Media Information Covering Practice
Practice Location
Covering the Red/White Spring Game
In the event of inclement weather, workouts will be moved to the Everest Center, one block east of the stadium. If a practice is forced indoors, OU staff will determine if the sideline space at the indoor facility is sufficient to hold the public that is in attendance. If it is, the practice will remain open.
Weather permitting, most practices will be held on the rugby fields located just east of the Lloyd Noble Center.
Credentials are required for media covering the game as there is an admission charge for the public. All requests for credentials must be entered by sports editors/directors online. The online application is available by logging on to SoonerSportsMedia.com. Parking passes are not available for the spring game. The deadline for requesting spring game credentials is April 11. A link to the credentials site will be e--mailed to media that regularly cover OU football.

Sooner Football Notes Looking Back at 2009
Big Crowds Follow Stoops Era
Oklahoma finished the season with an 8-5 mark, 5-3 in the Big 12, good for third place in the South Division. The Sooners earned a spot in the 76th Brut Sun Bowl where they knocked off Stanford, 31-27. • All-American Total Jumps to 150: Oklahoma added two AllAmericans to its staggering total in defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and offensive tackle Trent Williams, both of whom were consensus picks. The Sooner program has averaged 1.3 All-Americans per year since its inception, which actually predates All-America teams. • Sooners Played Second Most Difficult Schedule: Based on its opponents’ record, OU played the second most difficult schedule in 2009.

They Do It All
By Land or Air, Murray Lethal
With 41 receptions last season, DeMarco Murray had the third-best season ever for a Sooner back. For his career, Murray has 86 receptions for 977 yards. That yardage figure ranks No. 2 for an OU running back behind 1,337 by Quentin Griffin from 1999-02. Griffin also has the receptions mark for backs at 169 and Murray is holding down the No. 2 spot. • Murray does lead all Oklahoma backs in touchdown receptions with eight. • Not to be lost is Murray’s rushing prowess. He will enter his senior year with 2,471 career yards. He needs 255 yards to crack perhaps OU’s most prestigious top-10 list, the career rushing category.
Ryan Broyles finished last season with 86 receptions for 1,120 yards and 15 touchdowns. • He set school records for receptions in a season, receptions in a game (13 vs. Stanford), touchdown receptions in a season (15, tied) and receptions per game (6.61). • His Sun Bowl effort -- 13 receptions, 156 yards, three touchdowns -- was record-setting. The TD total set an OU bowl and Sun Bowl mark. The receptions total was an OU bowl record and the second-highest total in the 76-year history of the Sun Bowl. • Broyles’ 21 career TD receptions is tied for No. 3 all-time at OU with Malcolm Kelly (2005-07). • With 102 points, he became the first WR to lead OU in scoring (stats tracked for 72 seasons).

• In a year during which injuries played such a key role, the offense bore most of the brunt. Of the 11 players who started the season opener, only five started the finale. One of those five, Trent Williams, started the opener at left tackle, but was in the center role for the bowl game. His position change and the absence of three others were due to injuries. • During the season, Chris Brown and DeMarco Murray became just the sixth tandem in school history to exceed 2,000 career rushing yards while playing on the same roster. Brown completed his eligibility in ‘09. That duo became the first to share a roster spot and exceed 40 career touchdowns. Both had 45 at the end of last season. OU’s string of seasons with a 1,000-yard rusher ended at five, but that was due to substitution patterns. Brown (749) and Murray (705) combined for 1,454 yards.

Weakside linebacker Travis Lewis has led Oklahoma in tackles in each of his first two seasons. His 109 last season were 21 more than any other player on the team and raised his career total to 253. • Lewis has now positioned himself to make a run at the prestigious career top-10 tackle list at OU. The record is held by Daryl Hunt at 530. The No. 10 spot belongs to Lee Roy Selmon at 335, 82 ahead of Lewis. • Tracking down big names is nothing new for Lewis. As a freshman in 2007, he logged 144 tackles to break Brian Bosworth’s OU frosh record of 133. • In 27 career games played, Lewis has 10 or more tackles 11 times.
The Real Beal
Defensive end Jeremy Beal looks like a candidate to become Oklahoma’s first Ted Hendricks Award winner. • Last season, Beal ranked No. 14 nationally in tackles for loss (1.46 per game/19 total) and No. 16 in sacks (0.8 per game and 11 total). • Beal is the only player in school history to notch two, three-sack games in the same year. He had three each against Tulsa and Miami last season. • Beal already ranks No. 6 for sacks at OU in a career with 20.5. He is creeping up on the top-10 list for tackles for loss. He has 38, which is two shy of tying Darrell Reed, Tony Casillas and Lee Roy Selmon for the No. 9 spot.
Q Tips
Quinton Carter has emerged as one of the top defensive backs in the nation. The safety finished last season with 88 tackles, No. 2 on the team, to go with four interceptions, a figure that tied for the OU lead. • Carter, who saw spot duty in his first two seasons, started all 13 games in 2009 when his tackle total for the season more than doubled the 37 he had registered as a freshman and sophomore combined.
Corner Conversation
Oklahoma will be looking to replace both starting cornerbacks. Brian Jackson completed his eligibility while Dominique Franks opted to come out after his junior season. Both scored touchdowns for OU last season, Jackson on a 52-yard fumble recovery against Texas A&M and Franks on an 85-yard interception return at Kansas. It was one of three defense TDs Franks scored during his career.
Defensive Miscellany
• Oklahoma had three shutouts last season, its best total since getting five in 1986. • Sooner opponents scored just 20 first-quarter points in 2009, an average of 1.5/game. • In 13 games, the 2009 Sooner defense played against eight of the top 50 scoring teams and seven of the top 40 total offenses.

RYAN BROYLES
The Offense
Silver Lining Finally Visible
During the 2009 football season, when injuries besieged Oklahoma, it was easier to find beach-front property in Norman than a silver lining. The benefit of 10 different starters and 10 different combinations in the offensive line alone, a microcosm of the season the Sooners endured, was, at the time, lost on nearly every observer. Then spring rolled around, and the silver lining was as obvious as the depth chart. As is often the case, the deficiencies of one season become the strengths of the next, and that may be case for OU in 2010. Players who were projected to provide little more than depth just one year earlier, became headliners for the Sooners last season. Most of them return to give the program unexpected experience at a number of key positions. Among those is quarterback Landry Jones, who finished off a busierthan-anticpated redshirt freshman season with a 418-yard passing performance against Stanford in the Sun Bowl. He is emblematic of the circumstances that moved from tenuous to foundational over the course of a difficult 8-5 season. Of the 35 players who started at an offensive or defensive position last season, 23 return, while several others who saw extensive time also remain on the roster. The schedule, including the likes of Florida State, Air Force and Cincinnati on the non-conference slate, is again among the most high profile in the nation. Oklahoma will tackle that impressive list with a team that, for the most part, has been around the block. And that’s the silver lining that was impossible to see just a few months ago.
Oklahoma knew that it would have a lot to replace from its 2009 offense. It just didn’t dream it would have to replace so much of it during 2009. But when Sam Bradford, Jermaine Gresham and Brody Eldridge were among the several injured, the Sooner coaches had to reach into their depth much earlier than anticipated. The offshoot is that the 2010 team now returns its leading passer (Landry Jones) and receiver (Ryan Broyles) and its second-leading ground-gainer (DeMarco Murray). The line, with the loss of two seniors, will be a work in progress in the spring, but is deeper and more experienced overall than it was at this time one year ago.
Quarterbacks
Landry Jones moved into the starting role last season when Sam Bradford was felled by a shoulder injury. Thrust into a difficult situation, the then-redshirt freshman responded remarkably well. By the team the season was over, he led the nation’s freshmen in passing yards and touchdown passes, and he had established a school record by tossing six TDs against Tulsa. In the spring, he’ll again compete with Drew Allen, now a redshirt freshman. Then, in the fall, another high-profile recruit will arrive in Blake Bell, a standout from Bishop Carroll High School in Wichita, Kan. A position that had thinned is strengthening again with a pool of gifted players.
Running Backs
Perhaps not since the wishbone days of the 1980s had Oklahoma featured a pair of running backs as interchangeable as Chris Brown and DeMarco Murray. Their styles weren’t the same, but their snaps, and their statistics, were nearly 50-50.
10 2010 OKLAHOMA SPRING FOOTBALL GUIDE
* SOONE RSPORTS.COM
2010 Outlook 2 0 1 0 SEA S ON
In 2008, the pair both cracked the 1,000-yard barrier and in 2009 they became just the sixth tandem in school history to exceed the 2,000-yard mark for a career while playing on the same roster.
The candidates include a pair of backs who also saw action last season. Jermie Calhoun showed obvious improvement as the season progress and Jonathan Miller, though he was lost to a knee ailment midway through the campaign, showed plenty of promise in his first season.
Receivers
If a cornerstone is important, Oklahoma is set with Ryan Broyles. Diminutive in stature, the junior looms large among the nation’s most dangerous pass-catching threats. Last year, Broyles tied Oklahoma’s season touchdown receptions record with 15 and established new marks for catches in a game (13 vs. Stanford) and a season (86). He enters 2010 among the front-runners for the Biletnikoff Award, an honor never before bestowed on a Sooner player.
DeJuan Miller made 23 of his 36 grabs over the final six games of the season, including six for 84 yards in the Sun Bowl win over Stanford. If his production remains at that level, he’ll be hard to unseat. Although lesser in numbers, Jaz Reynolds put a similar finish on his season. Then a true freshman, he made eight of his 13 grabs over the final four games of the campaign.
1950
At tight end, the program got used to not having mainstays Jermaine Gresham and Brody Eldridge when the two were lost to season-ending injuries in 2009. Erik Mensik, who also saw time with the offensive line, Trent Ratterree and James Hanna all got snaps and return in 2010, along with redshirt sophomore Lane Johnson. The signing class yielded Austin Haywood, a big and talented prospect, whose skill level may push him to the game field early in his career.
Offensive Line
When last season ended, a tight end was playing right tackle and an All-America left tackle was lining up at center. Barring a repeat of an injury scenario that Oklahoma wouldn’t wish on anyone, things look to improve. Trent Williams, a mainstay and heavily decorated player, will be hard to replace. He started 32 games for the Sooners during a span in which the team won three Big 12 titles and played in three BCS games. Otherwise, there are six returning players who drew starts last season, and that group had at least one start at every line position. The spring practices will be used to sort out the pieces, but the leading candidates at tackle are Cory Brandon, Menisk, Jarvis Jones, Donald Stephenson and Josh Aladenoye.
UNIVE RSITY
The cast that will surround Broyles will be important in taking the heat off such a beacon for opposing defenses. Late in 2009, that picture began to clear as well.
They’ll be joined by signees Trey Franks, Justin McCay, Sheldon McClain (early enrollee), Joseph Powell and Kenny Stills (early enrollee). That’s a group with a wide array of skills that will definitely diversify the position.
SEA SO N REV IEW
The incoming signees, who won’t arrive until the fall, figure to change the landscape as well. Brennan Clay and Roy Finch were two of the most highly regarded prospects in the country and could push for immediate playing time.
Among the other returnees who figure to see time are Brandon Caleb, Cameron Kenney and Mossis Madu.

Brown exhausted his eligibility in 2009 and now the door is open for another to join the versatile Murray.

Brandon started seven games last season. He’ll likely be on the right side along with Aladenoye, who redshirted last season. Jones got in 521 plays last season before ending his season in game nine (at Nebraska) with an injury. Stephenson sat out last season after seeing action in seven games as a redshirt freshman in 2008.

At guard, OU has a pair of young, yet experienced players in Stephen Good and Tyler Evans. Good is a front-runner on the left side and is currently backed by true freshman Bronson Irwin, a mid-year transfer.
The corners who wrapped up their Sooner careers last season were Dominique Franks, who left early to test the NFL waters, and Brian Jackson, who was outstanding as a senior.
Evans is likely to be slated on the right side with Tavaris Jeffries, who started three games last season.
Elsewhere, the Sooners return a pair of experienced starters at end, a deepening group of linebackers and three players with starting experience at safety.
Ben Habern was the mainstay before he dislocated his ankle in game 11 at Texas Tech. Once he returns, it is likely that he’ll see steady action. Brian Lepak, who started the Oklahoma State game in Habern’s place, is on the depth chart, too. Two other players expected to work at the position in the spring are redshirt freshman tight end Gabe Ikard and early enrollee Austin Woods.

Because of injury, Oklahoma used four different starting centers last season. That had never happened in the history of the program. Two of the four who started are back.
The Defense
The statistical analysis of Oklahoma’s 2009 defense was gaudy in its success, yet typical of what the Sooners have produced in recent years. Ranked among the top 10 nationally in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and pass efficiency defense, it was one of the top units in college football. Many of those same pieces are in place for 2010. Travis Lewis, the team’s top tackler in each of his first two seasons, returns at weak side linebacker along with All-America candidates Jeremy Beal, a defensive end, and Quinton Carter, a safety. The positions that figure to get the most scrutiny as next season’s defense is built are defensive tackle and cornerback. At tackle, the void left by the departure of Gerald McCoy is substantial, both on the field and off. He was a mature team leader, not to mention a quick and ferocious lineman.
Speed is again in good supply and that, combined with a list of key returnees, should position OU to again be among the most stingy defenses nationally.
Defensive Line
Despite a lengthy list of outstanding defensive ends, an Oklahoma player has never won the Ted Hendricks Award. Jeremy Beal may have something to say about that. Now in his third year as a starter, he is logging numbers that rival some of the best-known players in Sooner history. He’ll enter his senior season tied for No. 5 on the career sacks list. Lining up opposite of Beal will be Frank Alexander, who has 20 games played and seven starts over the last two seasons. The depth will come from Pryce Macon, David King, who played well when pressed into duty in the Sun Bowl, and redshirt freshmen Jarrett Brown and Justin Chaisson. At tackle, the loss of McCoy is compounded, for the spring anyway, by an injury to his running mate, Adrian Taylor. He suffered a broken leg in the Sun Bowl so it is likely that younger players will see a substantial number of snaps during spring drills. Taylor was outstanding in his junior season and, if healthy upon his return, gives Oklahoma a stable force in the middle. Those vying for a spot next to him include Jemarkus McFarland, the most experienced of the candidates, Stacey McGee and Casey Walker.

Linebackers
A pair of experienced players must be replaced in the linebacker corps.
At strong safety, Sam Proctor, a starter in 10 games last season, returns along with sophomore Joseph Ibiloye, who at 6-3, is the Sooners’ tallest defensive back.
The Special Teams
There will be some changes in the return game, but most of the kickers are back.
Travis Lewis is a good starting point in both ability and attitude. Other than junior Austin Box, all of the other linebackers will be sophomores or younger. That prospect might be scary if not for the quality of recruiting OU has exhibited in recent years.
Three different players had field goal attempts for Oklahoma last season. Patrick O’Hara finished the season with the job, but there will likely be spirited competition again in the spring. Bryce Easley, who had a big leg during his high school career, will join the fray after redshirting in ‘09.
Ronnell Lewis, once an eight-man player, made a reputation for himself on special teams last season and now figures to see his first significant time as a defensive player.
Punter
In the middle, Tom Wort and Daniel Franklin will get a look. Wort was projected for playing time as a freshman last season, but suffered a season-ending knee injury in August and has yet to play a snap for the Sooners.
Defensive Backs
Kicker
Tress Way led the Big 12 in punting average last season and ranked No. 3 in the nation. His 22 boots of 50+ yards were impressive, but no more so than the fact that opponents averaged only 1.8 yards per return.
Returners
The top two returnees are back in Ryan Broyles, who was No. 3 nationally in punt returns last season, and Mossis Madu, who topped the team with 22 kickoff returns.
Jonathan Nelson was one of the most pleasant surprises on the 2009 team. Late in the season, he took over as the starter at strong safety and finished the season with three interceptions.
Deep Snapper
His skill set may be more adaptable to the cornerback position and he’ll work out at the boundary position in the spring along with Jamell Fleming.
Holder
James Winchester is the only player on the roster with game experience. Ben Hampton handled the snaps for two seasons before graduating. Reserve quarterback John Nimmo will get a look at the position in the spring. WR Carter Whitson completed his eligibility after holding down the job for two years.
UNIVE RSITY
At the field corner, Demontre Hurst, who played extensively as a freshman, will get a look along with redshirt freshman Gabe Lynn. The free safety will be senior Quinton Carter, who is coming off a season that yielded 88 tackles (No. 2 on the team) and four interceptions (tied for the team lead). Marcus Trice, a special teams standout in 2009, will back Carter.
SEA SO N REV IEW
On the outside, Keenan Clayton was a hybrid after converting from safety. He became a valuable commodity for a lot of reasons, not the least of which was his ability to also serve in the nickel back role.
TH E SOON ERS
Ryan Reynolds fought through a myriad of injuries during his career, but emerged as a captain and important team leader in the middle.

HEAD COACH
Bob Stoops Head Coach | 12th Season | 117-29 (.801) 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 117 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 117-29 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, 40-12 vs. non-conference opponents, 66-2 at home, 33-14 on the road, 18-13 on neutral fields, 35-15 vs. ranked opponents, 5-6 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.

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)

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.

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Taylor Potts threw for 388 yards and two touchdowns as Texas Tech beat Oklahoma 41-13 for its most lopsided win ever over the Sooners. Baron Batch ran for 136 yards and two scores for the Red Raiders (7-4, 4-3 Big 12), who became bowl eligible for the 16th straight season. Oklahoma never got untracked offensively. 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. Score by Quarters Oklahoma Sooners (6-5, 4-3) Texas Tech (7-4, 4-3)

EL PASO, Texas. -- Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles lit up Stanford with record-setting performances as Oklahoma notched a 31-27 win in the 76th Brut Sun Bowl. Broyles set OU single game and Sun Bowl marks with 13 receptions. Those catches went for 156 yards and three touchdowns, the highest TD total ever by a Sooner in bowl play and a Sun Bowl record. Jones also set an OU bowl record with 418 passing yards, the secondhighest total in the history of the Sun Bowl. Oklahoma rallied from a 24-17 halftime deficit, largely on the strength of tighter defense. The Cardinal, which failed to convert on 12 third-down tries during the game, had just four first downs, 45 rushing yards and 89 total yards in the second half. Heisman runner-up Toby Gerhart led Stanford with 32 rushes for 135 yards. Broyles was named the MVP and Offensive MVP of the game, while OU’s Gerald McCoy was named the Lineman of the Game. A Sun Bowl record crowd of 53,713 saw the game. Score by Quarters Oklahoma (8-5) Stanford (8-5)

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 StudentAthletes ... Establishes Standards of Excellence & Cultural Values ... Builder of Championship Programs The success of the University of Oklahoma Athletics Department is known throughout the world of intercollegiate athletics. The last decade may stand as one of the most successful in school history and leading that effort is Joe Castiglione, the Sooner AD since 1998.
For Castiglione, though, it’s not just about the championships and trophies. The victories that he celebrates with his Sooners include graduation rates that continue to climb, record-setting grade point averages and academic honors. The true measure of achievement for Castiglione and, by extension, the department’s coaches and staff, is measured in the success of the student-athletes in relation to the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow”
Since arriving at OU in 1998 after an outstanding career at Missouri, Castiglione has seen the Sooners finish in the top 30 of the Learfield Director’s Cup in nine of the last 11 years. Through his insistence that daily and long-term decisions be made in a financially responsible manner, the department has closed the books in the black in each of the last 11 years. In 2009, the department increased its direct support of the academic mission of the University by increasing its annual commitment to $4 million dollars. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics, under Castiglione’s leadership, provides more than $7 million to OU Academics.
In recognition of the performance of OU’s teams on the field and in the classroom, of the fiscal stability created during his tenure, the dramatic increases in donor giving, facility construction and renovations, and the cutting-edge programs that the department has begun during his tenure, Castiglione was named Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal.
Hired on April 30, 1998, Castiglione joined the Sooner family 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. 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. His commitment to the success of student-athletes has gone beyond the Norman campus and he has served at national and conference level. He chairs the NCAA’s Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group and 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 both 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 served on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee and the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group. A member of the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees, he is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes.
SEASON R EVI EW
The 11th director of athletics in University of Oklahoma history, Castiglione is quick to give full credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff, OU President David L. Boren, the OU Board of Regents, the donors and the fans for the success experienced during his tenure. It was that commitment to a team approach emphasis that was one of the many qualities that that the search committee recognized when they recommended Castiglione to university administration in 1998.
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 funds continue to be raised for facility improvements and scholarship endowments. The largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history includes projects that impact each of OU’s nearly 500 student-athletes and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics.
THE SOONERS
With the support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s seven-member Board of Regents, Castiglione has gone about creating a climate that creates lofty goals, high standards and a commitment to ethical behavior that is second to none.
In his tenure, OU has celebrated seven national team championships and more than 40 conference team titles; record numbers of graduating studentathletes 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.

Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Programs and Director of Athletics, The University of Oklahoma
The achievement that may bring him the most pride, though, came in May 2007 when he completed his master’s of education degree from OU. 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.
A native of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Castiglione 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. and Jonathan Edmund.

UNIVERSITY
That award was one of several earned by Castiglione and the department. The 2007 PRISM Award winner, presented 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 with the full support of university administration. 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.
