Wow, the third quarter of the Cotton Bowl was the single worst quarter of football I’ve seen OU play since the second quarter of the 55-19 debacle against USC in the 2005 national title game. The warning signs were all there in the first half: Big-play drives by Texas A&M countered by […]

Bill Bedenbaugh apparently will become OU’s new offensive line coach. Although not confirmed by the University of Oklahoma, if the reports are true, it seems Bob Stoops is not committed to improving the run game in Norman. Bedenbaugh has served as the o-line boss at three schools (West Virginia, Arizona and […]

Goals for this spring should include developing an expanded role for fullback Trey Millard and figuring out how OU’s ball carriers will mesh with the planned involvement of the quarterback in the running game. […]

Last week’s shellacking from Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl has sent Sooner fans into a tizzy wondering how Oklahoma can get back on track. Fresh off of taking the OU coaching staff to task for poor preparation in bowl games, Tulsa World columnist John Hoover has further cemented his […]

Once again, conference realignment winds are blowing. (Aren’t they always?) And once again, the Big 12 is in the middle of it, following the not-so-gentle prodding of Oklahoma president David Boren. As of right now, there’s no reason to believe there will be any more tectonic shifts in the near term […]

There may not be two position groups for Oklahoma on more diametric ends of the certainty spectrum this spring than wide receiver and tight end. Mystery men at tight end The TE position seemed almost non-existent in 2012, and there won’t be any new signees coming to the rescue. If […]
