A year from now, the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner should emerge as the NFL’s top draft pick. However, no alarm exists at Oklahoma, which has several talented quarterback prospects watching from the sidelines. In spring drills, the OU coaching staff focused on redshirt freshman Landry Jones as Bradford’s successor. Jones,...

The departure of Manny Johnson, Juaquin Iglesias, and Quentin Chaney left the Sooners without a speedy wide receiver.

The news not only brought a great rejoicing from Sooner fans, but it also narrowed the gap between OU and Texas for supremacy in the Big XII South. If the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner had turned professional, redshirt freshman Landy Jones would have...

With a dramatic flair, Jamarkus McFarland, the nation’s top defensive recruit, telephoned Oklahoma defensive line coach Jackie Shipp at 12:01 a.m. Christmas morning and announced his commitment to OU. When the news soaked in, Shipp responded with the exuberance of a child meeting Santa Claus. The news also brought smiles and...

Oklahoma put the exclamation point on its right to play for the national championship with a resounding 62-21 win over Missouri in the Big XII title game on Saturday. For five straight weeks, the Sooners have scored over 60 points a game, the first college football team to accomplish the feat in 89 years. In 2008, OU set a new season scoring record with 702 points,...

However, Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops has shown he places integrity over expediency. Last week, the Sooners head coach dismissed freshman wide receiver Josh Jarboe from the squad. Because fall drills had not commenced, the Decatur, Ga., native can immediately enroll in another football program with no loss of...
