Beal has 18.0 tackles for loss (No. 14 nationally) and 11.0 sacks (No. 10 nationally) ... • His 11 sacks are tied with Cedric Jones (1995) for No. 4 in OU history for one season. The school record of 14 is held jointly by Martin Chase (1997) and Cedric Jones (1994). • He had a career-high 12 tackles vs. Texas. • He is the only player in school history to log two, three-sack games in the same season (Tulsa, Miami). • With 20.5 career sacks, he is tied for No. 6 in OU history with Aubrey Beavers (1990-93).

Ryan Broyles and Dominique Franks are the first two OU punt returners to log 100-yard games in the same year. • Broyles is No. 3 nationally at 16.48. OU’s team rank is No. 3 (16.7). Franks is averaging 17.0 ypr, but doesn’t have enough attempts to be included in the NCAA stats. Broyles had an 87-yard punt return for a touchdown against Oklahoma State, one of four punt returns the Sooners have taken back for at least 50 yards. • Franks had a 30+ yard punt return in three straight games while subbing for an injured Broyles. • Franks had four returns for 100 total yards against Baylor, the first 100-yard punt return game by a Sooner since 2003. Broyles then went for 102 on six returns at Nebraska.

Tress Way averages 45.5 yards on 57 punts with 15 downed inside the 20 and 20 of 50+ yards ... • He ranks No. 4 nationally and No. 1 in the Big 12 in punting average. • The best average achieved in Bob Stoops’ tenure at Oklahoma was 42.8 yards in 2006. Way ranks No. 2 all-time at OU to Jack Jacobs, who set the season mark at 47.8 on 40 punts in 1940. • Way is coming off a six-punt, 58.8-yard average (school record) against Oklahoma State. He launched a 74-yarder and had two downed inside the 20. The 74-yarder was the longest by a Sooner since Michael Cohen’s 75-yarder against Texas A&M in 2005. Way also had a 71-yarder at Miami and is the first Sooner since 1980 (Michael Keeling) to have two 70-yarders in one season.

POTENT PUNT RETURN TANDEM

SPECIAL TEAMS STUFF

• Oklahoma ranks No. 1 nationally in punt return defense. Opponents have returned 15 punts for a total of 22 yards. Tress Way has punted 57 times with 12 touchbacks and eight fair catches. • Last season, OU opponents returned four kickoffs for TDs and averaged 23.8 per return. This year, there has been one TD and the return average is down to 20.4. • Walk-on Patrick O’Hara has emerged as OU’s placekicker. He has made 5-of-7 FG and all six PAT attempts. A transfer from Washburn University (D-II school in Topeka, Kan.), he had never played in a football game until he kicked against Texas A&M. He has played several years of competitive soccer. His 47-yard FG at Tech was the longest by an OU player since 9/15/07. Jimmy Stevens, last year’s kicker, and Way also have taken turns on placements this year. • Matthew Moreland, who handled kickoffs last season, is in that role again this season. Way is Moreland’s backup.

OU Staff in Bowls*

• Oklahoma is in the Sun Bowl for the third time. The previous visits came in 1981 (40-14 win over Houston) and 1993 (41-10 win over Texas Tech). • Oklahoma is playing in a Texas-based bowl for the sixth time. In addition to the Sun Bowls, the 2001 team won the Cotton Bowl in Dallas over Arkansas, 10-3; the 1970 team tied Alabama in the Bluebonnet Bowl at Houston, 24-24, and the 1968 team dropped a 28-17 decision to SMU in the Bluebonnet Bowl. • This marks the first bowl meeting that pits Oklahoma against Stanford, but the two are not complete strangers. There have been four other meeting with OU holding a 3-1 advantage. The most recent meeting was in Norman in 1984 when the Cardinal prevailed, 19-7. The two teams have never played on a neutral field. • Oklahoma is 23-14-1 against teams currently holding membership in the Pac-10 Conference. The Sooners are 1-1 vs. Arizona, 0-1 vs. Arizona State, 2-2 vs. California, 6-1 vs. Oregon, 1-1 vs. Oregon State, 3-1 vs. Stanford, 2-6-1 vs. USC, 3-1 vs. UCLA, 2-1 vs. Washington and 3-0 vs. Washington State. • This will be the sixth time that Oklahoma has been pitted against a Pac-10 team in bowl action ... 2005 Holiday Bowl (Oklahoma 17, Oregon 14), 2005 Orange Bowl/BCS Championship (USC 55, Oklahoma 14), 2003 Rose Bowl (Oklahoma 34, Washington State 14), 1985 Orange Bowl (Washington 28, Oklahoma 17), 1983 Fiesta Bowl (Arizona State 32, Oklahoma 21). • Oklahoma Running Backs Coach and Recruiting Coordinator Cale Gundy set a Sooner bowl game record (since tied) when he threw three touchdown passes in the 1993 Sun Bowl vs. Texas Tech. Fred Sims had the second-best rushing performance by an OU player in a bowl when he gained 181 yards in the 1981 Sun Bowl vs. Houston. • Gundy is one of two OU coaches who played in the Sun Bowl. The other is Jackie Shipp, who was a linebacker on the 1981 Sooner team that downed Houston. He had seven tackles in that game. In addition to his touchdown passes, Gundy completed 15-of-26 passes for 215 yards with one interception. • Two members of this Oklahoma coaching staff coached in the Sun Bowl with other teams. Bobby Jack Wright, OU’s assistant head coach, assistant defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach, was on the 1994 Texas staff when the Longhorns knocked off North Carolina, 35-31. Sooner offensive line coach James Patton was on Northwestern’s staff when the Wildcats dropped a 50-38 decision to UCLA in the 2005 game. • There are no Californians on the Oklahoma roster. Conversely, there are 47 Texans on the Sooner roster with a shot at playing in a bowl game in their home state. The lone Oklahoman on the Stanford roster is OL Chase Beeler (Jenks, Okla.), who was on the OU roster in 2006. He saw action in five games, including one start (against Tulsa) before transferring. • Oklahoma QB Landry Jones will be playing closer to home -- Artesia, N.M. -- than any other time in his college career. El Paso is 201 miles from Artesia. His previous closest brush with home was in Lubbock, Texas, 343 miles from Artesia. Norman is 534 miles from Artesia.

HEAD COACH

Bob Stoops Head Coach | 11th Season | 116-29 (.800) Record at Oklahoma

History is one tough customer at Oklahoma. The tradition, so rich and so long-standing, is as daunting as it is impressive. To be among the best at Oklahoma is to be among the best in college football... Such dramatics are lost on Bob Stoops. The Sooner head coach befriended the would-be albatross of OU’s successful past from his first day on campus and remains steadfastly focused on tomorrow and the championship it holds. It falls then to long-time observers and experts of the game to define Stoops’ impact. Rarely have the pundits had it so easy.

That was true again in 2008. Stoops became the first coach in Big 12 history to capture three straight conference titles (after becoming the first to win two in a row in 2007) and was one of several teams, in a year of parity, to contend for the national title. It was the highest scoring team in the modern era of college football with more than 700 points and, despite the full or part-time loss of key starters on the defensive unit, still managed to rank among the top three in nearly every Big 12 category on that side of the ball. That potent offense yielded Stoops’ fifth Heisman Trophy finalist and second winner, quarterback Sam Bradford. Also during the ‘08 campaign, Stoops reached 100 wins for his career, and did so faster than any coach since before 1905. In 11 seasons under Stoops, OU has won 116 games; the 2000 national championship; spent 150 weeks in the national rankings; played in 11 bowl games, seven of the BCS variety; taken part in four national championship games and captured six Big 12 crowns. On a playing field leveled by scholarship limits and parity, this era stares down the Oklahoma standard and does not blink. The brilliance dulls the memory of what Stoops inherited. When he arrived in Norman, the proud Sooner program was five years removed from a winning record, four from a postseason appearance. Those atypical days of angst are so forgotten now that they might as well be mentioned with the Land Rush and Dust Bowl. Stoops has been characterized as a grounded family man, big-game coach, relentless recruiter, strong leader and a person with uncommon perspective.

His success emanates from a disciplined style true to his roots in the Steel Valley of Ohio, but he is far from inflexible. The principles to which he holds are the tried and true axioms of the sport … mixed with cutting-edge strategy and an appreciation for the calculated risk. During his time, OU has produced record-setting passers and receivers, seven 1,000-yard rushers, suffocating defense and special teams units that rank among the most dynamic in the land. The Sooners have been nothing if not versatile. The son of a coach, Stoops was a four-year starter at Iowa. He began his coaching career in 1983 as a volunteer in the Hawkeye program under Hayden Fry, working through the ranks until he became co-defensive coordinator at Kansas State (1991-95). There he played a key role in one of the most impressive turnarounds in college football history while serving on Bill Snyder’s staff. Eventually, he left for Florida and a three-year stint as Steve Spurrier’s defensive coordinator. In 1996, he was part of a national championship team. It was with the Gators that the spotlight found Stoops and made him one of the hottest names in the profession. His hiring at Oklahoma was one for the ages.

Coaching Accomplishments

• Stoops is 116-29 overall, 77-17 vs. the Big 12, 42-12 vs. the Big 12 South, 35-5 vs. the Big 12 North, 6-1 in the Big 12 title game, 39-12 vs. non-conference opponents, 66-2 at home, 33-14 on the road, 17-13 on neutral fields, 35-15 vs. ranked opponents, 4-6 in bowls, 3-5 in January bowls and 2-5 in BCS games. • OU has set or tied more than 180 school records under Stoops, not including bowl bests and marks specific to a particular position (i.e., receptions by a running back). Among those marks under Stoops are passing for a game, season and career; receiving for a game, season and career; and rushing for a season.

• Stoops has authored two of the seven longest winning streaks in Oklahoma history. His 2000 and 2001 teams won 20 straight, while the 2002 and 2003 teams reeled off 14 in a row. Those victories all came against I-A opponents.

THE SOONERS

• Oklahoma owns the nation’s longest home field winning streak at 30. That’s the longest current streak in the nation and the best in school history, topping a 25-in-a-row string that ended in 1953. Stoops also has fashioned two other streaks of 19 straight. • OU won the 2000 national championship, played for three more and captured seven Big 12 South crowns and six Big 12 titles. Oklahoma has spent 24 weeks at No. 1. • OU has held a double-digit lead in 120 of Stoops’ 145 games.

1950

• An OU player has finished among the top seven in the Heisman voting six times on Stoops’ watch: Sam Bradford (No. 1 in 2008), Adrian Peterson (No. 2 in 2004), Jason White (No. 3 in 2004), Jason White (No. 1 in 2003), Roy Williams (No. 7 in 2001) and Josh Heupel (No. 2 in 2000). • Under Stoops, OU has produced 31 All-Americans; two AP Players of the Year (Heupel, White); two Nagurski Award winners (Williams, Derrick Strait); two Thorpe Award winners (Williams, Strait); two Butkus Award winners (Rocky Calmus, Teddy Lehman); one Bednarik Award winner (Lehman); one Lombardi Award winner (Tommie Harris); one Walter Camp winner (Heupel); three O’Brien Award winners (Sam Bradford and White twice); a Maxwell Award winner (White); a Unitas Award winner (White); an Outland Trophy winner (Jammal Brown) and one Mosi Tatupu Award winner (J.T. Thatcher).

OU Football Then and Now

• Oklahoma has played in 11 bowl games. Never had an OU coach taken even his first three teams to bowls. Prior to Stoops’ arrival, OU had not played in one of what is now a BCS game since the 1988 Orange Bowl (1987 season). Stoops, in his second season, led OU to the 2001 Orange Bowl (2000 season).

• OU has had a Butkus finalist in four of the last eight years and a Lombardi finalist in four of the last seven. The Sooners also have had finalists for the Biletnikoff, Groza, Guy, Hendricks, Mackey and Doak Walker awards. • In 1996 and 1997, his Florida defense scored eight touchdowns. The 1996 Gators won the national championship. • During his final four seasons in Manhattan, Kansas State posted a 35-12 record and played in three bowl games.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Max Hall threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to McKay Jacobson in the back of the end zone with 3:03 left, giving No. 20 BYU a 14-13 victory over No. 3 Oklahoma. OU played the latter stages of the second quarter and all of the second half without Heisman Trophy quarterback Sam Bradford. He sprained his throwing shoulder when he was by linebacker Coleby Clawson in the closing seconds of the first half. After the Cougars took the late lead, backup quarteback Landry Jones was able to manuever his team to a long field goal attempt, but Tress Way’s 54-yarder came up short with with 1:23 left. The game was the first college contest ever played at the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium. SCORE BY QUARTERS BYU (1-0) Oklahoma Sooners (0-1)

NORMAN, Okla. -- Redshirt freshman Landry Jones made his first career start as No. 13 Oklahoma blew out FCS Idaho State, 64-0. Jones, replacing the injured Sam Bradford, threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns -- all to Ryan Broyles. The Bengals, of the Big Sky Conference, had minus-2 yards of offense in the first half and 44 for the game, including minus-22 yards rushing. The drama of the second half centered on Oklahoma’s ability to record its first shutout since blanking Middle Tennessee in a 59-0 romp on Sept. 23, 2006. The Sooners extended their home winning streak to 25 games, matching the school record that ended in the 1953 season opener. Score by Quarters Idaho State (0-2) Oklahoma Sooners (1-1)

NORMAN, Okla. -- Landry Jones set a school record with six touchdown passes and No. 12 Oklahoma recorded its second straight shutout with a 45-0 blanking of Tulsa. The Sooners (2-1) broke the school record for consecutive wins (26) on Owen Field by holding opponents scoreless in back-to-back games for the first time since 1987. Ryan Broyles caught a career-high 11 passes for 128 yards and three touchdowns, and Brandon Caleb emerged as a potential second viable target with 104 yards on five catches and two scores. Jones finished with 336 yards on 25-of-37 passing with two interceptions. His first pass was intercepted after it tipped off of Broyles’ hands, but Tulsa was unable to convert. The Golden Hurricane (2-1), boasting the nation’s top offense the past two seasons, ran 31 of its first 33 plays in Oklahoma territory but remained scoreless. Tulsa got the ball inside the 15 on two of its first four possessions, only to turn it over both times.

NORMAN, Okla. -- Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford wasn’t sure how his injured shoulder would hold up to a full day’s work. After 49 throws in No. 19 Oklahoma’s 33-7 win against Baylor, he admitted that the rested wing performed well. Bradford threw for 389 yards and a touchdown after missing the previous month with a sprained AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder. It was the 14th 300-yard passing game of his career, matching the school record set by 2000 Heisman runner-up Josh Heupel. The Sooner quarterback was 27-for-49. The only time he had attempted more passes was when he threw 53 against Kansas in the 2008 season. The Sooner defense also played well, limiting the Bears to six net rushing yards in 17 attempts while picking off two passes. Score by Quarters Baylor (3-2, 0-1) Oklahoma Sooners (3-2, 1-0)

* SOONERSPO RTS.COM

DALLAS -- The 104th edition of this series was a grinder with No. 3 Texas taking a 16-13 victory over No. 20 Oklahoma. The defeat was heartache enough, but OU also lost for the season the services of Sam Bradford, who was injured in the first quarter. Landry Jones played admirably in relief, but threw a pair of interceptions, the second of which dashed the Sooners’ comeback hopes. The biggest challenge for Oklahoma was on the ground where the team was limited to -16 yards on 22 rushing attempts. Four Longhorn sacks sent the number into negative figures. OU actually outgained Texas, 311-269, but the defenses ruled the day. The two teams combined for 8-of-24 on third down. Score by Quarters Oklahoma Sooners (3-3, 1-1) Texas (6-0, 3-0)

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma got three touchdowns from DeMarco Murray and fought off a game Kansas State squad, 42-20. The Sooners roared out to a 21-0 lead, but the Wildcats twice closed to within five points in the second half. A pair of Murray TDs answered both of those rallies and kept the Sooners comfortably in front. Landry Jones completed 26-of-37 passes for 294 yards and four touchdowns. His scoring strikes went to DeJuan Miller and Ryan Broyles (twice). Oklahoma’s defense, so strong in a close loss to No. 3 Texas and in a rout of then-No. 24 Kansas, came through in the final minutes against the Wildcats. The Sooners stopped Kansas State on downs at the K-State 41 with 4:10 left and Quinton Carter intercepted a pass from Grant Gregory at the Oklahoma 2 with 42 seconds remaining.

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- To Landry Jones, the Oklahoma defense is similar to a cool breeze on a hot afternoon. While his defense intercepted Todd Reesing on Kansas’ first three possessions and held the nation’s second-ranked offense nearly 200 yards beneath its average, Jones threw two touchdown passes and Oklahoma (No. 25 AP) cruised past Kansas (No. 25 BCS, No. 24 AP), 35-13. Jones’s favorite target was Ryan Broyles, whose 11 receptions fell just one shy of tying the school record. Chris Brown scored three touchdowns for the Sooners (4-3, 2-1 Big 12) and Dominique Franks set the defensive tone with an 85-yard touchdown return of the second interception of the Jayhawks’ career leading passer. That made it 14-6 at the half, then the Sooners put the game out of reach with two long scoring drives in the third quarter.

LINCOLN, Neb. -- Nebraska’s Matt O’Hanlon had three of Nebraska’s five interceptions and the Cornhuskers squeezed enough production out of their struggling offense to upset No. 20 Oklahoma, 10-3. The Sooners (5-4, 3-2 Big 12) failed to score a touchdown for the first time since a 29-0 loss to Texas A&M in 1998. Nebraska (6-3, 3-2) won despite getting just seven first downs and 180 total yards. The Huskers’ lone touchdown came after an interception return to the Oklahoma one. Oklahoma’s last two possessions ended on interceptions, including O’Hanlon’s third, which he grabbed at the Nebraska 7 with 27 seconds left. O’Hanlon ran back his first interception 30 yards to set up Alex Henery’s 28-yard field goal. Roy Helu Jr. ran for 138 yards on 20 carries for Nebraska, which won for the first time in five meetings against Oklahoma since 2001. Oklahoma’s lone points came on a 24-yard field goal by Tress Way with 24 seconds remaining in the first half. Oklahoma turned the ball over on downs three times inside the Nebraska 25. Twice, the Sooners were unable to convert fourth-and-one at the 20. Score by Quarters Oklahoma Sooners (5-4, 3-2) Nebraska (6-3, 3-2)

NORMAN, Okla. -- One week after Oklahoma failed to reach the end zone for the first time in Bob Stoops’ 11 seasons as coach, the scores came in bunches for the Sooners in a 65-10 win over Texas A&M. Landry Jones fired five touchdown passes while completing 24-of-39 passes. DeMarco Murray, Ryan Broyles, Chris Brown and Adron Tennell each scored two touchdowns for Oklahoma (6-4, 4-2 Big 12), which rolled up season highs in offense (640 yards) and points. The Sooners defense stifled the Aggies, surrendering just 59 rushing yards on 36 attempts and forcing A&M passers into 25 incompletions.

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma State (No. 12 BCS, No. 11 AP) had everything to play for: the money and exposure of the Bowl Championship Series, another step toward making school history and bragging rights in a rare chance to outshine its traditional in-state rival. Then Oklahoma snatched all that away. DeMarco Murray ran for two touchdowns, Ryan Broyles returned a punt 88 yards for a score and Oklahoma knocked OSU out of contention for its first BCS appearance with a 27-0 win. With representatives of the Fiesta and Orange bowls watching, the Cowboys (9-3, 6-2 Big 12) were shut out for the first time since 2005. The Cowboys had no first downs and just four total yards in the second half. For the game, they were 0-of-14 on third down. Broyles had 103 yards receiving to go with his 209 yards on punt returns. Patrick O’Hara, the walk-on who had never played football before taking over as Oklahoma’s kicker two weeks earlier, hit field goals from 24 and 19 yards. The Sooners (7-5, 5-3) have won seven in a row in the Bedlam rivalry and 30 straight home games, the longest streak in the Bowl Subdivision.

OU gained just 48 yards on 26 rushing attempts and was 18-of-36 through the air with two interceptions. The Sooners had staked a 6-3 lead with 10:42 remaining in the second quarter before the Red Raiders reeled off 31 unaswered points.

Oklahoma upset the ‘Heels with the big play coming in the first quarter as linebacker Myrle Greathouse intercepted a pass and returned it 70 yards to set up Jack Mitchell’s one-yard run. The Sooners never trailed after that.

HISTORY

Game Summary In a game that featured two of the marquee names in college football at the time, Oklahoma blasted North Carolina State 34-13 before an overflowing crowd of 10,000 in the second annual Gator Bowl. The Sooners did not take long to get on the scoreboard, two minutes to be exact, on an Eddie Davis one-yard plunge. N.C. State roared back to even the score, but OU put the game out of reach by scoring 20 second-quarter points and coasted from there. The marquee matchup was made possible because of the Tournament of Roses committee decision to match representatives of the Western Athletic Conference (now the Pac Ten) and the Big Nine, (now the Big 10). This agreement made it possible for teams not waiting for a possible Rose Bowl berth to be picked by the Gator Bowl committee.

SEA SON REVIEW

Game Summary This was the first Orange Bowl that featured two national powers as both teams were undefeated and untied. To lure the Sooners to Miami, the Orange Bowl director circled the Norman campus, leaving chalk messages that promoted the game. Tennessee’s powerful ground attack was too much for the Sooners, winners of 14 straight, as the Volunteers raced to a 17-0 victory in the fifth annual Orange Bowl. The victory was the 13th straight for the Vols, who were coached by Major Bob Neyland. The game was considered to be the roughest of all bowl games played that year as both teams combined for more than 200 yards in penalties.

The game was one-sided and still stands as the largest margin of victory in OU bowl history. One of the many Sooner big plays was Leon Heath’s OU bowl record-breaking 86-yard TD run. The game was marred by an early-week incident where a former LSU player was caught spying on Sooner practices. It was the only time in Wilkinson’s career that he publicly blasted an opponent.

However, Kentucky, coached by Paul “Bear” Bryant, upset the Sooners and broke a 31-game OU winning streak. OU lost a bowl-record five fumbles in falling behind 13-0. A fourth quarter 17-yard TD pass by Billy Vessels narrowed the margin but a come-from-behind effort was foiled by an interception in the final minute of play.

Maryland came into the game as the regular season national champion with OU rated fourth. Twice, the Terrapins had first down with the ball inside the 10-yard line, and both times the Sooner defense refused to allow any points on the scoreboard. Sooner tailback Larry Grigg scored the only TD of the game with a 25-yard scamper in the second period. The 1954 bowl game was the first bowl game in which the players had to play both ways. Sooner hero Grigg also played defensive back.

The Sooners were led by Prentice Gautt who scored the game’s first TD on the second play of the game with a 42-yard run. Gautt averaged an OU bowl-record 15.7-yards every time he touched the ball. It was the Sooners’ fourth straight Orange Bowl victory. Oklahoma ended the season ranked fifth in the nation, its only loss a one-pointer to Texas.

HISTORY

Game Summary The 47-game winning streak had been broken earlier in the season, but the Sooners still came into the game ranked No. 4. Duke, the ACC winner, was unranked. Oklahoma got only six first downs, lost the total offense battle (328 yards to 279) and picked up an OU bowl-record 165 yards in penalties, but used two interception returns for TD, including an OU bowl record 94-yarder from David Baker, two fumble recoveries, a blocked punt and a bad snap from center to win going away. The 48 points marked an all-time OU bowl record that stood until matched by the ‘91 Gator Bowl team.

SEA SON REVIEW

Game Summary This time it was OU that carried the number one ranking into the game with Maryland ranked third, having lost just one game during the regular season. The Sooners, a perfect 10-0 and in the midst of their 47-game winning streak, trailed 6-0 at the half. The Sooners went into their famous “fast break offense” in the second half and scored three times to post their second Orange Bowl victory. It was the second national championship for Oklahoma.

Paul “Bear” Bryant, coaching his alma mater, repeated his victory as the coach at Kentucky in the 1951 Sugar Bowl with a 17-0 triumph. LB Lee Roy Jordan, the MVP, and quarterback Joe Namath led the Crimson Tide to the victory. The Sooners had first and goal twice in the first half, but fumbles ended OU’s chances and the Sooners never really threatened again. The lone highlight for the Oklahoma team was a visit by President John F. Kennedy to the Sooners’ locker room. Although President Kennedy claimed neutrality, it was obvious by the grimace on his face he was backing the Oklahoma team.

To add insult to injury, four of the Seminoles’ TD passes were thrown on fourth-down plays. Four Oklahoma players had been found ineligible the night before the game because they had signed pro contracts which was in violation of NCAA rules. FSU wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff finished the game with 13 receptions for 192 yards and four TDs.

Although a slight underdog to the Vols, OU broke out to a 19-0 halftime lead. Tennessee came back to narrow the Sooner lead to 19-17 before Oklahoma defensive back Bob Stephenson picked off a pass and raced 24 yards to give OU an all important insurance TD. The Sooners desperately needed the insurance when Dewey Warren plowed in from a yard out. The Volunteers then missed a potential game-winning field goal as the gun went off.

QB Jack Mildren, playing in the final game of his brilliant college career, scored a Sugar Bowl record three times. OU finished second in the polls to Nebraska with another Big Eight team, Colorado, finishing third.

HISTORY

Game Summary OU led 20-6 entering the fourth but SMU’s Chuck Hixson, passing for 281 yards, led a comeback that produced a 28-21 lead. OU, without injured QB Bob Warmack, narrowed the margin to one on a pass from Mickey Ripley, but missed a two-point conversion for the lead. One last chance came after recovering an onside kick but a field goal attempt from inside the SMU 30-yard line went wide as time expired.

Game Summary The emergence of the wishbone and Greg Pruitt were late-season developments that propelled OU to four wins in its last five games and a postseason invitation. The Sooners had switched to the wishbone and they were running it to perfection by the time the bowl game rolled around. The “bone” produced 349 yards rushing and touchdown runs of 58 and 25 yards by All-American Greg Pruitt, but the Sooners still needed a late field goal by Bruce Derr to forge the tie with the Crimson Tide.

The Sooner defense posted a shutout while allowing only 11 first downs and 49 yards rushing the entire game. It was the first year that freshmen were eligible and Sooner wide receiver Tinker Owens celebrated with five catches, good for 132 yards and one touchdown. It was also the last game for Sooner head coach Chuck Fairbanks who left for the NFL the following spring.

Ohio State, the No. 1-ranked team in the country, had lost in the Rose Bowl earlier in the afternoon. The upset gave the Sooners an opportunity to win the national championship if they could beat the Michigan Wolverines coached by Bo Schembechler. A 39-yard end around by Billy Brooks and a nine-yard keeper by Steve Davis were enough for a 14-6 victory and a fifth national championship.

*Note that this Sugar Bowl game was played on December 31, 1972, instead of the traditional New Year’s Day.

The Sooners led 27-0 at the third quarter mark before the reserves added two more scores in the fourth period. OU did not punt the entire game, the only time in Sooner bowl history that had happened.

The Sooners, ranked No. 1 with one loss, had lost a heartbreaker to the Cornhuskers, 17-14, on a late fumble at the NU three-yard line. When the Huskers were upset the following week by Missouri, producing a Big Eight Championship tie, the Orange Bowl officials came up with the idea of a rematch, much to the Sooners’ joy and the Huskers’ shock. It went as predicted: an Oklahoma victory.

After the Seminoles took a 7-0 first-quarter lead, OU unleashed 17 second-quarter points to take the lead for good. J.C. Watts was named Orange Bowl MVP on offense. He scored on a 61-yard option play and rushed for more than 100 yards. Bud Hebert, who recorded three interceptions, earned the award on defense. Billy Sims wrapped up his brilliant collegiate career scoring on a 22-yard pitch from Watts. Oklahoma finished third in the country and won the Orange Bowl for the third time in five tries under Switzer. The Seminoles crossed midfield only two times after the first quarter and never passed the 35-yard line.

HISTORY

Game Summary Called by Barry Switzer, “the most disappointing loss of my career,” OU was a victim of one of the biggest upsets in bowl history. When Notre Dame downed Texas in the Cotton Bowl, OU was in the running for a national championship. A big win over Arkansas might impress the voters and secure the crown for the Sooners. As a result, Switzer went against his own strategy by choosing to receive the opening kickoff rather than play defense. OU fumbled inside its own 10 on the third play of the game and Arkansas immediately scored for a lead it never relinquished.

QB J.C. Watts was chosen MVP and with good reason. The Seminoles used a fourth-quarter TD to break a 10-10 tie and seemingly gain control. OU was forced to start deep in its own territory after the kickoff with little time left. Watts went to work and passed the Sooners to the 11-yard line where he hit Steve Rhodes with a TD strike to pull the Sooners to within one with less than a minute to go. Watts then proceeded to hit tight end Forrest Valora for the two-point conversion that gave the Sooners their ninth Orange Bowl victory, including three in the last four years. Oklahoma finished ranked No. 3 in the nation.

MVP Darrell Shepard, who began his career at the UH, scored two touchdowns against his former team. The Sooners scored 30 fourthquarter points to turn a seat squirmer into a rout. Freshman Fred Sims rolled up 181 yards rushing in the game after rushing for just 179 in the regular season.

Dupree ran wild early, amassing 239 yards before recurrent leg injuries forced him out in the third quarter. The turning point came when Oklahoma punter Michael Keeling could not get his punt away and was forced to throw an illegal pass. The Devils took over at the OU 43 and later scored when Darryl Clack raced 15 yards for at TD.

LB Danté Jones, playing in place of All-American Brian Bosworth, led the defense which held the Hogs to just 48 rushing yards. Spencer Tillman gained 109 yards rushing on just seven carries. His totals included a 77-yard TD to give OU the early 7-0 lead. Todd Thomsen set an Orange Bowl record with five punts for a 47.6-yard average.

HISTORY

Game Summary Brigham Young was No. 1 in the polls, but Sooner head coach Barry Switzer had argued that the Sooners should be No. 1 because of a tougher schedule. A win over a fine Husky team would solidify that claim. However, Washington refused to cooperate and turned a 17-14 fourthquarter deficit into a 28-17 triumph. The game was marked by a bizarre incident when, after an Oklahoma field goal, the Sooner Schooner raced onto the field as called for by tradition. The only problem was the drivers apparently had not received the proper permission for the trip. The team was penalized 15 yards and the loss of the three points.

Statistics Leaders Rushing: OU - Carr, 19-148 PSU - Dozier, 12-39 Passing: OU - Holieway, 6-3-0-91 PSU - Knizner, 11-8-1-90 Receiving: OU - Jackson, 2-83 PSU - Dimidio, 6-50 Tackles: OU - Bosworth, 13 PSU - Alexander, 9 Game Summary A swarming defense, a record field goal performance and two big plays helped the Oklahoma Sooners defeat Penn State to capture both the Orange Bowl and the program’s sixth national championship. Butkus Award winner Brian Bosworth had 13 solo tackles and the Oklahoma secondary picked off four Penn State passes to thwart any rallies. Tim Lashar booted an Orange Bowl record four field goals to give the Sooners an early lead. Lydell Carr and Keith Jackson then provided big plays, a 61-yard jaunt by Carr and a 71-yard pass play from Jamelle Holieway to Jackson.

The Hurricanes took the opening kickoff and moved 65 yards in eight plays for a 7-0 lead, then never looked back. The Sooner offense, which led the nation in six categories, was held to only 179 rushing yards and 255 overall. Late in the fourth quarter, the Sooners scored on a 29-yard fumblerooski which gave the Oklahoma faithful a flicker of hope. The Hurricane defenders blew it out when they sacked quarterback Charles Thompson and caused a fumble to ensure the victory.

On the Sooners’ last possession, OU took the ball over on its own 20 with 2:59 left on the clock. QB Jamelle Holieway, playing in his final game, scampered 11 yards on a fourth down to keep the drive alive. Holieway then completed passes of five, seven, four, 12, seven, 12 and 13 yards, to get OU inside the Tiger 14 with 12 seconds remaining. Two desperation heaves by Holieway dropped incomplete to end all Oklahoma hopes.

Gundy was 25-of-31, including 11 straight completions, for 329 yards and two TDs. The Sooners scored touchdowns on four of their first five possessions to put the game out of reach before halftime. The OU defense never allowed the Cavaliers inside the 20. The 48 points tied the OU bowl game record (48-21 over Duke in the ‘58 Orange Bowl).

NATIO NAL CHAMPION S

HISTORY

Game Summary QB Cale Gundy brilliantly guided Oklahoma’s offense and the Sooner defense slowed Doak Walker Award winner Bam Morris as OU claimed a 41-10 win. The Sooners scored the first two times they had the ball. Another Gundy TD pass boosted the lead to 21-3. Just over a minute later, the game MVP hit again and Oklahoma was cruising at halftime 28-3. Meanwhile, the nation’s second-leading rusher was held to just 95 yards by the Sooner defense.

Game Summary After completing its worst regular season in 30 years, and playing under a head coach who had resigned, Oklahoma ended its season with a dismal 31-6 loss. The Sooners started reserve QB Terence Brown, who had completed one of three passes on the season. Season starter Garrick McGee had contracted spinal meningitis and was unable to play. OU’s defense surrendered 485 yards and four touchdowns through the air. BYU’s John Walsh set Copper Bowl records for completions (31) and TD passes (4). Sooner linebacker Broderick Simpson was Defensive Player of the Game with 13 tackles, a sack and a broken up pass.

As the nation’s only unbeaten team, the Sooners were the unanimous winners of the AP media poll. They were automatically crowned national champions in the coaches’ poll under the Bowl Championship Series format. Led by Orange Bowl MVP Torrance Marshall, the Sooners time and again forced Florida State’s Chris Weinke into bad decisions. Tim Duncan kicked two field goals and Quentin Griffin scored the clinching touchdown on a 10-yard run up the middle with 8:30 to play. Florida State avoided its first shutout in 12 seasons when Stanford Samuels tackled OU punter Jeff Ferguson in the end zone for a safety with 55 seconds remaining.

Oklahoma’s defense was that much better. The final statistics were as chilling and stark as the weather. The Razorbacks, who reached OU territory just two times the entire game, could muster only 13 passing yards on two completions while their rushing attempts (42) outnumbered their rushing yards (37). Sooner defenders tied a school and Cotton Bowl record with a whopping nine sacks. Late in the first quarter, Oklahoma set sail on a 13-play, 63-yard scoring drive that culminated in a oneyard sneak by quarterback Nate Hybl. Along the way, the Sooners converted two third downs and one fourth. The resulting touchdown and PAT made the rest of the afternoon academic. OU added a 32-yard field goal by Tim Duncan in the third frame to build a 10-0 advantage that felt like twice that given the play of the defense. Arkansas, aided by penalties, finally scratched out a field goal, but no serious threat to the outcome was ever mounted.

Oklahoma became just the fourth school in college football history to win the four BCS games and the Cotton Bowl.

Rhett Bomar threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to fullback J.D. Runnels for a 10-7 Oklahoma lead with 9:20 to play in the third quarter. Late in the third, Adrian Peterson’s backup, Kejuan Jones, scored on an 8-yard run to make it 17-7. Peterson softened the Ducks with three bruising carries on the drive for 36 yards, including a 20-yard gain when he leveled safety J.D. Nelson.

HISTORY

Game Summary Riding its defense, LSU won the BCS title, 2114. Oklahoma entered the game as the naton’s top scoring offense, but struggled against the Tigers. The OU defense gave a good account too, surrendering 64 of LSU’s 312 total yards on a non-scoring run on the Tigers’ first snap. Still, it was the LSU defenders who stole the show. DE Marcus Spears returned an interception 20 yards for a TD on the first series of the second half and seemingly opened the floodgates. But OU stiffened and got its running game untracked. After pulling within seven at 21-14, the Sooners made another push to the LSU 12, but missed on four straight pass attempts, the last one with just 2:46 left. The crowd was the largest ever to see a sporting event in the Louisiana Superdome.

in on government experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock.

Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 9l percent after being reelected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in that election year. Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trustees. His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year.

David L. Boren

13th President, The University of Oklahoma David L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the thirteenth president of the University of Oklahoma in November 1994. He is the first person in state history to have served in all three positions. Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965. In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty. As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma. Established during his tenure were the Oklahoma Arts Institute, the Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Program, and the Oklahoma Physicians Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical personnel who commit to practice in underserved rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked first among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education. One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985. The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of appreciated property to universities in 1993. Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest governor in the nation when he served from 1974 to 1978. Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol. During his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including conflict-of-interest rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state government contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the work-release program in state history. During his time in the U.S. Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Senate Finance and Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. From his days as a state legislator and governor of Oklahoma to Washington, Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens. As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened oversight of secret government programs and reformed the procedures for Presidential notice of such programs to Congress. For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional campaign finance reform and for legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing

In April 2004, Boren received the Mory’s Cup from the Mory’s Association at Yale University. In making the presentation to Boren it was noted that he was the first Yale graduate in the university’s history extending over three centuries to have served as a Governor, U.S. Senator and President of a major university. Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a “pacesetter university in American public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration. They include establishment of the Honors College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository writing program for freshmen modeled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious studies program, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence Program putting faculty family apartments in student residence halls. The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen. The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has matched the explosion in new programs. Since 1994, almost $1 billion in construction projects have been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses. Among the largest of the recent projects are the $18.7 million renovation and expansion of historic Holmberg Hall, home of music and dance programs; the $67 million National Weather Center; the $19 million addition to the Michael F. Price College of Business; the $17 million Gaylord Hall for journalism and mass communication; the $27 million Stephenson Research and Technology Center; and the $83.5 million stadium project. The Health Sciences Center has a new Student Union, and the new $24 million Stanton L. Young Biomedical Research Center. Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal international exchange agreements than any other university and the new International Programs Center are all making OU more international. The new Honors College helps to assure that no students need to leave Oklahoma to find an educational experience to match their potential. In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundraising campaign with a five-year goal of $200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history. The drive exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universities in the United States in private endowment per capita. Since 1994, endowed professorships have more than quadrupled and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 107,000 friends and alumni. During the first 10 years of Boren’s tenure over $1 billion in private gifts were donated to the university. Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one priority. He teaches a freshman-level course in political science each semester and is one of the few presidents of major universities to teach. Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Mrs. Boren is President Emeritus of the Oklahoma Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts. Molly Boren has two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress from Oklahoma. Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his parents, the late Congressman Lyle H. Boren and Christine Boren.


DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Joe Castiglione Principle Centered Leader …Visionary ... Passionate Advocate for Student-Athletes ... Establishes Standards of Excellence & Cultural Values ... Builder of Championship Programs Each of those characteristics, standing alone, describes the 11th director of athletics in University of Oklahoma history. However, just as he has brought together different groups who are committed to one goal, you must combine those traits to get the complete picture of the person who has led the OU athletics department since 1998.

Quick to give credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff and the university administration, the donors and the fans, Castiglione was the one who implemented the changes that led to success. When he was hired in 1998, the search committee believed they had found a rising star in the field of intercollegiate athletics administration. Everything that has happened since his arrival at OU has cemented that reputation.

His commitment to the success of student-athletes led NCAA President Dr. Myles Brand to appoint him as chair of the Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group in June of 2008. This group, which includes presidents, chancellors, conference commissioners, faculty athletics representatives, athletics directors and head football coaches, has been given the charge to review the APR as it pertains to Division I football student-athletes. When the study is complete, the group will report back to Dr. Brand and the NCAA Board of Directors with their findings, evaluations and recommendations for improvement.

Perhaps his most unique achievement over the last 10 years for Castiglione, though, came when he received his master’s of education degree from OU in May 2007. To understand the need for education and lifelong learning, OU’s student-athletes just have to look at their AD who started and completed his master’s degree while running the department and maintaining his priorities to his family. He quickly put his experience to use as an adjunct professor in the College of Education teaching a graduate class in Marketing & Development. The 11th director of athletics at the University of Oklahoma has celebrated seven national team championships and over 40 conference team titles; record numbers of graduating student-athletes and record-setting grade point averages for Sooner teams; dramatically increased donor giving; huge increases in ticket sales for all sports; major facility improvements, and development and construction of new facilities. And, as aggressive as the push to improve, expand and excel has been, he has produced a balanced budget in every year of his tenure, a first since the early 1980s.

A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the University’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in April 2007. He began his career as the sports promotions director at Rice. He then worked a year as director of athletic fund-raising at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing. Active on the national and conference level, he is currently serving on the Gatorade Collegiate Advisory Board and the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors. He served two terms as chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors and is a past president of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Association and NACDA. He served a four-year term on the NCAA Championship/ Competition Cabinet and the NCAA Baseball Committee and is a past member of the NCAA Football Special Events Certification Committee. He recently agreed to serve on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee and the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group. In 2007, he was named to the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees. He is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes. A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Castiglione was born Oct. 8, 1957. He is married to the former Kristen Bartel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Missouri. They are the parents of two sons, Joseph Robert, Jr., born on December 20, 1996, and Jonathan Edmund, born on March 21, 2000.

SEASON REVIEW

His peers have honored him for the department’s achievements as well. In October 2004, the Bobby Dodd Foundation named him Athletics Director of the Year. In 2003, he was inducted into the National Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators Hall of Fame. In June 2001, he received the General Robert R. Neyland Athletic Director Award for lifetime achievement from the All-American Football Foundation. The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) named him Central Region AD of the Year in 2000.

Castiglione was hired on April 30, 1998, after serving as athletics director at Missouri. In his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec. 15, 1993, was credited with rebuilding sports programs, hiring outstanding coaches, implementing an innovative master plan for facilities, inspiring record-setting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each of his five years as athletics director.

THE SOO NERS

The accomplishments of the department and its student-athletes, coaches and staff have earned national recognition for the university and the department. Recognized as the 2007 PRISM Award winner by the School of Sports Management at the University of Massachusetts, OU was just the second Division I winner and all of the programs recognized by the selection panel were started under Castiglione’s leadership. The PRISM Award annually recognizes one Division I intercollegiate athletics department that demonstrates industry-leading excellence and innovation in sports management.

Castiglione has cultivated over 20 multi-million dollar gifts, including the largest capital gifts in history for athletics at OU, and some of the largest ever for the university as a whole. He has driven dramatic facilities projects, including a $70 million renovation and expansion of Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Others include a $17.2 million renovation of Lloyd Noble Center; phase I of The Headington Family Tennis Complex; John Jacobs Track and Field Complex; the Everest Training Facility, one of the largest indoor practice areas in the country; and construction of the Gregg & Betsy Wadley Indoor Tennis Center. Other projects completed in his tenure have included the redesign of the Sooner football practice fields; the Port Robertson Wrestling Facility; phase I & II of the Sooner Soccer Complex, expansion of the Viersen Gymnastics Pavilion as well as additional renovations to the McCasland Field House; L. Dale Mitchell Park, the Charlie Coe Golf Learning Center, the OU Softball Complex and Barry Switzer Center. His administrative work, which has seen significant reorganization and the hiring of 12 head coaches, also included the negotiation of multi-million dollar multi-media rights contract that produces more than $8 million in annual revenue for the athletics department. His leadership was instrumental as well as the Sooners added their 21st athletics team to the OU family, women’s rowing (which will begin competition in the fall of 2008) and the design and construction of the new McClendon Boathouse on the Oklahoma River.

COAC HING STAFF

Joe Castiglione has established a pattern of excellence that few in his profession can match. In an environment where every decision is made reflecting the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow,” forming the background, Castiglione is leading the department that has written one of the most successful eras in school history.

Credited with energizing OU’s fund-raising efforts, Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports. The campaign ended in November of 2003 with more than $125 million raised. The figure has grown to almost $200 million since then as the department continues its approach, and largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history including projects that impact each of OU’s nearly 500 student-athletes. It has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics.

SOONER TRADITIONS Boomer Sooner!

Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim to a new life. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. Settlers who went too early were called “Sooners.”

Oklahoma!

Sports fans are hard-pressed to find a nickname that is as unique and as linked to a state’s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners.

In the fall of 1895, Miss May Overstreet was asked to chair a committee to select the colors of the university. The committee decided the colors should be crimson and cream and an elaborate display of the colors was draped above a platform before the student body. The students approved with great enthusiasm and immediately pennants, banners and decorations of every description appeared on the streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms, and all public places around campus. The Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga, or covered wagon, reminiscent of the mode of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after OU scores. Although the Schooner was introduced in 1964, it did not become the official mascot until 1980. The Schooner is wellrecognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular appearances at university functions.

The OU Chant

Every fan who wears the official colors, each current student and studentathlete and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one finger in the air during the playing of the Chant -- a symbolic gesture that shows the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners. The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, who directed the OU girl’s glee club from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman in 1937. O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Our chant rolls on and on! Thousands strong Join heart and song In alma mater’s praise Of campus beautiful by day and night Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White ‘Neath a western sky OU’s chant will never die. Live on University!

THE SOO NERS

Sooner Schooner

The Pride of Oklahoma plays perhaps the most popular and recognizable state song in history. Oklahoma! is the final rousing chorus of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s epic musical. Breaking all Broadway box office records when it opened in 1943, Oklahoma! was the first collaboration between the legendary pair who were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their seminal work.

COAC HING STAFF

OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. The university actually derived their name from a pep club called ‘The Sooner Rooters.’ The success of University of Oklahoma athletic teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning.

In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fight song, borrowing the tune from Yale University’s ‘Boola Boola’ but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was made to it from North Carolina’s ‘I’m a Tarheel Born’ and the two combined to form the university’s fight song today. Though the tune was first made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of ‘Boomer Sooner’ to national popularity.
