Welcome From Head Coach Bob StoopsThe football tradition at Oklahoma stands like few others. Here, we celebrate what our teams did 60 years ago and what they did just a few months ago.

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.

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.

2011 Ou FOOTBALL GuIDEThe 2011 Oklahoma Football Guide was designed and produced by the OU Athletics Department in Norman, Okla., using Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop.

70COACHING STAFFIdentifying 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.

90PLAyER BIOSAmong 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.

130SEASON REvIEWThe 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.

140SOONER TRADITIONHistory 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. Review complete statistics, award winners, player honors, letterwinners, bowl game tradition and NFL Sooners.

192SEASON By SEASONThe 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.

Most Successful Program of the Modern EraOklahoma 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:

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.”

BOOMING SOONERSWhat 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.

Greatness begets greatness and there has been plenty of that in Norman lately. Now, from all corners of the country, the best players come to join a program of traditional success that is riding one of its biggest waves.

112 Consecutive Televised GamesImagine 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 MillionSince 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.

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.

SEvEN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

Stoops Leads Oklahoma to Seventh TitleIn 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.

Head Coach Barry SwitzerBarry 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.

Head Coach Bud WilkinsonOklahoma’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 1953-1957. 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.1950

19551956197419751985

HEAD COACH BOB STOOPSOklahoma is Championship FootballNothing 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.

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 withan 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.

41 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPSNo Team Has More Big 12 TitlesOklahoma 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.

43 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Seven Big 12 Conference ChampionshipsSince 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.

Consensus All-Americans in the Big 12University 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 officiallyrecognizes selections from five All-America teams: The Sporting News, AP, AFCA, FWAA andWalter Camp.

A player is designated a consensusAll-American if he is a first team selectionon at least three of the five teams.

Ryan Broyles and Quinton Carter became the latest Sooners to add their names to the prestigious list as both were named consensus All-Americans in 2010.

Eighteen Winners in Last 11 SeasonsFor 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.

SOONERS IN THE NFLElite Program Prepares Players for Next LevelThe league. Pro ball. The next level. It is the dream of every college football player. It is reality for many Oklahoma Sooners. 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 experienceand 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 tomake the NFL flourish at Oklahomaand leave here equipped to playfootball 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.”-GilBrandt NFL.com; Former Director of Player Personnel, Dallas Cowboys

“I’m glad Oklahoma isn’t on my schedule. That’s the fourth Oklahoma player I’ve seen in the first 21 picks. I’ve never seen anything like that before.”JonGrudenESPN Analyst during the 2010 NFL Draft

NATIONAL ATTENTION AT OuSooners at Center of College FootballOklahoma is a household name due to the overwhelming media attention that hovers around the Sooners. Writers and broadcasters representing the nation’s most recognized media outlets regularly interact with Sooner players and coaches and routinely spend time in Norman.

And when they can’t come to campus, those same observers keep tabs on OU thanks to extensive television coverage. In 2009, all 13 Oklahoma games appeared on live television, including six that were carried nationally or regionally on ABC or ESPN. The Sooners are at the very center of college football and the entire world is watching.

The popularity of the Sooners is evident in the immense amount of products and apparel purchased by fans. OU ranks 11th in its consortium in sales of licensed merchandise.

31

Over the past 11 years, ESPN’s popular College Gameday production has broadcast on site from 22 of Oklahoma’s games. That’s an average of more than two games per season.

Sooner football is one of the most popular subjects for SI with 31 cover appearances. Since 2000, Oklahoma players have appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated 10 times.

More than 35 million people visited SoonerSports.com last year, making the official web site of the Oklahoma Athletics Department one of the top collegiate sites in the nation.

The Sooners have played in front of 74 consecutive sellout crowds at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, including every home game of Coach Bob Stoops’ tenure.

97 Over the past nine seasons, 97 percent of Oklahoma’s games were televised live (131 of 135 games). In fact, 112 consecutive OU games have been on TV.

DEMONTRE HuRST

Why Oklahoma? Sam Bradford, St. Louis Rams“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.”

26 BOWL CHAMPIONSHIPSForty-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 OctoberThe 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

FOOTBALL TIME IN OKLAHOMA

Sooners Set to Perform in NormanTo understand a football Saturday in Norman, one must firstunderstand what the sport means to Oklahomans. The Soonerswere 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.

FRANK ALExANDER

SOONERS TAKE THE F I ELD

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.”

The official capacity of Memorial Stadium is 82,112 but OU averaged 84,738 fans per game last season. That put theSooners at No. 12 in the nation in average attendance.

Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium is the 17th largest stadium in the country.

The Sooners have 37 undefeated seasons at home, including 10 perfect home seasons under head coach Bob Stoops.

The Sooners have played in front of 74 consecutivesellout crowds in Norman, every home game of Bob Stoops’ tenure.

81 Oklahoma has won 81 percent of its home games at Memorial Stadium. Since the facility’s opening in 1923, the Sooners are 355-78-15 at home.

Ou FOOTBALL FACILITIESPreparation Meets OpportunityIt 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.

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. KENNy ST I LLS

3 Jerry Schmidt has coached with teams that played in six national championship games. He has three national title rings from Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Florida.

5

38

Schmidt has worked with five Heisman winners, including Sam Bradford (Oklahoma), Jason White (Oklahoma), Danny Wuerffel (Florida), Barry Sanders (Oklahoma State) and Tim Brown (Notre Dame).

No. 38 for the Cincinnati Bengals and former Sooner standout, Roy Williams, donated $100,000 to establish a new weight room in Oklahoma’s Everest Training Facility.

52 During Schmidt’s tenure in Norman,52 Sooners have been selected in the NFL Draft including 12 first-round picks, not to mention three of the first four picks in 2010.

28 Schmidt has coached 28 NFL first-round picks including Sam Bradford, Gerald McCoy, Trent Williams and Jermaine Gresham all in the 2010 first round

SOONER POWERChampionship Strength & ConditioningThe best testimony for the impact Jerry Schmidt and his staff have on Oklahoma football players comes from former Oklahoma players -- thosein 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 athleticsdepartment has surrounded him with facilities that give Sooner student-athletes the best opportunity to excel.

COACH JERRy SCHMIDT

Why Oklahoma? Adrian Peterson, Minnesota vikings“One thing that stood out the most was the strength and conditioning staff. They’ve got Coach Jerry Schmidt. We call him Schmidtty. He’s a transforming guy. Coming to Oklahoma helped me reach my peak, physically and mentally.”

The Best in the Business“Jerry Schmidt is Oklahoma’s Director of Sports Enhancement. He worked under Tom Osborne atNebraska, Lou Holtz at Notre Dame and Steve Spurrier at Florida, where he became buddies with the Gators’ then-defensive coordinator, Bob Stoops.

“Schmidt made sure that Stoops’ players were big and fast. Insiders will tell you he’s probably the best in the business.

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

- Ted Miller, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 2005

ExPLOSIvE OFFENSEExPLOSIvE OFFENSEBig Names, Big ResultsPass 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.

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 detrimentof none.

Under Stoops, the Oklahoma offense, with its pro influence and varied formations, has produced:

QB Three All-Americans, four Heisman finalists, two Heisman Trophy winners and every OU record holder in the passing game department.

One Heisman finalist, one All-American, seven 1,000-yard rushers, Oklahoma’s single season rushing yards record holder and OU’s No. 3, No. 5 and No. 9 career rushers.

Three All-Americans, two Biletnikoff Award finalists and OU’s record holders in game, season and career receptions, receiving yards and touchdown receptions.

Two Mackey Award finalists, one All-American and Oklahoma’s record holder in touchdown receptions in a game.

Six All-Americans, one Outland Trophy winner and two Rimington Award finalists.

Ou Outscores College FootballEntering the 2008 season, Oklahoma needed 228 points to become the first ever program in college football history to eclipse 30,000 points.

The 2008 Sooners did that and then some with 716 points, the most ever scored by a major college football program. The total broke the previous record by a full 60 points as the Sooners scored an NCAA record 99 touchdowns. The team also became the first to score 60 or more points in five straight games.

Since Bob Stoops’ arrival, Oklahoma has collected a total of 5,363 points. That averages to 487.5 points per season and 37.73 per game.

Oklahoma has produced an All-Big 12 offensive lineman in each of the last 12 seasons.

DOMINATING DEFENSEDOMINATING DEFENSEAttacking Defense Built on SpeedOklahoma’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. OU has ranked among the top 16 teams in the nation in total defense for eight of the last 11 years.

Outstanding players have dominated the landscape. Twice in the last 11 years, a Sooner has been named the best defensive player in the nation.

FRANK ALExANDER 88773818135

Oklahoma has forced at least one turnover in 141 of 160 games (88 percent) over the last 12 seasons.

The Sooner defense has at least one interception in 105 of 136 games (77 percent) over the last 11 years.

Sooner defenders have scored 38 touchdowns, an average of more than three per year, since Bob Stoops took over at Oklahoma.

Since Bob Stoops arrived in 1999, the Oklahoma defense has surrendered an average of just 18 points per game.

The Oklahoma defense has registered 13 shutouts during Stoops’ tenure.

OU’s defense allowed less than 100 rushing yards per game in five of the last 10 seasons.

Oklahoma Defense under Stoops

Turnovers Equal Points with Sooner DAt Oklahoma, the offense’s ability to light up the scoreboard has long been intertwined with the defense’s knack for taking the ball away from opponents.

That notion was affirmed again in 2010. The Oklahoma ‘D’ forced 32 turnovers on the season. Of those 32, 11 were converted into TDs, including three by the defense.

Over the last three seasons, 95 takeaways have been converted into 49 touchdowns, better than 50 percent.

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.

HEAD COACH BOB STOOPSWinningest Active Coach in College FootballThe kind of admiration Bob Stoops has achieved is the best kind. It’s a by-product of the success his program has enjoyed and the manner in which he has conducted himself. Football observers from coast to coast have witnessed the renaissance authored by Stoops at Oklahoma and often proclaim the Sooner coach among the very best in the land. When Stoops arrived in Norman, OU had fallen on brief and uncharacteristic hard times. He has returned Oklahoma football to its rightful place among the elite, and there is no denying that he is the person most responsible for the turnaround. The pride has been restored and a nation has noticed.

Winningest active coaches with at least 10 years as head coach:

HEAD COACH BOB STOOPS

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

During Stoops’ tenure in Norman, 52 Sooners have been selected in the NFL Draft, including 12 first-round picks, including three of the first four picks in 2010.

Oklahoma has played in bowl games in all 12 seasons under Stoops. Eight of the 12 have been BCS bowls and four have been National Championship games.

1 The Sooners have spent 24 weeks ranked No. 1 under Coach Stoops. OU leads all programs in college football history for most weeks (97) ranked No. 1.

32 Stoops has produced 32 All-Americans in his 12 seasons in Norman including 19 consensus selections. OU had a record seven All-Americans in 2003 and five in 2004.

COACH STOOPS

Why Oklahoma? Malcolm Kelly, Washington Redskins“I put Coach Stoops above everything else. He is very down to earth. He never acts like he is above everybody else or better than the next guy. All of the coaches here are great. This is home away from home, a family away from my family.”

Bob Stoops: The only active coach to have multiple Heisman Trophy winners.

Ou COACHING STAFF170 Cumulative years of ExperienceIn Bob Stoops’ 12 seasons at the University of Oklahoma, six of his assistant coaches have gone on to become head coaches at other I-A programs. It’s not hard to gauge the quality of the Sooner staff or Stoops’ ability to hire good people.

The beneficiaries are Oklahoma’s players. In record numbers they have been honored and drafted into the professional ranks. And that has been true regardless of what position they play.

Identifying and recruiting talent, coaching talent to play at its peak and preparing players for life after college, whether it be in football or in the business world, nobody does it better than Oklahoma.

ACADEMIC SuCCESSPreparing Leaders for TomorrowThe recent Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium expansion and improvement included remodeled office space in the facility’s north end. The largest piece of that project was the Prentice Gautt Academic Center. Some 35,000 square feet are dedicated to the academic pursuits of Sooner student-athletes.

Indeed, there is considerable emphasis on classroom performance at OU. The center staff has achievement as its focus, a fact that is reflected in a graduation rate that exceeds that of the general student body. In addition to its academic work, the staff assists in several life skills areas designed to enrich students in a broad range of tasks.

The Legacy of Prentice GauttThe OU Academics Center that today’s student-athletes use everyday now bears the name of the man who left an indelible legacy for Sooner Athletics and helped change a society in the process.

“It is appropriate that this center be named after Prentice Gautt,” University of Oklahoma President David L. Boren said. “His personal values and character, along with his leadership as associate commissioner of the Big 12 Conference, continue to bring pride to his alma mater.

“His personal example of quiet courage, grace under pressure, and dedication to the university helped open the doors of opportunity for countless number of African-American and minority student-athletes who have followed him into collegiate athletics.”

BRIAN LEPAK

PRENT ICE GAuTT

Sooners Tops Both On and Off Field Recent numbers from the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) show that the Oklahoma football program is a prime example of accomplishing excellence not only on the field, but off the field as well.

Oklahoma led all Big 12 Conference institutions for three consecutive years in the academic ranking that is used as a real-time assessment on how student-athletes perform in regards to eligibility, retention and graduation.

In 2008, along with leading the Oklahoma offense to the NCAA record for most points scored in a single season, quarterback Sam Bradford and running back DeMarco Murray were named ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans. Brian Lepak became the third Sooner in as many years to garner the honor when he was named to the team in 2010.

Lepak, a finance major, was eligible for the Academic All-America team as a student-athlete who was a varsity starter or key reserve, maintained a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00 and had reached sophomore athletic and academic standings.

Lepak was one of 16 student-athletes from the Oklahoma football program to be named Academic-All Big 12, including eight with first team honors.

SOONERS IN THE COMMuNITySOONERS IN THE COMMuNITy

Sooners Take an Active RoleOU lives by a clear and strong motto as it interacts with its student-athletes … Inspiring Champions for Today, Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow. As part of that promise, the Athletics Department and the football program take an active role in a number of community service projects.

Individually, football players serve with numerous groups. Two of their largest projects include a free football clinic for underprivileged youth and the distribution of food that is donated by Oklahoma fans at a designated home game.

Each year on the morning of the spring football game, the Sooners provide a complimentary football clinic for a select group of youth from throughout the central Oklahoma region.

The team also plays an active role in a food drive that takes place near the Thanksgiving holiday. OU fans donate food at a game and players help in the distribution the following Monday.

Oklahoma’s student-athletes recognize that wearing the Crimson and Cream means representing a popular sports program and themselves as individuals. They are encouraged to respond to a public that adores them, while learning important lessons about making a positive impact in the lives of others in and around the community in which they live.

Oklahoma’s student-athletes are as visible off the field as they are when competing for the Sooners. Their significant efforts in the area of community service have been recognized not only on the local scene where they have the most impact, but also from national organizations who recognize the scope of OU’s outreach.

No player embodied the Sooner spirit better than Quinton Carter who was named the recipient of the seventh annual Wooden Citizenship Cup. The award is presented annually by the Atlanta-based Athletes For a Better World.

The award honored Carter who started his own foundation, the SOUL Foundation, while at OU. The Las Vegas native also adopted a class at Norman’s KinderCare while volunteering for a multitude of other causes.

In four of the last five years, players from Oklahoma’s football team have been named to the American Football Coaches Association’s Good Works Team, an honor reserved for individuals who excel in their service to others. Jacob Gutierrez was named to the team in 2006, Nic Harris in 2007, Gerald McCoy in 2008 and Carter in 2010.

Gutierrez, who in 2005 was the recipient of the Norman Youth Citizen Volunteer of the year, also was named a finalist for the Wooden Cup. Then, in 2006, Carl Pendleton also was tabbed a finalist for the honor.

Subsequently, Pendleton received post-graduate scholarships from the NCAA and the National Football Foundation, while also being named Big 12 Conference Sportsman of the Year. In addition, Pendleton won the Bobby Bowden Award, the highest student-athlete honor presented by the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. Oklahoma’s roster has long included players who understand what it means to bea role model and those individuals have so involved themselves in the community that it has captured the national spotlight.

Norman - Home of the SoonersNorman is an ever-changing city of more than 110,000 residents. Located in the heart of the state, it has grown to become the third largest city in Oklahoma. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small, close-knit community.

Since the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889, Norman has grown into a popular and well-educated city. The spirit of Norman and its citizens is unwavering and uncompromising. While other towns were clamoring to become the state capital, Norman residents wanted to have the first state university. When the first OU president got off the train and saw a prairie, he saw opportunity.

As home to the state’s premier educational institution, Norman boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives on and celebrates the diversity of its community. Legendary University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer called Norman “a university town with a championship spirit.”

Norman continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events.

With the entire city seemingly coming to a halt on gamedays, it was no suprise that Norman was named the No. 3 Best College Sports Town by Forbes.

3Norman was ranked third nationally in Bloomberg’s Business Week Best Places to Live list. The University, entertainment, world-class museums and affordability were all reasons listed for the high ranking

Located just 18 miles north of Norman, the state’s capital, Oklahoma City, offers all the trappings of a large metropolitan area within an easy drive.

The average annual temperature in Norman. The area enjoys a temperate climate with mild winters. Four distinct seasons with a warm spring and fall.

Norman boasts more than 175 restaurants including barbecue, Mexican, Oriental, Greek, Indian, Italian, Thai, seafood, health and natural foods.

Oklahoma CityOklahoma City, the state’s capital, is located just 18 miles north of the Norman campus. It was the first city settled in the Land Run of 1889 because of its position at the center of the state.

Oklahoma City offers a variety of attractions and activities different from any other place in the country. Oklahoma City sprawls across 625 square miles of America’s heartland. The city’s metro population numbers more than one million -- a third of the entire state’s population.

Oklahoma City has become a haven for exciting sports action. It’s NBA franchise, the Thunder, played in the NBA Western Conference Finals in just its third season. The city is also home to three minor league teams and is the host of the NCAA College Softball World Series.

Located just southeast of downtown, Bricktown is OKC’s entertainment and dining district. Restaurants with a total capacity of more than 4,000 seats, shopping, and a generous helping of turn-of-the-century charm has turned Bricktown into a hotspot for Oklahoma City nights.

BIG 12 CONFERENCEProminence on a National StageOne. True. Champion. The Big 12 enters its 16th year in a unique position – as the only major conference in the nation to determine its champions in all sports directly on the field. 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 SOONERSMedia CredentialsRequests 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.

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:

PressBox:Primary recipients are newspaper writers, television reporters and radio personnel. This pass gains access to the press box. Sideline access is only permitted for the last five minutes of the game.

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).

Combination:These are only for those individuals who require access to the press box and the sideline. Few are issued.

SeasonCredentialsRequests should be made at SoonerSportsMedia.com by August13. Only those media who routinely cover OU games, practices and media conferences are eligible for season credentials.

Any media member who loses a season credential will automatically be moved to the single-game list for the following season. Media outlets who cannot provide names for passes for an entire season will be placed on the single-game list and should provide names on a weekly basis.

Single-GameCredentialsRequests 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.

OU-TexasCredentialsThose interested in covering the annual Oklahoma-Texas game at Dallas will need to make a separate request for credentials. Each school handles the requests from its regular pool of media. Aside from national media, only season credential holders are eligible.

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).

CredentialPickup(OUHomeGames)Credentials may be picked up from the Oklahoma Athletics Communications office during the week or from media will call (Gate 2) at Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on game day beginning three hours before kickoff (see map on page 55). Photo identification is required for pickup. Each media representative must claim his or her pass. No group pickups are allowed.

Credential RequestsCredential 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.

Oklahoma Memorial StadiumGaylord 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 expansion in 2004, now ranks among the 15 largest college football stadiums in the nation.

With the expansion of Oklahoma Memorial Stadium to an official capacity of 82,112 and with every home game exceeding that capacity, Oklahoma set numerous attendance records the past two years. In fact, the 10 largest crowds in Memorial Stadium history have occured in the past few seasons.

Oklahoma’s average attendance in 2010 for six home games was 84,738. OU ranked third in the Big 12 Conference and No. 12 in the nation in average attendance. Oklahoma ranked No. 5 in the nation in percent of stadium capacity filled for home games at 103 percent. The largest crowd ever to watch a game in the history of the state of Oklahoma jammed Memorial Stadium on November 22, 2008. The Sooners stormed past rival Texas Tech, 65-21, in front of 85,646 fans.

OU has compiled a 72-2 record at home (.973) under head coach Bob Stoops (1999-2010). Not coincidentally, those 12 seasons all rank at the top of the list for average home attendance.

2011 SEASON OUTLOOKSooners in Familiar RoleAt 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 OffenseWhen 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.

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 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.

Otherwise, much of the offense, including six who drew starting assignments on the line, return.

QUARTERBACKSThere 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.

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.

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.

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. RUNNING BACKSDeMarco 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Millard is backed up by Marshall Musil and David Driskill among others.

RECEIVERSRyan 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.

Others who look to crack the line-up are sophomore and Jaz Reynolds, redshirt freshmen Justin McCay and Sheldon McClain.

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.

OFFENSIVE LINESix 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The DefenseOver 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.

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.

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.

DEFENSIVE LINEBeal 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. Redshirt-freshman Torrea Peterson will get a look too.

LINEBACKERSFour 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.

Those behind Lewis with significant playing time are Corey Nelson and Jaydan Bird, both of whom have made their mark on Sooner special teams.

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.

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.

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 Special TeamsThe 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.

KICKERJimmy 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.

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.

PUNTERTress 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.

RETURNERSBroyles 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.

DEEP SNAPPERJames 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.

HOLDEROklahoma 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.

OPPONENT INFORMATIONOklahoma 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.

2011 SIGNING CLASSSeventeen 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.” Three each of the signees are tight ends and defensive tackles. The Sooners added two each along the offensive line, at linebacker, wide receiver, and running back. 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.

2010 SEASON REVIEW

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.

31NORMAN, 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.

47NORMAN, 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.

2010 SEASON REVIEW

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.

29DALLAS, 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.

28NORMAN, Okla. -- The records fell in bunches as Oklahoma domi-nated 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.

2010 SEASON REVIEW

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.

36NORMAN, 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.

43COLLEGE 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.

2010 SEASON REVIEW

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 touch-down 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 de-fensive back since Brandon Everage’s 19 against Colorado in 2002, and Travis Lewis and Jonathan Nelson both recorded interceptions.

45WACO, 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.

2010 SEASON REVIEW

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 career-high 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.

20GLENDALE, 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 competi-tion and it snapped a five-game losing streak in BCS games.

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 .”

OU . athletic . teams .were . called . either .Rough .Riders . or . Boomers . for . 10 .years . before . the . current . Sooner . nickname . emerged . in . 1908 . . The . uni-versity . 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 . .
