It is that way because the Sooner program is as vibrant today as it was 50 years ago. We’re proud of our history, but we don’t rest on our laurels. Our focus is squarely on the next championship.

Success here creates a desire for more - more success on the field, more success in the classroom and more success in life away from football. And the people here ask the right questions ... How can we achieve more? How can we do it better? How can we help you reach your goals? The real winner is the student-athlete. This environment inspires greatness and encourages excellence. It does so with an eye on compassion and friendliness, qualities that have defined this university and the state of Oklahoma for many years.
COACHING STAFF
I don’t believe there is a better situation in all of college football than the one that has been created right here in Norman. There is an unmistakable energy and yet a comfortable pace that co-exist on this campus. It is that atmosphere that allows us each year to strive for college football’s highest goals, to prepare for that next championship. We know that success here is judged by championships and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

A new round-robin conference format will be in play for the first time in Big 12 history. Big 12 foes Missouri, Texas Tech, Texas A&M and Iowa State visit Norman while OU travels to Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor and Oklahoma State. The 106th OU-Texas game remains in the Cotton Bowl. An early-season trip to Florida State highlights the non-conference slate that includes Tulsa and Ball State.
Despite the loss of a group of talented leaders including All-American safety Quinton Carter, the Sooners return 48 letterwinners, 33 of which have started at game during their time in Norman. Fourteen of the 33 have registered double-digit start totals.

Identifying and recruiting talent, coaching talent to play at its peak and preparing players for life after college, whether it be football or in the business world, nobody does it better than head coach Bob Stoops and the Oklahoma coaching staff.
Among the players returning are those who have launched an assault on the Oklahoma record books, or those who have already placed their name atop the prestigious list of records. Returning players account for over 30 Oklahoma records with more set to fall in 2011.
The 2010 season saw OU return to stages it was accustomed to, celebrating both the program’s seventh Big 12 Championship and its 26th bowl win, its third of the BCS variety, defeating Connecticut 48-20 in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The 12-2 season saw OU complete its sixth 12+ win season.

The 2011 season will mark the 117th season of intercollegiate football at OU. The Sooners were playing football 12 years before Oklahoma became a state. Rarely has a football program and commonwealth enjoyed a more harmonious relationship that what exists in the Sooner state.

SOONER FOOTBALL TRADITION 6 4 NAT IONAL AWARD WINNERS
Great college football and the Oklahoma Sooners. For as long as anyone can remember, the two have been one and the same. Unlike some schools where tradition represents ancient history or others where it harkens back only a few years, Oklahoma’s tradition is a constant accomplishment unfettered by eras or time.

The Sooners were playing football before Oklahoma became a state and have achieved a legacy so successful that more than contributing to the history of this great game, it defines it.
Why Oklahoma? Gerald McCoy, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

“The tradition and family atmosphere drew me into OU. My coach, Jackie Shipp, was the main reason I chose OU but after I got there the family atmosphere made me fall in love with it. I’m big on family and the family atmosphere was very apparent inside and outside the locker room with the team and the fans.”

Oklahoma is king in the modern era of college football. Since the end of World War II, the Sooners are the nation’s No. 1 team, with more victories (567) than any other school and the best winning percentage (.763). Victories 1946-2010:

Bowl Championships
Some of the greatest players in college football history have worn the Crimson and Cream. The University of Oklahoma has averaged more than one All-American per year since it began playing football in 1895. To date, OU players have earned the prestigious honor 152 times. Five Sooners have been awarded the Heisman Trophy, including quarterback Sam Bradford in 2008, quarterback Jason White in 2003, running back Billy Sims in 1978 and running back Steve Owens in 1969. Running back Billy Vessels was OU’s first Heisman winner in 1952.

What have you done for me lately? In Oklahoma’s case, plenty. This is one of the hottest programs in all of sports. Oklahoma has played in four national championship games over the last 11 seasons, owns seven Big 12 championships during that time and has played in all four of the BCS games. OU also has turned out a list of award winners and draft picks so long that it taxes even the best memory to name them all.

Imagine every game of your college career televised for family and friends back home. To a Sooner, that’s no dream; it’s reality. Every one of the past 112 OU football games have been on TV. Thanks to ABC, ESPN and Fox Sports Net millions of viewers tune in to see Oklahoma on a regular basis. Everyone loves a winner and the Sooners have been just that under head coach Bob Stoops. But OU’s success also has driven ratings since the program’s first televised game in 1952. In all, the Sooners have played 304 games on TV. This is the center of the college football world and the television cameras are never far away.

Stoops Era Attendance Exceeds Five Million THE SOONERS
Since Bob Stoops became the head coach in 1999, Oklahoma has drawn 5,601,205 fans to Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Never has Sooner football been more popular with its rabid following. Stoops’ winning ways, which have yielded 72 victories in 74 home games, stoked the Sooner nation and have led to the expansion of OU’s stadium by 9,347 seats. Even so, attendance has exceeded the listed capacity of 82,112 in 42 consecutive games.
SEASON REVIEW
In 2008, Oklahoma set records for average season attendance (85,075) and single game attendance (85,646). Both are typical of what has happened here in recent years. The top 10 seasons for OU home attendance have taken place since Stoops arrived.

2000 NATIONAL CHAMPS
Stoops Leads Oklahoma to Seventh Title In a 2000 season so richly laced with great moments, the one for the ages came in the national title game, a 13-2 victory over Florida State in the Orange Bowl. It has been called by some the greatest defensive effort ever in a championship game. The national title season came just two years into Bob Stoops’ tenure and just two years removed from a sub-.500 season. Along the way, the Sooners had thrilling wins over Nebraska, Texas, Texas A&M and Kansas State (twice), with only one of those contests played at Owen Field in Norman. Headliners included QB Josh Heupel, who finished second in the Heisman voting, and big-play linebacker Torrance Marshall. The mark at the end of the season was an unblemished 13-0.

Nothing defines the competitive success of a college athletics program like a national championship. Oklahoma, with seven national titles sprinkled over four decades, is one of the very few programs that sets out each fall with the expectation and legitimate goal of pursuing the national crown. That pursuit rates as a lot more than just talk around here.

HEAD COACH BOB STOOPS
Oklahoma is Championship Football
The aura is unmistakable, and it radiates from real and repeated success on college football’s biggest stage. Oklahoma has claimed more national championships than any other Big 12 program. The Sooners under Bob Stoops earned the program’s most recent title in 2000 with an Orange Bowl victory over Florida State to cap an undefeated, 13-0 season. OU’s other championships came under Barry Switzer in 1985, 1975 and 1974, and Bud Wilkinson in 1956, 1955 and 1950.

Oklahoma has played for the BCS title four times during Stoops’ tenure.

BARRY SWI TZER
Barry Switzer led his Oklahoma teams to national championships in 1974, 1975 and 1985. He also won 12 Big Eight Conference championships and had eight bowl victories in 13 appearances. Switzer directed the Sooners on a 28-game win streak from 1973 (his first season as head coach) to 1975. When Oklahoma won the national championship in 1975, it marked the first time in history a team had won back-to-back titles more than once. In 1970, as an assistant, he convinced head coach Chuck Fairbanks to make the most significant and gutsy move in OU’s football history, a switch to the wishbone offense.
SEASON REVIEW
Head Coach Bud Wilkinson BUD W ILKINSON
Oklahoma’s 13th football coach produced teams that were 6-2 in postseason play, won the national championship in 1950, 1955 and 1956 and did not lose an astounding 74 straight conference games from 1946-1959 (72 wins, 2 ties). His teams still hold the modern record for consecutive wins by a FBS school with 47 straight victories from 19531957. After the 1947 season, the Sooners won 12 straight conference championships. In 17 seasons at Oklahoma, Wilkinson fostered racial integration and graduated players at an 87.2 percentage rate while becoming the eighth winningest coach in FBS history.

No Team Has More Big 12 Titles Oklahoma won its first conference championship in 1915 and has since tacked on another 43. In other words, the Sooners average a conference title just about every two seasons. That same pace has carried through the Bob Stoops era with seven league crowns in 12 years. That feat merits considerable respect. Under the previous Big 12 format, teams must first win a divisional crown over five opponents before advancing to meet the other divisional winner at a neutral site.

Seven Big 12 Conference Championships Since the formation of the Big 12 Conference in 1996, no team has won as many league titles as Oklahoma. In fact, no other schools won more than three and six of the league members are yet to win their first. The most recent of OU’s seven came in 2010 when the Sooners took down Big 12 North champion Nebraska, 23-20, at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The Sooners’ other Big 12 crowns came in 2008 (62-21 over Missouri in Kansas City), 2007 (38-17 over Missouri in San Antonio), 2006 (21-7 over Nebraska at Kansas City), 2004 (42-3 over Colorado at Kansas City), 2002 (29-7 over Colorado at Houston) and 2000 (27-24 over Kansas State at Kansas City).

If it’s a college football season, the likelihood is that more than one Sooner ranks among the best players in the land. That was true in 1913 when OU produced its first All-American and it’s true today when the rate of additions is so rapid that the total now outnumbers the age of the program itself. One of college football’s greatest programs has been built by some of college football’s finest players. That’s the natural result when talent meets coaching at a program with eye-popping facilities and great visibility.

University of Oklahoma players have earned consensus All-America honors 74 times in the program’s history. No other school in the Big 12 Conference has produced more consensus All-Americans. What is a consensus All-American? The NCAA officially recognizes selections from five All-America teams: The Sporting News, AP, AFCA, FWAA and Walter Camp. A player is designated a consensus All-American if he is a first team selection on at least three of the five teams.

Eighteen Winners in Last 11 Seasons For many years, college football has paused at the end of each season to recognize its finest players. The award names like Heisman, Outland, Thorpe and Butkus are woven into the fabric of the game as a tribute to the past and a beacon for the present. The awards ceremonies attract the greatest names in the game, and of course, they attract and honor Oklahoma Sooners. The road to the bright lights, podium and acceptance speech starts with great talent and hard work, common staples at OU. The Sooner program then provides the national stage on which players can be seen. The result has been an impressive collection of hardware.

Few programs in the country attract talent and prepare it to move on better than Oklahoma. Four Sooners were tabbed in the 2011 NFL Draft alone, a year after three of the first four picks were Sooners, giving Bob Stoops a total of 52 of his former Sooners drafted into the league. OU plays pro schemes, has three coaches with NFL experience and employs a rigorous strength and conditioning program that is so effective that many of those who have gone on to professional careers come back to Norman in the offseason to continue their training. Players with the ability and drive to make the NFL flourish at Oklahoma and leave here equipped to play football beyond their college days.

“They get quality athletes and give them a chance to make plays. Plus, they do a great job of coaching at Oklahoma. That program has a tremendous amount of pride. They’ve won a lot of big games. And that type of atmosphere usually rubs off on the players.” - Eric DeCosta Director of College Scouting, Baltimore Ravens “They do a tremendous job at Oklahoma. Players who come out of that program are well-equipped from a mental and physical standpoint. They do a really good job of coaching and Jerry Schmidt does a wonderful job developing the players.” -Gil Brandt NFL.com; Former Director of Player Personnel, Dallas Cowboys

“I would not be where I am today if not for my experience at Oklahoma. The bonds that I formed with my teammates will last forever, and of course, there is no way I could begin to thank the coaches and everyone else on staff there for what they meant to me. I grew up an OU fan so my expectations of the university and the football program were already high. It’s safe to say that the actual experience of being there exceeded all of my expectations. I can’t imagine a better environment for someone to reach their full potential as a student and an athlete. OU is a very special place.”

Why Oklahoma? Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams

Forty-four bowl appearances and 26 bowl victories have firmly entrenched Oklahoma among the most tradition-rich schools in America. The Sooners have become synonymous with postseason play at the highest level. At a school where the bowl history is laced with games of historical significance, the last few years have represented another fabulous roll for the Schooner. Four times in the last 11 seasons, the Sooners have played for the national championship, eight times they have been in BCS bowls and in nine seasons they played in January games. OU enjoys favored status among the bowl community, mostly for its tradition, but also for its fan following. Some 50,000 ventured to the Rose, Sugar, Orange and Fiesta Bowls over the last few seasons. Regardless of the location, Sooner fans flock to follow a bowl tradition that is as fresh as it is historic. Head coach Bob Stoops has taken all 12 of his Oklahoma teams to bowl games during his tenure in Norman. Of the 12 games, four were National Championship bouts, eight were BCS bowl games and nine were in January. The Sooners and their fans have enjoyed trips to Phoenix, San Diego, Miami, Pasadena, New Orleans and Dallas while playing in some of the most prestigious bowls in college football.

Storied Rivalry at Cotton Bowl in October The Oklahoma-Texas game, played each season at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, a location approximately halfway between the two campuses, is one of the country’s most spectacular sporting events. Staged during the State Fair of Texas, the contest is witnessed by a crowd perfectly defined by color – half crimson, half burnt orange – in an atmosphere that is arguably more unique than that found at any other game. This rivalry is one that marks time and gives players and fans alike experiences for a lifetime.
The Tunnel Experience “From the top of The Tunnel that leads into the floor of the Cotton Bowl it looks like no big deal. All you can see is end zone. Then you start running and the world explodes around you. Your eardrums are pounded by the screams of 75,587 people and the blasts of the modified 12-gauge shotguns that the OU Ruf/Nek spirit group carries... “You feel the world shake and start to understand why every Longhorn or Sooner who has taken these steps before you can never seem to find the exact words necessary to convey what has just happened. “You’ve just run down the tunnel at the OU-Texas game -- generally regarded as one of the greatest moments a college football player can experience.” - Mark Wangrin, ESPN.com

Sooners Set to Perform in Norman To understand a football Saturday in Norman, one must first understand what the sport means to Oklahomans. The Sooners were competing on the gridiron before this grand land moved from territorial status to statehood. Few college programs are more ingrained in their surroundings than the one at OU. Game day at Oklahoma is about more than 80,000 fans witnessing one of the most historic and vibrant programs at one of the game’s truly great cathedrals. It is about pride for a great university. Indeed, it is about pride for an entire state. At Oklahoma, game day here represents football and a whole lot more.
What They’re Saying: Perrish Cox, Oklahoma State “Their fans, they’ve got wild fans. They do know how to get into a player’s head, especially if you haven’t played in a big game. You drop a pass, they’re screaming. You drop a punt in pregame, they’re screaming. It’s kind of tough for a lot of young players.”

Preparation Meets Opportunity It would be hard to imagine a football program doing more over the last few years to enhance its facilities than OU. The $111 million expansion and enhancement of Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is perhaps the most noticeable upgrade, but it is simply the lead project in a plan that has impacted every facet of Sooner football. A new locker room, a new indoor training facility, a new weight training facility, a new practice field, roughly 8,000 new seats and 60 new stadium suites are testaments to OU’s dedication to providing the best for its student-athletes. Preparation routinely meets opportunity at Oklahoma. It does so largely because the Sooners have what they need to succeed.

Five regulation-size practice fields are available to the Sooners right outside their locker room: Owen Field, two grass fields plus indoor and outdoors artificial turf fields. The ceiling inside the Everest Training Facility hangs a full 65 feet above the SafePlay Synthetic Turf surface. This allows for all kicking and throwing drills during practice. Oklahoma recently completed a $70 million stadium expansion and enhancement project that added nearly 9,500 seats. On those rare days that the weather forces Oklahoma to practice indoors, the Sooners can move to the 74,000-square-foot Everest Indoor Training Facility.

SOONER POWER Championship Strength & Conditioning The best testimony for the impact Jerry Schmidt and his staff have on Oklahoma football players comes from former Oklahoma players -- those in professional football. It’s not uncommon for members of that select fraternity to return to Norman for part of their offseason training regimen. During their time in the Sooner program, they learned the quality of the strength and conditioning program. Schmidt has been involved with three national football championships at three different schools. His success is no coincidence. Now in his 13th year at OU, he is recognized nationally as one of the best in the business, and the athletics department has surrounded him with facilities that give Sooner student-athletes the best opportunity to excel.

The Best in the Business “Jerry Schmidt is Oklahoma’s Director of Sports Enhancement.

“Almost to a man, the Sooners looked like they were cut out of marble. There were no guts hanging over belts. There were no skinny arms or pear-shaped frames. They were as soft as petrified trees. These guys looked like well-conditioned athletes.” - Ted Miller, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 2005

And that balance creates opportunity for some of the best-known names in all of college football. It’s common to see the ball in the hands of 10-15 players during a game. Many stay involved to the detriment of none.
Pass oriented? You could make that case. Numerous records for both passing and receiving have fallen over the last few years and the single season passing mark was set in 2008. Run oriented? Maybe. After all, the Sooners rushed for more than 2,000 yards in six of the last eight seasons. Well, which is it, passing or running? At Oklahoma, the answer is both. While most schools dream of balance, OU is balance. While it’s true that the 2,000-yard mark was exceeded in six straight seasons under Bob Stoops, it’s also true that the team has thrown for more than 3,000 in seven of the last nine years.
Under Stoops, the Oklahoma offense, with its pro influence and varied formations, has produced:

Oklahoma’s defense suffers from a bit of an identity crisis. With a takeaway in 141 of Bob Stoops’ 160 games and 38 interception or fumble returns for touchdowns during this coach’s tenure, the defense has a reputation of, well, being a little offensive. The Sooners’ attack-style defense, long appreciated for its speed and aggressive attitude, is perhaps best known for its consistency.

A strong case can be made that no program has played better on its special teams in recent years than Oklahoma. Time and again, the Sooners have blown games wide open with electric and innovative special teams play. Bob Stoops’ commitment to special teams performance is evidenced by the number of first-team players who participate on those units. The wisdom of that move, and the program’s overall devotion to special teams play, is found in the staggering numbers that relate to every possible facet of the kicking and return games.

Quotes on Coach Stoops “This is a (Sooner) team that’s going to contend for the National Championship as long as Bob Stoops wants to.” - John Saunders, ABC Sports “He has brought us back to the pinnacle of college football. Bob is creating his own legend. He inherited a program with great tradition, and he’s added to it.” - Barry Switzer, Former Oklahoma Head Coach “In a sport in which icons are dropping annually from sight, and phenoms are forever heading to the NFL, Stoops is the closest thing to a budding legend in the NCAA.” - John Romano, St. Petersburg Times “Bob Stoops is one of the first guys in the coaching profession that has ability to mix family along with coaching. About 15 years ago, you couldn’t do that. People thought that was the wrong thing to do. So I admire coach Stoops in that every time I talk to him, something about family comes up. You have three kids to raise, a wife to take care of and a football team to coach. In that order.” - Urban Meyer, Former Head Coach, University of Florida “Stoops’ philosophy is at the same time unbending and liberating. He presides over players who are competitive and aggressive, but also respectful and talkative.” - David Barron, Houston Chronicle

Around here, it’s every team against every team. We believe that’s the way a true champion is made. Determining our champion on the field is just one portion of how we play in the Big 12 Conference. The member schools of the Big 12 are neighbors, where road games don’t require crossing time zones. We battle each other hard on Gameday and celebrate wins against outside competition. Our student-athletes, fans and alumni have each other’s backs on other days – because that is what you do for your neighbor. A hard work ethic and Midwestern values are part of everyone associated with the Big 12 and its member schools. This work ethic has translated to enormous success on the field of play in the first 15 years of the league. Since it began play in 1996-97, the Conference can boast of 42 team crowns and 477 individual NCAA Championships. Big 12 squads are highly-regarded on a national level in every sport. All but one sport the Conference sponsored this past season had at least one team ranked in the top five of the national polls, with eight sports boasting the nation’s No. 1 team.

COVERING THE SOONERS Credential Requests
Requests for media credentials for University of Oklahoma home games should be made online at SoonerSportsMedia.com. Only those requests submitted by the sports editor of a newspaper or the sports director for a radio or television station will be considered.
Credential requests for Oklahoma football season will only be accepted online at SoonerSportsMedia.com. Please visit the web site for complete instructions on submitting the online application form.
Priority is given to daily newspapers (by circulation), television stations and radio stations that program sports for more than half of their daily broadcast schedules. A credential does not guarantee a seat and access to the team bench area is prohibited at all times. Credentials include:
Sideline: Primary recipients are photographers. Only photographers on assignment for accredited publications (not web sites) will be afforded credentials. Pass only gains access to the sideline (not the press box).
Season Credentials Requests should be made at SoonerSportsMedia.com by August 13. Only those media who routinely cover OU games, practices and media conferences are eligible for season credentials.
Single-Game Credentials Requests must be made at least one week in advance of the contest. Any organization that requests a single-game credential then does not use it will not be granted another pass for the remainder of the season. No credentials will be granted after Thursday of game week.
Texas will serve as the host school this year. Any media not based in Oklahoma or Texas should contact UT for credentials. OU-Texas credentials will be distributed to local media at the Tuesday media luncheon in Norman. Any credentials not claimed that day will be available the Friday before the game at a pickup location in Dallas (times and exact location TBA).
Wednesday: Coaching staff available following practice. No player availability. Thursday, Friday & Sunday: No availability. Saturday: Post-game availability only. Members of the OU Athletics Communications staff will escort media representatives to the appropriate locker room areas with five minutes remaining in the game. The Oklahoma locker room, home or away, is closed to the media at all times. Head coach Bob Stoops and several Sooner players will be brought to a designated interview area. At home games, that area is the Big Red Room, located in the Switzer Center (first floor). At the beginning of the fourth quarter, interview requests will be collected. For games in Norman, the opposing head coach will meet with the media inside the opponent interview room, the SoonerVision studio (southwest corner, under the stadium grandstands). A representative from the OU Communications Office will be on hand to assist the media in finding this area. Interviews with the head coach and players from the visiting team will be based on the post-game policy of that institution. * Some players have evening classes that could preclude them from post-practice interviews.

2011 Season Outlook Sooners in Familiar Role At Oklahoma, home to seven national titles and just as many Big 12 crowns, life in the football program comes with big crowds, big games and, perhaps most of all, big expectations. It won’t be any different in 2011. With several key contributors returning from a team that finished 12-2 and won both the conference championship and Fiesta Bowl games, the Sooners are in a familiar role; that of the hunted. While others are left to consider the strength of what returns, OU’s coaches will set about the business of getting better and filling gaps, and to be sure, this team has room for both. OU lost a pair of defensive standouts in All-American safety Quinton Carter and defensive end Jeremy Beal, and must also replace running back DeMarco Murray, the most prolific touchdown scorer and all-purpose yardage gainer in school history.

And the schedule that awaits features a road game at Florida State in non-conference play before the rigors of the Big 12 begin. Fortunately, the team can call on the likes of receiver Ryan Broyles and linebacker Travis Lewis, both of whom bypassed the NFL Draft to return for another season at Oklahoma. Then, of course, there’s quarterback Landry Jones, whose assault on many of Sam Bradford’s records came more quickly than most expected. After establishing himself as one of the nation’s top signal-callers last season, he returns for his junior campaign with a pair of bowl victories and a conference title under his belt. Experience abounds at other positions as well, despite the fact that this team could still be labeled as young. The goals are more aged. Win championships and fulfill expectations.
The Offense
Sophomore Roy Finch emerged as OU’s second-leading rusher last season and the diminutive and elusive speedster is a constant threat to break the big play. His classmate, Brennan Clay, also played last season, and will be a factor too. The same can be said of Jermie Calhoun, a junior coming back from injury, and sophomore Jonathan Miller, who redshirted last season.
With one of the college game’s best threats in the fold, and in the sites of accurate passer Landry Jones, Oklahoma has a great starting point for its offense.
The signing class yielded Brandon Williams, who enrolled early and participated in spring practices, and Danzel Williams. The two are not related. In the spring, the program witnessed the emergence of Dominique Whaley, a transfer from Langston University. The junior led all ball carriers in the annual Red-White Game.
Otherwise, much of the offense, including six who drew starting assignments on the line, return.
At fullback, the Sooners welcome back Trey Millard, who impressed greatly as a freshman. A powerful runner, he’s also dangerous in a pass-catching role.
Quarterbacks
Millard is backed up by Marshall Musil and David Driskill among others.
Last year’s success on both the team and individual fronts gave Jones his own identity. Now, armed with the experience of 24 starting assignments and two bowl victories, the junior is poised for more success.
Receivers
Ryan Broyles’ accomplishments are blinding, but the story doesn’t end witih Broyles alone. The emergence of a full receiving corps last season probably did as much as anything in aiding the development of both Broyles and Landry Jones. Then-true freshman Kenny Stills stepped in and erased Broyles school marks for receptions and receiving yards by a freshman, no small feat. Another freshman, speedy Trey Franks, ranked fifth on the team in catches and, like Stills, enters 2011 more experienced than most sophomores. OU also will welcome back Dejuan Miller, the biggest player among the receivers at 6-4, 220. He had just moved into the starting line-up last season when an injury forced him to miss the final seven games.
Running Backs
DeMarco Murray’s graduation is impossible to ignore. He etched his name among the top 10 career rushers at a school that has churned out dozens of great backs. He also set Oklahoma records for career touchdowns and all-purpose yards, displacing iconic Sooners Steve Owens and Joe Washington, respectively, atop those lists.
Others who will vie for the spot include converted tight end Lane Johnson, who impressed after a position change in the spring, and sophomore Josh Aladenoye, who saw spot duty last season. Also keep an eye on redshirt freshman Tyrus Thompson. At guard, Tyler Evans, Stephen Good and Gabe Ikard were starters in 2010. All are juniors or younger, but have combined for 66 games played already. Ikard, on the left side, and Evans, on the right, finished spring drills as starters, but Good will push hard along with sophomore Bronson Irwin. Coaches also are excited about redshirt freshman Adam Shead, who starts out in a back-up role to Evans. The center position was manned all last season by Ben Habern, who also anchored the line as a freshman until an injury forced him to the sideline. Now a junior, he’s a steady performer who has been around the block several times. Austin Woods, who handled the long snaps on Oklahoma’s placements last season, works behind Habern while Drew Serruto provides depth at both center and right guard.
SEASON REVIEW
The most experienced of the backups is junior Drew Allen, who saw action in five games last season and scored one rushing touchdown. Others include Blake Bell, who redshirted last year, and Kendal Thompson, who enrolled for the 2011 spring semester.
Jones suffered an injury during spring drills and could miss half of the season but will be in the mix at right tackle upon his return.
THE SOONERS
Last season, Jones completed 66 percent of his passes while tossing 38 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He averaged 337.0 yards per game and nearly 12 yards per completion.
Jarvis Jones and Donald Stephenson split starting assignments at left tackle last season. Stephenson will remain in the spot while upstart redshirt freshman Daryl Williams mans the right side to begin the season.
COACHING STAFF
There was a time when Landry Jones’ name was mentioned only in the same sentence with Sam Bradford, the quarterback he replaced unexpectedly in 2009. No more.
At tackle, the Sooners must replace Eric Mensik, who started on the right side. The former tight end was an All-Big 12 selection marking the 11th consecutive season that an OU player had achieved that honor.
2 0 1 1 S EAS ON
The loss of DeMarco Murray means that for the first time since 2007, the team’s leading ball carrier will be someone other than Murray or Chris Brown, who finished his eligibility in 2009.
Six players with starting experience are set to return for Oklahoma on an offensive line landscape that looks starkly deeper and more experienced than one year ago.
BOOMER S OONER
When All-American Ryan Broyles announced he would return for his senior season, it solidified the Sooner receiver corps ... and just about everything else on the offensive side of the ball.
Offensive Line
Others who look to crack the line-up are sophomore and Jaz Reynolds, redshirt freshmen Justin McCay and Sheldon McClain.
HISTORY
At tight end, OU returns James Hanna and Trent Ratterree, who shared most of the snaps last season. Also back is Austin Haywood, who played extensively on special teams last season.
There was seemingly little that Murray could not do. He broke long runs, got tough yards and proved almost un-coverable as a receiver. It’s unlikely that one player will replace all of his contributions, but a solid stable certainly has that potential.

The Defense
Linebackers
Over the last decade-plus, Oklahoma has had defenses that ran like the wind and hit like a wrecking ball. The 2011 unit has the potential to be yet another.
Four of the returning linebackers have starting experience including Travis Lewis, the team’s leading tackler in each of his first three campaigns. Lewis, who mans the weakside position, has started all 41 games in his career and has tied the OU record for interceptions by a linebacker. He’ll be a candidate for high post-season honors.
The loss of safeties Quinton Carter and Jonathan Nelson, both NFL draft picks, means the Sooners will have to address the back end of the defense, while the graduation of defensive end Jeremy Beal opens a spot along the front.
Those behind Lewis with significant playing time are Corey Nelson and Jaydan Bird, both of whom have made their mark on Sooner special teams.
Otherwise, this is a unit that is long on experience, physical play and speed. Multiple starters return from a unit that was among the top 10 nationally last season in both pass efficiency defense and tackles for loss, while ranking among the top 20 in sacks.
Experience also resides with Tom Wort, who played in 12 games last season with nine starts. The redshirt sophomore notched his best tackle total in the Texas game with 10 stops.
Defensive Line
The strong side features Tony Jefferson and Joseph Ibiloye, another pair who know well the rigors of game action. Jefferson was the Big 12’s Defensive Newcomer of the Year last season, while Ibiloye, a rangy presence and converted safety, is another of those hybrids so necessary defending today’s spread offenses.
Beal left Oklahoma among the school’s very best in categories like career sacks and tackles for loss (ranks No. 2 in both). He was relentless at making tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and a model leader for the entire team. In the spring, Frank Alexander, who owns 18 career starts, and the athletic Ronnell Lewis, held their spots atop the depth chart. Alexander is backed by David King, with R.J. Washington behind Lewis. Geneo Grissom, who redshirted last season after suffering an injury, and classmate Chuka Ndulue are interesting prospects who will push for reps. Even with the loss of a fixture like Beal, OU will have good athletes with a range of talents at the end positions. At tackle, Adrian Taylor is gone, but the season-ending injury he incurred in game 10 of last season meant that OU had to get accustomed to his absence in the thick of a championship run. Stacy McGee got 11 starts last season and appears ready to make a bigger splash as he enters his junior season. JaMarkus McFarland, another junior, will challenge him. The nose guard spot will include Casey Walker, who battled a knee ailment last season, but started four games. Redshirtfreshman Torrea Peterson will get a look too.

Defensive Backs
Cornerbacks Demontre Hurst and Jamell Fleming return, but the Sooners will usher in a pair of new safeties. Fleming, the boundary corner, led Oklahoma with five interceptions, including one that he returned for a touchdown. Hurst broke up 11 passes last season, second only to Fleming’s 14, and he’ll again be slotted at field corner. In the spring, Gabe Lynn proved himself capable of more playing time and could easily start at one of the corner positions, and the Sooners also will look to Julian Wilson. Aaron Colvin moves to strong safety from corner. He started and played well against Texas last year. Others who will compete there are redshirt-freshmen James Haynes and Quentin Hayes. It also won’t be a shock to see strong side linebacker Tony Jefferson in the role. Over at free safety, Javon Harris and Sam Proctor are the most familiar names. Harris was brilliant at Oklahoma State last season when he logged eight tackles in a relief role. Proctor, a senior, has started 10 games in a Sooner uniform and played in 40.

The changes on special teams will be negligible. There may be some adjustment to a few of the returner roles, but otherwise, most of the key figures return.
Kicker
Holder
Oklahoma will take to the field in 2011 with its third different holder in as many years following the graduation of John Nimmo. Nyko Symonds and Ben Sherrard both received work at the position in the spring and will spend the fall camp attempting to hold down the position.
Deep Snapper
James Winchester, an athletic player who recovered three fumbles and made three tackles last season, is back to hike the ball for punts. Sophomore Austin Woods is expected to fill the same role for placements for a second straight season.
SEASON REVIEW
The Sooners will also be on the lookout for someone who can place kickoffs deep into enemy territory. Tress Way, the team’s punter, had that responsibility for most of last season along with Patrick O’Hara.
Broyles remains dangerous on punt returns. The Sooner staff will spend the fall finalizing options for kickoff returns, but there are several intriguing candidates. As it stands now, there are four on the roster who filled the role last season.
THE SOONERS
Jimmy Stevens was more than solid down the stretch in 2010 and is a strong candidate on placements after making 19-of-23 field goals last season. He’ll work on increasing his range, but Stevens’ accuracy inside 40 yards has been superb.
Returners
COACHING STAFF
The Special Teams
Punter
Tress Way, a junior, is among the best punters in the Big 12 in both distance and placement, and it’s no coincidence that the Sooners have ranked among the nation’s leaders in both net punting and punt coverage defense since he took over.

Oklahoma will play its sixth consecutive 12-game regular-season schedule in 2011, hosting six of those contests in Norman. The Sooners’ schedule will reflect the switch to a 10-team Big 12 Conference as Oklahoma will play all nine conference foes with a season-long, round-robin format replacing the Big 12 Championship. Highlighting the non-conference slate is the Sooners’ first ever trip to Tallahassee, Fla., to take on Florida State. OU will play in-state foe Tulsa for the 24th time while playing Ball State for the first ever time. The matchup with Texas at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas is set for the second Saturday in October while the Bedlam Game against Oklahoma State shifts to the first weekend in December. Oklahoma will host Iowa State over the Thanksgiving weekend.

HEAD COACH
Bob Stoops Head Coach | 13th Season | 129-31 (.806) 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 2010 when Oklahoma won its seventh Big 12 title, all of which have come under the current head coach. Stoops didn’t arrive at OU until the Big 12 was three years old, but already he has coached the program to more than twice as many championhips as any other school in the league. Stoops won a national crown in 2000, just his second season in Norman, and has led the Sooners to 12 consecutive bowl games, a school record, including seven of the BCS variety. Along the way, he has picked up 17 coach of the year citations including eight on the national level (only five coaches nationally have won more conference coach of the year awards), and watched five assistant coaches move into Football Bowl Subdivision head coaching positions. In 12 seasons under Stoops, Oklahoma has been a fixture on the national stage. The brilliance dulls the memory of what he 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. Today, the school reflects on 129 victories (Stoops reached 100 victories faster than any coach in college football history), an average of 10.8 per season, during this coach’s tenure, including a 41-16 mark against opponents ranked among the Associated Press top 25. Two Heisman winners and five Heisman finalists have been characteristic of the talent Stoops and his staff have attracted. The offenses have been among the best in college football history (the 2008 team was the first to score 60 or more points in five straight games). The defense has been stingy and is the only program to produce two players who won the Thorpe and Nagurski Awards in the same season.
70 2011 OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL GUIDE
* SOONERSPORTS.COM
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 cuttingedge strategy and an appreciation for the calculated risk. 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. It was with the Gators, and a national championship team in 1996, 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 129-31 entering his 13th season. He is 84-19 vs. the Big 12, 46-13 vs. the Big 12 South, 38-6 vs. the Big 12 North, 7-1 in the Big 12 title game, 45-12 vs. non-conference opponents, 72-2 at home, 35-16 on the road and 22-13 on neutral fields. • OU has set three NCAA records and set or tied 112 school records under Stoops, not including bowl bests and marks specific to a particular position. Among those marks are passing for a game, season and career; receiving for a game, season and career; rushing for a season and all-purpose yards for a career.

• Stoops has authored two of the seven longest winning streaks in Oklahoma history. His 2000 and 2001 teams combined to win 20 straight, while the 2002 and 2003 teams combined to reel off 14 in a row. Those victories all came against FBS opponents. • Oklahoma owns the nation’s longest current home field winning streak at 36. That’s also 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 eight Big 12 South crowns and seven Big 12 titles. Oklahoma has spent 24 weeks at No. 1 in the AP poll and a national-leading 20 weeks atop the BCS standings. • Oklahoma has held a double-digit lead in 131 of Stoops’ 160 games.

Thatcher). • All 74 games of Stoops tenure have been sold out and the stadium capacity has been increased by some 9,000 seats since his arrival. In a state of 3.5 million people and two other FBS programs, attendance in Norman routinely exceeds 84,000.
HISTORY
Coaching History
• An OU player 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).
SEASON REVIEW
• Oklahoma has played in 12 straight bowl games under Stoops. 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).

2011 SIGNING CLASS Seventeen high school prospects signed letters of intent with Oklahoma as the Sooners once again added one of the nation’s top-rated recruiting classes. Nine different positions and five states are represented on the list. “We like the depth and versatility of this class,” said OU Head Coach Bob Stoops. “It’s a talented, athletic group that will contribute in a lot of different positions.” And some may have the opportunity to contribute quickly. “We were and still are a young team, but our philosophy has been to play the guys who are ready to play,” Stoops said. “We’re seeing more and more who are coming to us with the maturity to be on the field. If they can help us, they’ll have that opportunity.”

OU also added a single player at quarterback, defensive back and defensive end. Twelve of the signees are from Texas with two from Oklahoma and one each from South Dakota, Kansas and Missouri. “We’ve recruited nationally and will continue to do so, but we also recognize that proximity to campus matters and it just so happened that we were able to sign this class from states that are close to Oklahoma,” Stoops said.

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma picked up the 800th win in the history of its football program in a harder-than-expectected 31-24 tussle with Utah State. DeMarco Murray rushed for 208 yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 35 carries, and the Sooners raced out to a 21-0 lead, but had to stave off a second-half comeback when the Aggies responded with 17 unanswered points of their own. Murray ran 63 yards for a touchdown that boosted his team to a 28-17 advantage. The lead grew to 31-17 on a 32-yard Patrick O’Hara field goal. Utah State quarterback Diondre Borel, who was victimized by three interceptions, still kept his team in the game by completing 17-of-36 passes for 341 yards and two touchdowns.

NORMAN, Okla. -- On a day when Oklahoma set a school record with its 70th consecutive sellout, the Sooners romped over Florida State, 47-17. Landry Jones was dazzling, completing 30-of-40 passes for 380 yards with four touchdowns, to four different receivers, and no interceptions. Twelve of his passes went to Ryan Broyles, who logged 124 receiving yards and one touchdown. Florida State picked up four first downs on its opening drive, which resulted in a touchdown, but got just five more through the rest of the game. It was a bittersweet victory for OU Head Coach Bob Stoops, who for the first time in his career squared off against a family member. His brother, Mark, was on the opposite sidline as FSU’s defensive coordinator. Score by Quarters Florida State (1-1, 0-0) Oklahoma (2-0, 0-0)

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma withstood a late Air Force rally to down the Falcons, 27-24, on Military Appreciation Day at Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The Sooners, largely on the legs of DeMarco Murray, rolled to a 27-10 lead in the third period before Air Force mounted a surge. Murray scored all three Sooner touchdowns, two via the run and another on a reception, while accumulating 148 all purpose yards. His final score came with 1:27 remaining in the third quarter and gave the Sooners a seemingly comfortable 17-point lead. But Air Force, the nation’s top rushing squad, closed the gap to just three points with 3:39 to go. When OU got the ball, it logged a pair of first downs and the visitors never got another offensive possession.

DALLAS, TEXAS -- A string of late-game loose balls kept fans on the edge of their seats before Oklahoma finally secured a 28-20 win over Texas in the 105th edition of the Red River Rivalry. The Sooners breezed for much of the game, building a 14-0 lead on an 18-yard DeMarco Murray rush and a 16-yard pass from Landry Jones to Kenny Stills. It was 21-7 at halftime then 28-10 with 12:54 left in the game after Murray tightroped a 20-yard, sideline TD run. Texas responded with 10 unanswered points to get within a touchdown and two-point conversion, then, with just more than one minute to play, appeared to be poised for a huge takeaway when Jones fumbled deep in his own territory. Instead, the ball trickled out of bounds and the Sooners retained possession. Two plays later, Oklahoma punted, but UT’s Aaron Williams muffed the reception and when OU’s James Winchester recovered, the game was iced. Penalties and turnovers helped chart the outcome. The Longhorns were flagged nine times for 81 yards to just five for 29 by Oklahoma, and Texas committed both of the game’s turnovers. 1 7 17

NORMAN, Okla. -- The records fell in bunches as Oklahoma dominated on both sides of the ball in a 52-0 win over Iowa State. DeMarco Murray scored three touchdowns to run his career total to 58 and eclipse the 41-year-old Oklahoma mark of 57 held by Steve Owens. Ryan Broyles caught 15 passes to break his own OU record for receptions in a game and Landry Jones, who was an amazing 30-of-34, fell just one completion shy of tying the NCAA record for completion percentage in a game (min. 30 passing attempts). As it stood, Jones’ percentage of 88.2 set a school record for the top percentage by a quarterback with at least 25 attempts. Jones completed his first 13 passes of the game to equal the longest streak of consecutive completions in his career. All the while, the defense stymied a Cyclone offense that had scored 28 points just one week earlier against No. 10-ranked Utah. ISU mustered just 183 yards on 60 plays. Travis Lewis led the Sooners with 14 tackles.

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- For the third time in four weeks, Oklahoma marched to an impressive lead then held on in the waning moments to claim victory. This one was a 31-29 triumph over Cincinnati in the Sooners’ first game away from Norman of the season. When Mossis Madu scored on a five-yard run early in the third quarter, Oklahoma had amassed a convincing 24-9 advantage. The tide began to turn after OU’s only turnover of the game, a Landry Jones interception, with just under 12 minutes to play. The Bearcats marched down the field to score a touchdown, but then fumbled on their next two possessions. One of those set-up the final OU score, a 5-yard pass from Jones to Trey Millard, that proved to be the difference. OU had to recover an onside kick with less that one minute remaining, but did so and ran out the clock. Jones completed 36 passes on a career-high 51 attempts for 370 yards.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Oklahoma committed a pair of red zone turnovers and missed a 30-yard field goal. Those scoring miscues proved too costly to overcome in a 36-27 loss at Missouri. The Sooners had committed just five turnovers through their first six games, but had three against the Tigers. After surrendering a touchdown on a short opening kickoff , OU battled back to tie the game twice before taking its only lead, 21-20, at the 2:48 mark of the third quarter. Missouri then reeled off 16 unanswered points to seal the outcome. Landry Jones completed 32-of-50 passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns, but was picked off twice. Despite playing a reduced number of snaps due to injury, Ryan Broyles hauled in eight passes for 110 yards.
NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma threw for a school record 488 yards and the Sooner defense stymied Colorado as the Sooners notched an impressive 43-10 victory in Norman. Ryan Broyles caught nine passes for a school record 208 yards and three touchdowns to highlight the aerial show. His scoring grabs came from 16, 81 and 64 yards with the 81-yarder registering as the longest pass play of Bob Stoops’ 12-year tenure. Landry Jones was on the throwing end of that play and he, too, was brilliant completing 32-of-46 passes for 453 yards, just 15 shy of Sam Bradford’s single-game record. OU’s defense was especially good in pass coverage with a season-high 11 deflections. The Buffaloes completed just 17-of-44 attempts.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Oklahoma failed to get any points on three trips inside Texas A&M’s five-yard line and dropped a 33-19 decision to the Aggies. The Sooners trailed 9-0 early in the game after committing a safety on a high snap on the game’s first play from scrimmage, then surrendering a touchdown on the ensuing Texas A&M drive. OU rallied in the third quarter with 17 unanswered points to close the gap to 19-17, but never got any closer. Oklahoma had 12 more first downs than the Aggies and a nearly three-minute advantage in possession time, but succumbed to the big play. The home team reeled off a 100-yard kickoff return and a 64-yard pass play for touchdowns. During the game, DeMarco Murray broke Joe Washington’s OU record for most all-purpose yards in a career, while Ryan Broyles tied Mark Clayton’s mark for career receptions.

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma won its eighth straight game in the Bedlam Series with a wild 47-41 triumph. The two teams combined to score 40 points in the fourth quarter. Oklahoma ran a school record 107 plays, while converting 16-of-27 third downs. Landry Jones tied Sam Bradford’s school record for passing yards in a game with 468 and tossed an 86-yard TD pass to Cameron Kenney and a 76-yard scoring strike to James Hanna over the final 3:03. Meanwhile, the Sooner defense performed well as 14 of the OSU points were scored by the Cowboy defense and special teams.

WACO, Texas -- Oklahoma got touchdowns from the offense and the defense, and added a safety by the special teams in a convincing 53-24 win at Baylor. Landry Jones finished with 26 completions on 39 attempts for 325 yards with three touchdowns and one interception. DeMarco Murray, who scored the first TD on a 76-yard swing pass, racked up 182 all-purpose yards and crossed the goal line twice. Ryan Broyles caught 12 passes for 113 yards and another TD, while Jimmy Stevens made three field goals. The Bears scored 14 points and accounted for nearly 40 percent of their 361 yards in the fourth quarter after OU had built a 53-10 lead. OU’s Ronnell Lewis returned an interception 12 yards for a touchdown and Marcus Trice forced the safety by stripping the ball through the end zone on a kick return. OU’s punt coverage unit set up another short field and touchdown by recovering a fumble at the Baylor 8.
NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma’s senior day was nearly flawless as the Sooners rocked Texas Tech, 45-7. After Tech tied the game at 7-7 midway through the first period, OU scored the game’s final 38 points. Landry Jones was razor sharp completing 22-of-29 passes for 317 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions. Three of his TD strikes went to Ryan Broyles, who finished the game with eight grabs for 119 yards. Broyles broke or tied five school records during the game, including most receptions in a season and career and most touchdown receptions in a career. On defense, Oklahoma held the Red Raiders 24 points below their scoring average. Quinton Carter’s 17 tackles were the most by a Sooner defensive back since Brandon Everage’s 19 against Colorado in 2002, and Travis Lewis and Jonathan Nelson both recorded interceptions.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Oklahoma staged the largest comeback in the history of the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship game to overtake Nebraska, 23-20. The Sooners trailed 17-0, but rallied for their seventh conference title. OU forced four Husker turnovers, including an interception and a pair of fumble recoveries by linebacker Travis Lewis, to key the comeback. Oklahoma climbed back within 20-17 at halftime, then got a pair of Jimmy Stevens field goals in the second half to claim the win. Landry Jones threw for 342 yards against one of the nation’s top secondaries, and hooked up three times with Kenny Stills for 83 yards and one touchdown. Aside from Lewis, the defensive standout was defensive tackle Pryce Macon. The converted defensive end logged a careerhigh five tackles for loss including three sacks as Oklahoma limited NU to just 13 first downs, 293 total yards and 145 yards on the ground.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Landry Jones set an Oklahoma bowl record for passing yards in a game and Ryan Broyles did the same for receiving yards as the Sooners cruised past Big East champion Connecticut, 48-20, in the 40th Annual Tosititos Fiesta Bowl. OU rolled up 524 yards, including 429 on the arm of Jones, who completed 34-of-49 passes with three touchdowns and one interception. Broyles had 170 receiving yards and a touchdown, while Cameron Kenney had 154 and one TD. The Sooner defense stymied UConn, allowing just 335 total yards and no touchdowns. The Huskies crossed the goal line twice, once on an interception return and once on a kickoff return. Oklahoma had two interception returns for touchdowns, a 55-yarder by Jamell Fleming and a 22-yarder by Tony Jefferson. The victory was Oklahoma’s second in a row in bowl competition and it snapped a five-game losing streak in BCS games. Score by Quarters Connecticut (8-5, 5-2) Oklahoma (12-2, 6-2)

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.
Statistics Leaders Rushing: OU - Golding, 12-91 NCSU - Palmer, 10-70 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.

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.

Game Summary OU won its first national championship by going a perfect 10-0 in the regular season. 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.
SEASON REVIEW
Game Summary Wilkinson’s team was rated second in the nation and it was the first one of his squads to post an undefeated record, 10-0. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
HISTORY
Game Summary Florida State used a sophisticated passing attack to win easily. 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.

SEASON REVIEW
Game Summary It was Bud Wilkinson’s last bowl game. 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.

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.

Auburn featured Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan. It was run versus pass, with OU’s runners prevailing. The Sooners roared to a 31-0 halftime lead and amassed 439 yards rushing by game’s end, a new Oklahoma and Sugar Bowl record. 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.

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.

SEASON REVIEW
Game Summary Played for the first time on New Year’s Eve, the Sugar Bowl brought the Big Eight Champion Sooners to do battle with Joe Paterno’s fifthranked Nittany Lions. 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.
Game Summary It was Oklahoma’s first bowl trip under legendary head coach Barry Switzer and a storybook setting. 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.

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.

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.

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.
HISTORY
Game Summary A season that produced four losses for Oklahoma ended on a bright note with an easier than anticipated 40-14 victory over Houston. 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.

SEASON REVIEW
Game Summary This contest featured a rematch with a great deal more excitement as OU turned to a foreign weapon, the pass, to notch its third straight Orange Bowl win. 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.

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.

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.

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).
HISTORY
Game Summary The Sooners’ hopes of winning their seventh national championship were put to rest by Miami, 20-14. 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.
Game Summary After a dry three quarters and the score deadlocked at 6-6, Clemson held off a late Sooner rally to post a 13-6 victory and give the ACC its first victory over the Sooners in 16 tries. 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.

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.

OU’s defense logged six sacks and two interceptions to set the tone. Rose Bowl MVP Nate Hybl tossed two TD passes and Quentin Griffin rushed for 144 yards as the OU offense wore down the Cougars. Oklahoma became just the fourth school in college football history to win the four BCS games and the Cotton Bowl.

HISTORY
1950
Game Summary Arkansas’ defense played well, but few will remember. 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.

SEASON REVIEW
Game Summary Top-ranked Oklahoma used a smothering defense to shut down the third-ranked Seminoles and Josh Heupel generated enough offense to lead OU to a perfect season. 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 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.

Tied at halftime, Florida outscored Oklahoma 17-7 in the second half despite the 110-yard rushing effort by Chris Brown and the 256 yards of passing from Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford. Oklahoma tight end Jermaine Gresham led all receivers with eight catches, including two for TDs. OU was unable to overcome two costly stops inside the 10-yard line and two interceptions that were initally touched by Oklahoma receivers.

HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS BOOMER S OONER
Billy “Curly” Vessels was the man who started it all. The first Sooner to win college football’s most prestigious individual achievement award, Vessels led the Sooners to a 26-4-1 record during his tenure.
Oklahoma’s Steve Owens was a 6-2, 215-pound powerhouse from Miami, Okla., who ravaged defenses from 1967-69, setting four conference records of the day.
The 1950 Sooners, under the direction of head coach Bud Wilkinson, went 10-1 to give the Sooners their first of seven national championships. As a sophomore, Vessels started on the 1950 squad, scoring 15 touchdowns.
OU’s workhorse carried the ball 358 times in 1969 for 1,523 yards while scoring 23 touchdowns (another school record). Playing on a 1969 squad that had been hurt badly by graduation in 1968, Owens carried the load for the Sooner offense.
But Vessels’ most successful individual season came during his senior campaign when he won the Heisman Trophy. Vessels rushed for 1,072 yards on 167 carries and scored 17 touchdowns. Creating a new meaning for the word “versatile,” the Cleveland, Okla., slasher was part of every phase of the Sooner offensive attack. Vessels was even a threat from above. “Curly” connected on seven passes for two touchdowns in 1952.
In 1953, Vessels turned pro for the Edmonton Eskimos and won the Schenley Award as the top player in Canada. Vessels then served as an officer in the U.S. Army. Vessels was elected to the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame in 1974. Avg 6.1 5.3 6.4 6.3

Owens holds the record for the most carries in a game (55) and career (958). He finished his career with 4,041 yards on the ground, the third most in school history. Detroit drafted Owens in the first round. He was the first Lion to gain over 1,000 yards in a season and was an All-Pro selection in 1971 and 1972. In 1991, Owens was named to the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and was the Walter Camp Foundation Alumnus of the Year. Owens was inducted into the Orange Bowl Hall of Honor in 1992.

The great career of Steve Owens left a mark on the OU record book. Owens holds five Sooner records. He is the school’s all-time leading scorer with 57 touchdowns during his career.
THE SOONERS
The 1952 Sooners went 8-1-1, finishing fourth in the nation, and won Oklahoma’s ninth conference title. OU opened with a 21-21 tie with Colorado and then reeled off five straight wins, averaging 46 points a game. OU dropped a 27-21 decision to Notre Dame and then finished strong by sweeping the last three games.
Owens had two 200-plus yard games while leading the Sooners to a 6-4 season. Spurred by Owens’ effort, Oklahoma averaged 28.5 points a game in 1969.

Billy Sims, a 6-0, 205-pound running back from Hooks, Texas, swept through defenses like a tornado flying across the Oklahoma landscape.
OU quarterback Jason White became the trigger man for the country’s most potent offensive attack. At a school where the points have flowed like an Oklahoma gusher, White led the OU team that outscored all of its predecessors (601 total points).
He set a Big Eight single-season rushing record in 1978 with 1,896 yards on 256 carries. Sims led the nation in rushing, averaging more than 7.0 yards per carry. He topped the 200-yard mark in four different games (a school best) during the 1978 season. Sims led the Sooners to an 11-1 record, Orange Bowl championship and third-place finish in the final poll. OU opened with a 35-29 win over Stanford and then crushed West Virginia and Rice by a combined score of 118-17. The Sooners rolled over Texas and the first five games of the conference schedule heading into the Nebraska game. Sims ran for 153 yards, but it was not enough as the Sooners fell, 17-14. OU responded by clubbing Oklahoma State, 62-7, and then was rematched with the Cornhuskers in the Orange Bowl. OU edged Nebraska 31-24 in the second meeting between the top-10 schools. Sims is second in the OU record books for rushing yards in a season (1,896), most 200-yard games in a season (4) and a career (7). He finished his career with 4,118 yards and stands first on the all-time rushing list.

He did so with uncanny accuracy, especially on deep throws, and a touchdown to interception ratio (four to one), so gaudy that it read like a typographical error. White set school records for touchdown passes in a season (40) and game (5, twice). His season passing total ranked No. 2 at OU. He was No. 4 nationally in touchdown percentage (8.87), No. 7 in passing efficiency (158.11), No. 18 in interception percentage (2.22) and No. 22 in total offense (264.0). The outpouring of recognition was impressive. White captured player of the year honors from the Associated Press, Sports Illustrated, The Sporting News and CNNSI.com. He also won the Davey O’Brien Award and the Jim Thorpe Courage Award. White returned for another season after his Heisman campaign and finished third in the voting. It was an unprecedented finish by one school when his teammate Adrian Peterson finished second.

2011 OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL GUIDE
* SOONERSPORTS.COM
HEISMAN TROPHY WINNERS Oklahoma players have earned All-America honors 32 times during head coach Bob Stoops’ 12-year tenure in Norman (an average of nearly three per year). The total includes 16 players from the defense, 14 players on offense and two from the special teams. From Josh Heupel and J.T. Thatcher in 2000 to Ryan Broyles and Quinton Carter in 2010, Stoops has coached an athlete into earning All-America status every year but 2005.
As the leader of the most potent and highest scoring offense in NCAA history, 716 points, Sam Bradford rewrote the Oklahoma record books on a continual basis throughout the 2008 season while lighting up scoreboards like an employee of General Electric.
When the dust had settled on the 2008 season, Bradford led the nation in passing efficiency and touchdowns, was No. 3 nationally in passing yards, set the Oklahoma season records for yards, touchdowns, passing efficiency, 200-yard games, 300-yard games, and 400-yard games along with breaking the career record for TD passes.
Stoops’ most fruitful year? 2003. Seven Sooners were hand picked to All-America teams, five earned consensus honors. Generally considered the most loaded squad at OU under Stoops, the 2003 group marked the largest pack of All-Americans since 1974 when eight OU athletes were named All-Americans, including five that were consensus. Showing versatility, players at OU under Stoops have earned All-America honors at 14 different positions.
THE SOONERS
Bradford threw for at least four touchdown passes in eight games, tossing five scoring strikes in four different games. In addition, Bradford surpassed Florida’s Rex Grossman with the most touchdowns through the freshman and sophomore years with 82.
Seven sooners have received multiple All-America honors under Stoops’ watch. Gerald McCoy, Duke Robinson, Jammal Brown, Rocky Calmus, Tommie Harris, Teddy Lehamn and Roy Williams have each garnered the honor twice in their respective careers.
In one of the closest Heisman races in recent history, Bradford held off fellow quarterbacks Colt McCoy and Tim Tebow to become the fifth winner in program history. Bradford also brought home the Associated Press Player of the Year, Davey O’Brien, Sammy Baugh and Chic Harley awards while being named the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year by the league coaches.

A hometown product from Norman, Ryan Broyles rewrote the receiving section of the Oklahoma record books in 2010. When the dust had settled on the season, Broyles held eight of the nine major receiving records in Oklahoma history, spanning from game records to career records. The junior became just the third NCAA statistical champion in Oklahoma history as he led the nation with 9.36 receptions per game. He was also tops in total receptions with 131, 20 more than the next closest player. A Biletnikoff Award finalist a consensus All-American, Broyles hauled in 131 passes for 1,622 yards and 14 touchdowns. Broyles exceed the 100-yard receiving mark in 10 of Oklahoma’s 14 games and had at least eight receptions in 12 games, hitting double-digit receptions on six occasions. Year 2008 2009 2010 Total

A consensus All-American in 2009, Trent Williams earned the reputation as one of the most versatile offensive lineman to play on Owen Field.
The first tight end to earn All-America honors under Bob Stoops, Jermaine Gresham turned in a record-setting season in 2008 when he was a finalist for the Mackey Award and a member of The Sporting News All-America team.
Named first team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association, Associated Press, and the Walter Camp Foundation and first team All-Big 12 by six organizations, Williams was the ringleader of the Oklahoma offensive line in 2009. After starting at right tackle for the better part of his first three collegiate years, Williams slid across the line his final year to protect the blind side of Sam Bradford and Landry Jones. When injuries left the Sooners with no available centers in the Sun Bowl against Stanford, Williams answered the call in the middle as the Oklahoma offensive line gave up no sacks against the Cardinal.

A matchup nightmare for opposing defensive coordinators, Gresham had more TDs (14) and receiving yards (950) in a season than any other tight end in program history. Named first team All-Big 12 by the conference coaches, Gresham exceeded 90 yards in five games and five receptions in eight games. When the team needed it the most, Gresham performed, racking up 25 catches, 302 yards and four touchdowns in the final three games of the season. Year 2006 2007 2008 Total

McCoy’s presence was never more felt than in the 2009 FedEx BCS National Championship game where he constantly harassed the Florida offense while grabbing his first career interception.
Lofton led Oklahoma with 156 tackles, sixth-best in program history, and established a school record with nine double-digit tackles including a career-high 18 tackles in the team’s first meeting against Missouri.

The best season ever by a freshman? The argument could be made. Adrian Peterson set an NCAA freshman rushing record for most rushing yards with the third-highest figure in the nation for the season. He also eclipsed the OU standard for most rushing yards in a season.
Dan Cody was so destructive as a senior that OU coaches devised a special position for him. Cody, at times, stood up from his defensive end spot to play a spinner role. In that capacity, he roamed the defensive front and menaced opposing offenses. At season’s end, he had the top sack total in the Big 12 with 10 and a spot on the FWAA’s All-America team. Cody was a two-time finalist for the Hendricks Award who was noted for his all-out effort. At Texas A&M, he blacked out while exhorting teammates, then returned to the game.
On the awards circuit, Peterson had the highest finish ever by a freshman in the Heisman voting (second) and was the first freshman to be named a finalist for the Doak Walker Award. He was a consensus All-American. Peterson’s durability was surprising for a freshman. He led the nation with 339 rushing attempts and went over 100 yards in 11 of 13 games, including his debut. A thundering power back, he also had eight bursts of 35 yards or longer and 44 of 10 or more. Peterson broke three NCAA freshman rushing records: most consecutive 100-yard rushing games (9), most total 100-yard rushing games (11) and most rushing attempts by a freshman with 314. Year 2004

2004 & 2003 * ALL-AMERICAN * JAMMAL BROWN * OT
A two-time finalist for the Rimington Award as the nation’s top center, Vince Carter was a four-year fixture at Oklahoma. He was rewarded as a senior when he was named to the prestigious Walter Camp All-America team.
A dominating senior season led to Jammal Brown earning Oklahoma’s fourth Outland Trophy. He followed that up as a first-round pick (No. 13) by the New Orleans Saints.
The Waco, Texas, native stepped in as a freshman when Josh Smith went out with an injury in 2001 and went on to start at center for the Sooners for four seasons.
He did not allow a sack or hurry during the regular season while logging a team-best 130 knockdown blocks. At season’s end Brown was a consensus All-American.
He earned first team All-Big 12 Conference honors in 2003 and 2004.
As a junior, Brown had the highest line grade in a year when the offense had one of the most productive seasons in school history. The performance landed the Lawton native on the American Football Coaches Association’s first team All-America squad.
As a senior in 2004, Carter helped pave the way for running back Adrian Peterson and protected quarterback Jason White -- both Heisman Trophy finalists -- as the Sooners completed a second consecutive undefeated regular season and won the 2004 Big 12 Conference Championship.

Brown had 127 knockdowns and ran his string of consecutive starts to 28 during the season.
ALL-AMERICANS UNDER STOOPS Noted as one of the great stories of progress in OU history, Mark Clayton went from struggling to bench press 135 pounds in his first workout to twice being named an All-American. By the time his career was over, he held virtually every Sooner receiving record and was widely regarded as the best to ever play the position at the school.
Antonio Perkins became the nation’s most feared punt returner by re-writing the NCAA record book during his junior season. He set an NCAA mark with four returns for touchdowns on the season, including an NCAA record three against UCLA.

He also set an NCAA mark with 277 punt return yards against the Bruins. His other touchdown return, which tied the NCAA career mark at seven, came against Missouri. The returns were spectacular too, with lengths of 84, 74 and 65 against UCLA and 65 against Missouri. Perkins, who also started every game at cornerback and had two interceptions on the season, finished No. 20 in the nation in return average, but that figure was diluted by the fact that his 53 attempts out-distanced the rest of the country’s returners by at least eight.

COACHING STAFF
After a wildly successful junior season, Clayton’s numbers dipped somewhat as a senior, but that was attributable to an improved runnin`g game and a deeper receiving corps. He still led OU in receptions and yards and was named the the AFCA All-America team. Moreover, when punt returner Antonio Perkins was injured, Clayton added that role and took back one for a touchdown at OSU. As a junior, Clayton built a reputation as perhaps the most elusive receiver in the nation with 533 yards after catch (YAC). He set OU standards with 83 receptions for 1,425 yards and broke the school mark for receiving yards in a game with 190 against Texas.

THE SOONERS
2003 * ALL-AMERICAN * JASON WHITE * QB
Derrick Strait duplicated former OU great Roy Williams by winning the Nagurski (best defensive player) and Thorpe (best defensive back) Awards in 2003. Strait earned consensus All-American and All-Big 12 honors as a senior. He was named AP Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.
From two reconstructive knee surgeries in successive years to consensus All-American. That was the out-of-the-blue story for Jason White, who wasn’t even announced as the team’s starter until the summer before the 2003 season. He posted mind-boggling numbers, the most impressive of which were the 40 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions.

HISTORY
He started every game at corner and tied for the OU lead with six interceptions. He contributed immediately as a redshirt freshman and was named Big 12 Conference Defensive Newcomer of the Year in Oklahoma’s 2000 National Championship season.
White proved particularly adept at completing the long ball and set a school season record with 17 hookups of 40 or more yards. He completed 50 percent or more of his passes in all but two games and was over 60 percent nine times, including 16-of-21 against Texas and 16-of-18 vs. Texas A&M. He fired five TD strikes against both Iowa State and A&M and had a career-high 394 passing yards against Texas Tech.

Tommie Harris rose to the pinnacle of his position in his junior season, which would be his last at OU. He departed for the NFL after just three years in Norman. As a junior, he continued to rocket into opposing backfields with his uncanny quickness. Harris had 10 tackles for loss and 19 quarterback hurries.
Determining the greatest linebacker in OU history is a tough chore. With Teddy Lehman in the mix, determining the fastest is much easier. That speed, which made him an outstanding high school sprinter, set the Sooner backer apart from his peers. He capped a brilliant career by winning the Butkus and Bednarik Awards after finishing as a finalist for each just one year earlier. His ability to get from sideline to sideline caught a lot of attention ... and ball carriers. As a senior, he had 117 tackles, including 19 for 47 yards in losses.
After finishing as a finalist for the Lombardi Award one year earlier, he won the coveted piece of hardware in his final Sooner season. He also was one of four finalists for the Nagurski Award, which went to teammate Derrick Strait. Harris’ sophomore season was impressive despite an injury. Slowed all by a groin pull suffered in August, Harris still faced regular double teams. He was named to three All-America squads and was named a finalist for the Bednarik Award. He was the 14th overall selection in the 2004 draft by the Chicago Bears. Year 2001 2002 2003 Totals

As a junior, Lehman logged 112 tackles, including 17 for loss. He also had two interceptions, which went for 51 yards in returns, including one that set up the go-ahead touchdown against Texas. His one-yard return against Texas as a sophomore, the one that came on the back end of a play that saw Roy Williams leap a blocker to disrupt Longhorn QB Chris Simms, is one of the most memorable plays in school history. He was picked in the second round of the 2004 draft by the Detroit Lions. Year UT AT 2000 7 4 2001 59 30 2002 85 27 2003 63 54 Totals 214 115

2001 * ALL-AMERICAN * JEFF FERGUSON * P
Free safety Brandon Everage earned All-America honors after a stellar junior campaign in 2002.
Most punters are known for the length and/or the accuracy of their kicks. Jeff Ferguson was outstanding in both areas. But Ferguson separated himself with athletic ability and intelligent play that made him the complete player at his position. He ended his career as the school record holder for punting average in a career and became just the second player in school history to average more than 40 yards in each of his four seasons. The length of the kicks did not come at the expense of accuracy. Twenty-one of his 71 senior season punts were downed inside the 20-yard line. The thunderous punts and the balls that trickled dead deep in enemy territory will be secondary as time remembers Ferguson’s career, though. In his junior season, he made a brilliant play in the national championship game against Florida State, turning a bad snap into a safety rather than an opportunity for the Seminoles to get back into the game.
Six interceptions, with 107 yards in returns, would indicate that Everage understood the centerfield nature of his position. The 94 tackles, thirdhighest on the team, speak to the linebacker-like mentality with which the Oklahoma free safety played. It was that combination of abilities that landed Everage on the All-America rolls. Everage recorded 60 tackles in 2003 (44 solo) including four for loss and one sack. He also nabbed one interception with four passes broken up. Year UT 2000 27 2001 54 2002 65 2003 44 Totals 190

ALL-AMERICANS UNDER STOOPS By the time his career was over, Roy Williams was more feared by offensive opponents and more respected by his defensive peers than any player in the country.
Only a few players define their position, but that is precisely what Rocky Calmus meant to college football. As a senior, he won the Dick Butkus Award as the nation’s top linebacker, but also was a finalist for the Nagurski and Bednarik Awards as the nation’s best defender and the Lombardi Award as the country’s top interior player. His senior year total of 117 tackles vaulted him into Oklahoma’s top five career tacklers and capped an incredible career.
In his final season at Oklahoma, he won the Nagurski Award as the nation’s top defender and the Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back. He was No. 7 in the Heisman Trophy voting, the highest finish of the year by a non-quarterback. Williams bypassed his senior season of eligibility to enter the NFL draft, but still left his mark on the OU record book. He was drafted in the first round (No. 8 pick overall) in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. UT 57 58 73 188

The runner-up for the 2000 Heisman Trophy, Josh Heupel became Oklahoma’s first consensus All-America quarterback and the first Sooner QB to earn All-America honors since Jack Mildren in 1971.
A standout on both defense and special teams, J.T. Thatcher was named an All-American as both a defensive back and returner. The Mosi Tatupu Special Teams Player of the Year Award winner, Thatcher was one of only seven players to return two or more punts for a touchdown in 2000 and ranked ninth nationally in punt return average. A four-time Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week selection, Thatcher set OU’s single-game (160) and single-season (599) records for punt return yards. He also posted the second-highest single-game kickoff return yard total with 150, including a 93-yard return to set up OU’s go-ahead touchdown against second-ranked Kansas State. Thatcher was a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award and tied school records for interceptions in a game (3) and season (8).
As team captain his two years with the Sooners, Heupel is largely credited with turning an offense that statistically ranked as one of the worst in the nation before his arrival into one of the most explosive in the country. Heupel was named Associated Press Player of the Year, Walter Camp Player of the Year, The Sporting News Player of the Year, CBS Sports Player of the Year, Big 12 Player of the Year and Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year in 2000.

ALL-TIME ALL-AMERICANS oklahoma ALL-AMERICANS • During Bob Stoops’ tenure, Oklahoma has produced 32 All-Americans. Twenty of the 32 were consensus picks. Before he arrived in Norman, the Sooners had not produced a consensus All-American since 1988. • Coach Stoops’ 32 All-Americans include 14 on offense, 16 on defense and two on special teams. They played 14 different positions. • The most total All-Americans in one season came in 1974 and 1975 when eight Sooners were so honored. There were seven during the 2003 season. • In 2003, Oklahoma set a record when six Sooners were named to the Football Writers’ (FWAA) All-America team. • Oklahoma had at least one All-American in 18 consecutive seasons from 1971-1988. There was also a 14-year stretch from 1946-1959. • Three sets of brothers have been All-Americans at OU: Lee Roy, Dewey and Lucious Selmon all earned the honor as did Steve and Tinker Owens and Buddy and Kurt Burris. • Seven Sooner All-Americans went on to serve as assistant coaches at OU: Leon Cross, Eddie Crowder, Frank “Pop” Ivy, Claude Reeds, J.D. Roberts, Lucious Selmon and Jackie Shipp.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
DAVID & MOLLY SHI BOREN
BOOMER S OONER
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
1950
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 increased from 100 to 557 and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 125,000 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.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
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.
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 $1.9 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 $67 million National Weather Center on OU’s Norman campus, the $90 million OU Cancer Institute on OU’s Health Sciences Center campus in Oklahoma City and the $35 million OU-Tulsa Schusterman Center Clinic .
SEASON REVIEW
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.
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 Joe C. and Carole Kerr McClendon 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 SOONERS
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.
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.
COACHING STAFF
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.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Joe Castiglione Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Programs and Director of Athletics, The University of Oklahoma Excellence is a word that is often overused yet, when The University of Oklahoma is mentioned with the word excellence, the meaning comes through. From one of the best universities in the nation to a department of intercollegiate athletics that is second to none, excellence is the norm. As successful at the last 10 years have been, on campus and in competition, a new standard has been set and leading that effort is Joe Castiglione, the Sooner AD since 1998. Castiglione’s Sooner team has created a place where competitive dreams come true and academic goals are the expectations, not the exceptions. Through his leadership and the support of the University’s administration, there is a department-wide commitment, involving student-athletes, coaches and staff, to that standard. With the support of OU President David L. Boren and OU’s seven-member Board of Regents and Castiglione’s leadership, the OU athletics department represents a climate that creates lofty goals, high standards and a commitment to ethical behavior that is second to none. 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 administrative career at Missouri, Castiglione has seen the Sooners finish in the top 30 of the Learfield Director’s Cup in 11 of the last 13 years. OU finished 10th after the 2010-11 academic year, a position that marked an all-time best performance in the annual ranking of programs that succeed across the board. 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 13 years. His understanding of how the department fits into the University’s academic mission led to a decision in June 2009 to increase the direct support provided by the department on an annual basis to $4 million dollars. Through direct and indirect support, OU Athletics, under Castiglione’s leadership, provides more than $7 million annually to OU’s Academics Budget. 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. 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 National Athletic Director of the Year in May 2009 by the Sports Business Journal. 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.

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 graduate classes in Marketing Development and Leadership in Higher Education. 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 more than $220 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 studentathletes and has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics. 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 fundraising 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 previous terms and is the current 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. His involvement in the local community has led to service with civic clubs, churches and charities, including the United Way of Norman. Castiglione served his third term as OU’s campus co-chair this past year, which resulted in the highest recorded contributions ever by faculty, staff and students to the United Way of Norman’s annual campaign. 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.

Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is one of America’s most recognized college football cathedrals. Situated on the east side of the Norman campus, this historical facility is the largest sports arena in the state and, following its recent expansion, now ranks among the 15 largest on-campus facilities in the nation. Memorial Stadium’s rich heritage has not hindered its evolution, a neverending growth fueled by the football program’s overwhelming popularity. Almost since its inception, the stadium has been a work in progress. That fact holds true today. Using bond money and generous contributions, the stadium has recently undergone a number of changes. Prior to the 2009 season, Switzer Center additions and renovations were completed in Barry Switzer Center. The players locker room was expanded and remodeled while a 950-square foot hydrotherapy area and a new 4,000-square foot Red Room with seating for 211 were built. The most major of those was a $4.5 million venture that added a state of the art 3,689 square feet HD video board atop the south endzone in 2008. The summer of 2003 saw a venture that added 8,000 seats inculding 27 suites on the stadium’s east side, bringing the total number of suites to 63. At the same time, the press box was remodeled and outfitted with several state of the art features. Another phase of that project stretched into 2004 when renovations to the Santee Lounge, restroom and concessions facilities and a new brick facade on the west side were completed.

In the two years prior to the stadium upgrade and expansion, renovations were completed in the coaches’ offices, locker rooms, sports medicine and weight training facilities. In 1921, University of Oklahoma students started a movement for construction of a student union. By 1925, the idea had grown to include a combined football stadium/student union. In the original architect’s drawings, the north end of the proposed structure was strikingly similar to the present Oklahoma Memorial Union, which eventually was constructed separately when head coach Bennie Owen suggested it would be best to raise funds for a union and a stadium. The first game played at the site took place Oct. 20,1923 (a 63-7 win over Washington, Mo.), before the stadium/union plan got under way. The field was named Owen Field after Owen, who became a charter member of the National Football Hall of Fame. In 1925, the first contest was played in front of the new stands on the west side of the field. The 16,000-seat Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, named in honor of University personnel who died in World War I, was erected at a cost of approximately $293,000. Stands on the east side of the stadium were added prior to the 1929 season. That addition increased the seating capacity to 32,000, where it stood for 20 years.
1982
The changes produced 7,000 new ringside seats and brought capacity to 55,000. The north end of the stadium also was enclosed. In 1957, green grandstand bleachers were added to the south end of the field, enabling the stadium to hold 61,836 fans.

Eighteen years later came the addition of the upper deck and new press box. Another 8,436 seats were added at a cost of $5,726,345. Capacity for the 1975 National Championship season was 71,187. Before the 1980 season, the old green bleachers were replaced with the new south end zone facility. In addition to improved seating, the complex included coaches’ offices, the weight room, meeting rooms, a training room, the equipment room and two locker rooms. The addition brought the stadium capacity to 75,004. Capacity was decreased to 72,765 prior to the 1998 season to provide more wheelchair seating.

In 1949, OU president George L. Cross pushed for expansion and the result was a six-foot lowering of the old playing surface and the elimination of a running track that surrounded the playing area.
In July, 1970 the original natural grass surface was removed and artificial turf was installed. That tartan turf was replaced with super turf before the 1981 season. Owen Field returned to grass in 1994.

A Stadium Master Plan was approved by the OU Board of Regents in June 1994. Construction of nine west side suites began in April 1995 and was completed that year. The suites are leased annually. Eight of the suites seat 12 and the President’s suite seats 24. Subsequent improvements included the installation of stadium lights to allow night games, a new scoreboard and a video screen.

The Barry Switzer Center, named after the former OU head football coach, opened in April 1999. The complex includes a sports medicine facility with the latest equipment and technology to better accommodate OU’s student-athletes; the Robin Siegfried and Family Strength and Conditioning Facility, which can accommodate more than 400 athletes; new locker rooms; new coaches offices; the Anderson All-American Plaza and the OU Touchdown Club Legends Lobby. The Legends Lobby, which underwent a $1 million upgrade in the summer of 2004, features some of OU’s finest moments, most legendary figures and rare memorabilia.

What is a Sooner?
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.
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.
Crimson & Cream
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.
Sooner Schooner
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 well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular appearances at university functions.

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. 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.
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!
