Welcome From Head Coach Bob StoopsOklahoma football. Among all the great names in sports, Oklahoma football stands proudly.

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 hunger 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.

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.

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 BIOSWhen a team has 27 starters returning, it’s safe to say it has its fair share of top-notch talent stockpiled. A quick look at the preseason honors list confirms that. With a senior class that has only played in BCS bowl games and owns three Big 12 titles, the current group of Sooners knows what it takes to reach the pinnacle of the sport.

126SEASON REvIEWThose who update record books were kept busy last year, on both the program and NCAA levels, as Oklahoma compiled the most points ever in a season, 716. The explosive offense coupled with a daunting defense was the recipe for a third straight Big 12 Championship and a trip to the Fed Ex BCS National Championship.

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 2009 season will mark the 115th 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 (547) than any other school and the best winning percentage (.765). Victories 1946-2008:

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.

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 nine seasons, owns six 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.

85 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 85 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 has driven ratings since the program’s first televised game in 1952. In all, the Sooners have played 277 games on TV.

This is the center of the college football world and the television cameras are never far away.

Stoops Era Attendance Exceeds Four MillionSince Bob Stoops became the head coach in 1999, Oklahoma has drawn 4,584,109 fans to Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Never has Sooner football been more popular with its rabid following.

Stoops’ winning ways, which have yielded 60 victories in 62 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 36 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 nine 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

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 41. 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 six league crowns in 10 years. That feat merits considerable respect. Under the 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.

42 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Six 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 won more than two and six of the league members are yet to win their first. The most recent of OU’s six came in 2008 when the Sooners handled Big 12 North champion Missouri, 62-21, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The Sooners’ other Big 12 crowns came in 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 67

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.

Eighteen Winners in Last Nine 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. Five Sooners were tabbed in the 2009 NFL Draft alone, giving Bob Stoops a total of 41 of his former Sooners drafted into the league.

OU plays pro schemes, has two coaches who had lengthy NFL careersand 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.”-Gil Brandt NFL.com; Former Director of Player Personnel, Dallas Cowboys

“Playing at Oklahoma really prepared me to play in the NFL and to be versatile because in this league you have to be able to block, catch, run and block some more. Coming from Oklahoma, you realize that the world is yours and that you can accomplish anything.”- J.D. Runnels Fullback, Chicago Bears

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 2008, all 14 Oklahoma games appeared on live television, including nine 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.

24 BOWL CHAMPIONSHIPSForty-two bowl appearances and 24 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 nine seasons, the Sooners have played for the national championship, seven times they have been in BCS bowls and in eight 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 10 of his Oklahoma teams to bowl games during his tenure in Norman. Of the 10 games, four were National Championship bouts, seven were BCS bowl games and eight 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.

Ou-TExAS WEEKENDGOLDEN HAT TROPHy

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.”

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 in college football 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. Game day here represents football and a whole lot more.

Ou FOOTBALL FACILITIESPreparation Meets OpportunityIt would be hard to imagine a football program doing more over the last six 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. MOSSIS MADu

RENDERING OF NEW OKLAHOMA LOCKER ROOM

4 Four regulation-size practice fields are available to the Sooners right outside their locker room: Owen Field, two grass fields plus an artificial turf field with sand pit.

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.

41 During Schmidt’s tenure in Norman, 41 Sooners have been selected in the NFL Draft including eight first-round picks, 2007 NFL Rookie of the Year, Adrian Peterson, the latest.

24 Schmidt has coached 24 NFL first-round picks including OU’s Adrian Peterson, Davin Joseph, Jammal Brown, Mark Clayton, Tommie Harris, Andre Woolfolk and Roy Williams.

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 11th 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.

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.The Sooners have played for three national titles since 2000.

“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.”

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.

Run oriented? Maybe. After all, the single season rushing mark was set in 2004. Pass oriented? The single season passing mark was set in 2008. Well, which is it, passing or running?

At Oklahoma, the answer is both. While most schools dream of balance, OU is balance. In 2008, the Sooners passed for the school record 4,891 yards while rushing for 2,779 yards.

And that balance creates opportunity for some of the best-known names in all of college football. It is common to see the ball in the hands of 10-15 players during a game. Many stay involved to the detrimentof none.

Under Coach Bob 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 and No. 5 career rushers.

Two All-Americans, one Biletnikoff Award finalist 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.

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

Ou Outscores College FootballEntering last 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 4,959 points. That averages to 495.9 points per season and 37.29 per game.

DOMINATING DEFENSEDOMINATING DEFENSEAttacking Defense Built on SpeedOklahoma’s defense suffers from a bit of an identity crisis.

With a takeaway in 118 of Bob Stoops’ 133 games and 32 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 seven of the last nine years.

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

TRAvIS LEWIS 8990321894

Oklahoma has forced at least one turnover in 118 of 133 games (89 percent) over the last 10 seasons.

The Sooner defense has at least one interception in 90 of 121 games (74 percent) over the last nine years.

Sooner defenders have scored 32 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 nine shutouts under Stoops.

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

No season was that illustrated more than in 2008. The Oklahoma D forced 34 turnovers on the season. Of those 34, 22 were converted into TDs, two by the defense.

Taking advantage of the momentum seized by the defense, OU’s offense wasted no time in reaching paydirt with an average scoring drive of 4 plays, 37 yards and 1:38 following each turnover.

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, 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

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.”

Ou COACHING STAFF176 Cumulative years of ExperienceIn Bob Stoops’ 10 seasons at the University of Oklahoma, five 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.

Top Assistants in the NationThe pinnacle for assistant coaching awards, the Frank Broyles Award is given each season to the nation’s top assistant.

Three times Kevin Wilson and Brent Venables have been finalists for the award. With Wilson calling the shots for the highest-scoring offense in the history of collegiate football, it was no surprise when the offensive coordinator brought home the honor in 2008.

Also a finalist in 2000, Wilson joins Venables, a finalist in 2006 after leading the Big 12’s top defense, as of the nation’s top developers of talent.

Besides his coaching ability, Wilson has also been honored for his professionalism as he was named the recipient of the 2007 National Football Foundation of Oklahoma Merv Johnson Award for Coaching with Integrity.

If you want to expand past awards, take a look at the career winning percentages by coordinators in the Big 12 South.

Venables leads the way with an .823 career winning percentage (140-30) while Wilson is third at .721 (151-57-5).

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.”

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 in the 2008 academic ranking that is used as a real-time assesment on how student-athletes perform in regards to eligbility, retention and graduation.

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 helped lead the program to the Big 12’s best APR as the backfield duo was named ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans.

Bradford, a finance major, and Murray, a communications major, were eligible for the Academic All-America team as student-athletes who were 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.

Bradford and Murray were two of 14 student-athletes from the Oklahoma football program to be named Academic-All Big 12, including 10 with first team honors.

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 sources who recognize the scope of OU’s outreach.

In each of the last three 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.

Running back Jacob Gutierrez was named to the team in 2006, then safety Nic Harris made the squad in 2007 followed by Gerald McCoy in 2008.

Gutierrez, who in 2005 was the recipient of the Norman Youth Citizen Volunteer of the year, also was named a finalist for the John Wooden Citizenship Cup, a national award presented annually by the Atlanta-based Athletes for a Better World. Then, in 2006, Sooner defensive tackle 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.

As a group, OU’s football players also host a Partners in Youth Camp prior to the annual spring football game, participate in local reading programs through the Norman public schools and make numerous visits to area hospitals. 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 100,000 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.

The Oklahoma City metropolitan area has a population of more than one million people. OKC is the largest city in the state and the 29th largest city in the nation.

6Norman was ranked sixth nationally in CNN Money’s 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 recently was awarded the NBA’s Thunder franchise, is home to three minor league teams and is the host of the NCAA College Softball World Series.

Located just southeast of downtown, Bricktown is Oklahoma City’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.

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:

Press Box: 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.

Season CredentialsRequests should be made at SoonerSportsMedia.com by August 14. 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-Game CredentialsRequests 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-Texas Credentials Those 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). No credentials will be mailed, but outlets willing to provide an overnight account number no later than Wednesday of game week may receive them in that manner.

Credential Pickup (OU Home Games)Credentials may be picked up from the media relations 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).

Parking PassesParking passes are in a limited supply and will be prioritized similar to the way credentials are issued. Most media parking is located in the Asp Ave. Parking Facility, located immediately west of the stadium, one half block north of the intersection at Lindsey and Asp (see map on page 55).

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 Media Relations Office will be on hand to assist the media in finding this area.

2009 SEASON OUTLOOKSigning Day Times TwoThe calendar read January, yet the moment felt so much like February that the question made perfect sense.

Bob Stoops had just announced that Sam Bradford, Jermaine Gresham, Gerald McCoy and Trent Williams were bypassing the NFL Draft to remain in school when a reporter asked, “Bob, have you ever had a better signing day than this?”

The Oklahoma coach smiled at the irony of the question, looked at the ceiling and said, “No, I guess not.”

No indeed. Rare are the days, whether they come during February’s national signing period or not, when a coach knowingly retains the services of a Heisman Trophy winner, three All-Americans and four All-Big 12 players.

But more than playing accolades, Stoops knew that the group of four also represented a pair of team captains (Bradford and McCoy) and the cornerstone on which a team can be built.

Now the Sooners look toward 2009 with a good chunk of its Big 12 Championship and BCS title game team still intact. New faces will be introduced along the offensive line, at wide receiver and in the secondary, but those are manageable holes, the kind often opened by graduation. That turnover was anticipated and recruiting and playing time were allocated in such a way as to mitigate them.

At all of those positions, younger players are poised to step forward.

The stage is set then for Oklahoma, the only program to win back-to-back Big 12 crowns, to shoot for an amazing fourth in a row while also battling for its fifth BCS Championship Game appearance in Stoops’ 11 seasons.

The OffenseFor the glass-half-empty folks, the talk with focus on the offensive line and wide receiver, and even the negative Nellies can be forgiven for such musings.

With four starters gone from the line and two at receiver, they are positions worth watching.

Still, the glass-half-full crowd will point to the likes of Bradford, Chris Brown, Ryan Broyles, Matt Clapp, Gresham, Williams and a bevy of running backs and wonder why anyone would worry.

The 2008 offense was arguably the most potent in the history of college football and it would be hard to expect that standard early in the season. Still, there is a reasonable expectation that those who return can play at an even higher level and that those who will assume more prominent roles are gifted enough to put up another set of big numbers.

QUARTERBACKSSam Bradford returns as one of the most accurate quarterbacks ever to play the college game. He’ll spend the off-season honing his ability to read defenses while also looking to add strength and weight. Otherwise, the Sooners will focus on Bradford’s backups.

Gone is Joey Halzle, who was in that role for the last two seasons, but back is Landry Jones, who redshirted last season. Jones’ attributes aren’t totally unlike those of Bradford and coaches will look to get him snaps as opportunities present themselves.

The only other scholarship quarterback on the roster will be true freshman Drew Allen, who enrolled at OU in January. RUNNING BACKSBringing back one 1,000-yard rusher is nice. Bringing back two is unheard of, but that is precisely the situation at Oklahoma.

DeMarco Murray spent most of the season as the team’s top rusher, but was injured on the opening kickoff of the Big 12 Championship game and did not play again. He finished with 1,002 rushing yards, but was eclipsed over those final two games by Chris Brown, who ended the season at 1,220.

The return of those two alone would be enough to keep most coaching staffs happy, but Oklahoma also returns its No. 3 rusher from a year ago in Mossis Madu, who piled up 475 yards and six touchdowns.

The trio will be joined by redshirt freshman Jermie Calhoun and true freshman Jonathan Miller.

The fullback position is strong with Matt Clapp and Brody Eldridge, both of whom have been All-Big 12. Marshall Musil, a player similar in style and stature, is a true freshman with promise.

RECEIVERSOklahoma lost a couple of fixtures in Juaquin Iglesias and Manuel Johnson, who, by catches, finished No. 2 and No. 9, respectively, in career receptions at OU. That means the Sooners will look to new faces at the outside positions. Candidates include juniors Brandon Caleb and Adron Tennell and sophomores Dejuan Miller and Jameel Owens. The latter two were part of a decorated receiver recruiting class in 2008.

In the slot, elusive Ryan Broyles returns. It is not out of the question that Broyles could move to the outside. The coaching staff has indicated that Madu will see time in the slot as well after a sucessful spring at the position.

Newcomers at receiver include junior college transfer Cameron Kenney and high school product Jaz Reynolds.

The tight end position is in capable hands with Jermaine Gresham, the pre-season favorite for the Mackey Award, Brody Eldridge, junior Erik Mensik and sophomores Trent Ratterree and James Hanna. Incoming freshman Gabe Ikard joins the team in the fall.

OFFENSIVE LINEWith four starters, all of whom were invited to the NFL Combine, gone, there will be an overhaul across Oklahoma’s offensive line.

The cornerstone is tackle Trent Williams. An All-Big 12 player at right tackle last season, he will move to the left side for the 2009 season. He was considered by some the top performer on last year’s offensive line. Look for Donald Stephenson and newcomer Jeff Vinson to compete at that position.

At Williams’ vacated tackle spot, Cory Brandon has the early edge at the starting spot with LSU transfer Jarvis Jones providing backup.

At left guard, OU is looking to replace two-time All-American Duke Robinson. Brian Simmons, who made two starts last season while recording a bevy of playing time, should be capable at the spot. The coaches hold Simmons in very high regard and view him as a returning starter in some ways due to his immense amount of playing time.

The right guard spot could wind up in good hands, literally. Stephen Good played sparingly last season as a true freshman and has been projected as a bright prospect since the day he signed.

First-year Sooners will be counted on to step in and provide depth at the guard position right away as junior college product Tavaris Jeffries and freshmen Tyler Evans and Josh Aladenoye will be counted on in the two deep.

The center position presents another opportunity. The Sooners are faced with the prospect of replacing four-year starter Jon Cooper. There is no way the team can match that kind of experience, but freshman Ben Habern is a bright prospect. Colorado State transfer Brian Lepak brings smarts and depth to the position as well.

There is no disputing the quality and experience that the Sooners lost from their offensive line. Those players were part of two, and in some cases, three Big 12 Championships. The mitigating factor is the quality of what remains to step forward. The coaching staff likes the current cast and the opportunity for another bumper season.

The DefenseWith the introduction of several new starters and injuries to key players, it would be safe to acknowledge that 2008 had its share of growing pains on the defensive side of the ball. Likewise, it’s impossible to deny the improvement.

By the time the season ended, the unit had rounded into one of team’s strengths, so much so that the defense is one of the reasons Oklahoma is again forecasted as a top five team for the 2009 campaign.

Replacements must be found for departed safeties Nic Harris and Lendy Holmes, but otherwise the group returns largely intact. The headliners include All-American tackle Gerald McCoy, 2008 Big 12 Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Auston English and record-setting linebacker Travis Lewis, who broke Brian Bosworth’s OU freshman record for tackles while claiming a team-high four interceptions.

Oklahoma’s defense is fast and opportunistic. It’s also much deeper than it was at this time last season.

DEFENSIVE LINEAn injury to English wound up a blessing in disguise when it forced Oklahoma to get Frank Alexander to the field quicker and more frequently than had been anticipated.

Alexander was more than up to the task and now returns for his sophomore season pushing to maintain a starting job. English is back too, along with two-year starter Jeremy Beal to make this a well-stocked position in both experience and talent.

Others to watch are David King and R.J. Washington, who redshirted last season.

The signing class also was replete with ends including Jarrett Brown and Justin Chaisson.

There is an expectation that Oklahoma will be capable of exerting considerable pressure off the edge. Of course, the same may be true up the middle with a talented corps of defensive tackles. The ring leader is All-American McCoy, who will be a leading contender for both the Lombardi Award and the Outland Trophy.

His running mate last season, Adrian Taylor, also returns. From there, the tackle positions are less certain. Cory Bennett graduated and DeMarcus Granger had back surgery, so half of the four-man rotation is either gone or somewhat questionable.

Cordero Moore got snaps at tackle last season and he returns along with redshirt freshmen Stacy McGee and Casey Walker.

The incoming freshman class includes an outstanding prospect in Jemarkus McFarland.

Oklahoma has been rock solid at the defensive tackle position for some time and there is no indication of anything less in ‘09. The same can really be said for the entire defensive front.

LINEBACKERSInjuries forced OU to go deep into a thin linebacker corps last season.

The return of seven players along with a stellar signing class, helps to address the situation. The Sooners will still feature young depth and will be looking to sign another strong class when much of this group departs after the ‘09 season.

Still, the immediate prospects are much improved.

Ryan Reynolds and Austin Box are both returning from season-ending injuries, but figure to be full-go by the time the season kicks off. Reynolds and senior Mike Balogun are likely to hold down the middle, while Box is a probable on either the strong or weak side.

On the strong side, Keenan Clayton is the returning starter. The former safety proved a valuable commodity as he worked in a nickel role in passing situations. He’ll be pushed by J.R. Bryant.

DOMINIQUE FRANKS

On the weak side, All-America candidate Lewis is back after an outstanding freshman season.Others to watch include junior Brandon Crow and freshmen Daniel Franklin, Jaydan Bird, Gus Jones, Ronnell Lewis and Tom Wort.

DEFENSIVE BACKSBoth OU corners were new to full-time starting roles in 2008, but they performed remarkably well and now set up the Sooner defense to be strong on the outside in ‘09.

Dominique Franks returns at field corner with Brian Jackson working the boundary. Players like Jamell Fleming, Jonathan Nelson and Lamar Harris will look to challenge for playing time.

Both safeties, Nic Harris and Lendy Holmes, exhausted their eligibility last season so the Sooners will have new faces on the back end.

Quinton Carter played extensively and is a likely candidate at one of the spots with Sam Proctor at the other.

Those providing depth at the safety spots include true freshman Javon Harris, redshirt freshman Joseph Ibiloye, Desmond Jackson and Emmanuel Jones.

The class of incoming defensive backs is strong enough that several of those players may find their way onto the field. The list includes safeties Kevin Brent and Harris and corners Gabe Lynn, Marcus Trice and Demontre Hurst, the latter of who may also work at safety.

The physical maturity and overall skill of the newcomers lend themselves to a quick adjustment period.

The Special TeamsFor the most part, the special teams will have a familiar look with a number of returning players counted among the ranks. That does not mean, however, that there will not be substantial competition for playing time.

KICKERJimmy Stevens handled the placements last season and returns in 2009, but will be pushed by redshirt freshman Tress Way and freshman walk-on Bryce Easley.

Another who could enter the fray is Cameron Kenney, the junior college transfer wide receiver. He also is likely to be considered at punter.

PUNTERMike Knall wrapped up his second and final full year as the team’s punter last season so the job is open. Way, Easley and Kenney will be among those trying to secure this spot.

RETURNERSWith the end of Juaquin Iglesias’ career so ends the exploits of one of the school’s great returners. He finished with more kickoff return yards than anyone in OU history.

Still, there are a number of very qualified returners. DeMarco Murray has proved dynamic in the role and Chris Brown has been used some, too. It’s safe to assume that other candidates will be reviewed as well, and if history serves as a guide, Oklahoma will have a fast and elusive tandem doing the work.

At punt returner, Ryan Broyles and Dominique Franks, who combined for 30 of the Sooners’ 32 punt returns last season, are back. Broyles will likely get the bulk of the assignment.

DEEP SNAPPERThree players handled the duties last year and all three are back. Derek Shaw is the most experienced, but Ben Hampton, who has been used primarily on placements, and James Winchester also have experience.

HOLDERCarter Whitson returns after filling the role admirably last season. The wide receiver was sure-handed and remains athletic enough to provide options.

BOB STOOPS HEAD COACH | 11TH SEASON | 109-24 (.820) RECORD AT OKLAHOMA

History is one tough customer at Oklahoma. The tradition, so rich and so long-standing, is as daunting as it is impressive. To be among the best at Oklahoma is to be among the best in college football... Such dramatics are lost on Bob Stoops. The Sooner head coach befriended the would-be albatross of OU’s successful past from his first day on campus and remains steadfastly focused on tomorrow and the championship it holds. It falls then to long-time observers and experts of the game to define Stoops’ impact. Rarely have the pundits had it so easy.

That was true again in 2008. Stoops became the first coach in Big 12 history to capture three straight conference titles (after becoming the first to win two in a row in 2007) and was one of several teams, in a year of parity, to contend for the national title.

It was the highest scoring team in the modern era of college football with more than 700 points and, despite the full or part-time loss of key starters on the defensive unit, still managed to rank among the top three in nearly every Big 12 category on that side of the ball.

That potent offense yielded Stoops’ fifth Heisman Trophy finalist and second winner, quarterback Sam Bradford.

Also during the ‘08 campaign, Stoops reached 100 wins for his career, and did so faster than any coach since before 1905.

In 10 seasons under Stoops, OU has won 109 games; the 2000 national championship; spent 140 weeks in the national rankings; played in 10 bowl games, seven of the BCS variety; taken part in four national championship games and captured six Big 12 crowns.

On a playing field leveled by scholarship limits and parity, this era stares down the Oklahoma standard and does not blink. The brilliance dulls the memory of what Stoops inherited. When he arrived in Norman, the proud Sooner program was five years removed from a winning record, four from a postseason appearance. Those atypical days of angst are so forgotten now that they might as well be mentioned with the Land Rush and Dust Bowl. Stoops has been characterized as a grounded family man, big-game coach, relentless recruiter, strong leader and a person with uncommon perspective.

His success emanates from a disciplined style true to his roots in the Steel Valley of Ohio, but he is far from inflexible. The principles to which he holds are the tried and true axioms of the sport … mixed with cutting-edge strategy and an appreciation for the calculated risk.

During his time, OU has produced record-setting passers and receivers, seven 1,000-yard rushers, suffocating defense and special teams units that rank among the most dynamic in the land. The Sooners have been nothing if not versatile.

The son of a coach, Stoops was a four-year starter at Iowa. He began his coaching career in 1983 as a volunteer in the Hawkeye program under Hayden Fry, working through the ranks until he became co-defensive coordinator at Kansas State (1991-95). There he played a key role in one of the most impressive turnarounds in college football history while serving on Bill Snyder’s staff.

Eventually, he left for Florida and a three-year stint as Steve Spurrier’s defensive coordinator. In 1996, he was part of a national championship team. It was with the Gators that the spotlight found Stoops and made him one of the hottest names in the profession. His hiring at Oklahoma was one for the ages.

Coaching Accomplishments• Stoops is 109-24 overall, 72-14 vs. the Big 12, 39-10 vs. the Big 12 South, 33-4 vs. the Big 12 North, 6-1 in the Big 12 title game, 37-10 vs. non-conference opponents, 60-2 at home, 32-11 on the road, 17-11 on neutral fields, 33-12 vs. ranked opponents, 4-6 in bowls, 3-5 in January bowls and 2-5 in BCS games.

• OU has set or tied more than 180 school records under Stoops, not including bowl bests and marks specific to a particular position (i.e., receptions by a running back). Among those marks under Stoops are passing for a game, season and career; receiving for a game, season and career; and rushing for a season.

HEAD COACHTHE STOOPS FAMILY

• Stoops has authored two of the seven longest winning streaks in Oklahoma history. His 2000 and 2001 teams won 20 straight, while the 2002 and 2003 teams reeled off 14 in a row. Those victories all came against I-A opponents.

• Oklahoma owns the nation’s longest home field winning streak at 24. That’s the second longest streak in school history, just one behind 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 six Big 12 South crowns and six Big 12 titles. Oklahoma has spent 24 weeks at No. 1.

• OU has held a double-digit lead in 112 of Stoops’ 133 games.

• Oklahoma has played in 10 bowl games. 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).

• An OU player has 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).

• Under Stoops, OU has produced 29 All-Americans; two AP Players of the Year (Heupel, White); two Nagurski Award winners (Williams, Derrick Strait); two Thorpe Award winners (Williams, Strait); two Butkus Award winners (Rocky Calmus, Teddy Lehman); one Bednarik Award winner (Lehman); one Lombardi Award winner (Tommie Harris); one Walter Camp winner (Heupel); three O’Brien Award winners (Sam Bradford and White twice); a Maxwell Award winner (White); a Unitas Award winner (White); an Outland Trophy winner (Jammal Brown) and one Mosi Tatupu Award winner (J.T. Thatcher).

• OU has had a Butkus finalist in four of the last eight years and a Lombardi finalist in three of the last six. The Sooners also have had finalists for the Biletnikoff, Groza, Guy, Hendricks, Mackey and Doak Walker awards.

• In 1996 and 1997, his Florida defense scored eight touchdowns. The 1996 Gators won the national championship.

• During his final four seasons in Manhattan, Kansas State posted a 35-12 record and played in three bowl games.

Coaching Accomplishments• The 2008 season started out looking like a dream defensive end lineup. OU had the 2008 Big 12 Preseason Defensive Player of the Year in Auston English on one end and sophomore phenom Jeremy Beal at the other end. Three games into the season English was out with an injury, freshman Frank Alexander stepped in and the Sooner ends remained effective. Beal went on to achieve All-Big 12 honors as he led the defense in sacks (8.5) and tackles for a loss (15.5).

• Helped the OU defense to a conference-leading 32 sacks in 2007, 15 of which came from his ends. Sophomore DE Auston English ranked No. 15 nationally in sacks, despite missing three games en route to being named first team All-Big 12. His unit also forced four fumbles on the year.

• His 2006 ends logged 25.5 tackles for loss, including 10 sacks. They also knocked down seven passes.

• With his top returning starter (Larry Birdine) lost in August and one of his budding stars (John Williams) sidelined in the opener by injuries, he still coached the defensive ends to a brilliant season in 2005 at Oklahoma. C.J. Ah You was named Big 12 Defensive Newcomer of the Year and MVP of the Holiday Bowl, and Calvin Thibodeaux captured postseason honors while leading the team with 10 sacks. Neither had started a game for the Sooners prior to the 2005 season.

• Colorado ranked No. 15 nationally and No. 2 in the Big 12 with 33 sacks in 2004.

• The Buffaloes were the Big 12 North champions three times during his tenure.

• Coached on the Illinois State squad that captured the Gateway Conference title and advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA semifinals in 1999. That season marked the only time that the Redbirds accomplished those feats.

• Was on the 1991 Butkus Award watch list.

• Third team All-America selection as a junior by The Football News.

2009 SigNiNg ClaSSWith a record six Big 12 Championships, a national title, a bowl appearance in each of his 10 seasons and seven stops at BCS games during Bob Stoops’ tenure, it’s more than coincidental that Oklahoma also produces well on signing day.

The OU head coach and his staff have apparently done so again, attracting a class that is roundly regarded among the top 10 in the nation. A total of 23 prospects inked letters of intent during the Sooners’ signing period.

The new Sooners represent a cross section of positions with five defensive backs, four linebackers and offensive linemen, two each at defensive end and wide receiver and one each at quarterback, tight end, defensive tackle, full back and running back.

Three of the signees hail from the junior college ranks while the other 20 are coming from high school. Five of those, linebackers Jayden Bird, Ronnell Lewis and Tom Wort, quarterback Drew Allen and defensive back Javon Harris, enrolled at OU at the beginning of January to join in conditioning workouts and spring workouts.

ROSTER NOTES

Nationwide BrandSeventeen states from across the U.S. are represented on the 2009 Oklahoma roster. It’s nothing new to have athletes from across the nation land in Norman with such a well-known brand of football taking place each Saturday. In fact, 29 states have appeared on Oklahoma rosters during the Stoops’ era, stretching from California to New York.

Big & SmallFor the third year in a row, the tallest and heaviest catego-ries will be led by an offensive tackle from the junior col-lege ranks. Jeff Vinson, at 6-8, 350, takes over the vacated spot of sun blotter from Phil Loadholt, now a member of the Minnesota Vikings.

On the opposite end of the size spectrum, kicker Jimmy Stevens did enough in the off season to hold on to his bill-ing as the shortest (5-6) and the lightest (165) member of the team.

Roster Quick HitsJobs Held: Brick tender (Jaydan Bird) ... Chicken farm hand (Daniel Franklin) ... Deep Fork Tree Farm (Gabe Ikard) ... Mattress transporter (Jarvis Jones) ... State rep-resentative’s assistant (Jaz Reynolds) ... Lifeguard (Tom Wort).

2008 SEASON REVIEW

NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma scored touchdowns on its first seven possessions and overwhelmed Tennessee-Chattanooga in the season opener for both teams, 57-2. It was 50-0 at halftime when lightning forced a one-hour, 12-minute delay. Chris Brown ran for three touchdowns, but the Sooners also threw for three as Quentin Chaney, Manuel Johnson and Juaquin Iglesias all caught passes for TDs. DeMarco Murray, who also scored once, led all rushers with 15 tries for 124 yards. QB Sam Bradford played sparingly, but still completed 17-of-22 passes for 183 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. The visiting Mocs mustered just 36 yards of total offense and two first downs against an OU defense that registered five sacks. Oklahoma would have posted a shutout if not for an errant punt snap that resulted in a safety. DE Auston English registered four tackles for loss and two and one-half sacks for OU, while CB Dominique Franks knocked down three passes.

57NORMAN, Okla. -- Sam Bradford established career highs for completions, attempts and yards, while tying his top performance for touchdown passes, as Oklahoma routed Cincinnati, 52-26. The OU quarterback completed 29-of-38 passes for 395 yards and five touchdowns. Among his favorite targets was redshirt freshman Ryan Broyles, who enjoyed the best debut game ever for a Sooner receiver when he caught seven passes for 141 yards. One of those resulted in Oklahoma’s first touchdown. OU jumped to a 14-0 lead and was ahead all day. The offense moved at will, running up 30 first downs and 197 rushing yards. The defense played better than the score indicated. Cincin-nati’s offense scored only two touchdowns before it tacked on another on the game’s final play. The other Bearcat score came on a kickoff return.

52SEATTlE -- Playing before a national television audience on ESPN, Oklahoma overwhelmed Washington in every facet to claim a 55-14 victory. Just one week earlier, the Huskies had dropped a heart-breaking 28-27 verdict to No. 15 BYU. The Sooners established a physical running game early to set up the pinpoint passing of quarterback Sam Bradford. Both Chris Brown (107) and DeMarco Murray (100) hit the 100-yard mark on the ground, while Bradford completed 18-of-21 passes for 304 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions. The Oklahoma defense was equally dominant, shutting out the Huskies until the 5:37 mark of the third period. Prior to that play, OU had amassed a 41-0 lead. CB Brian Jackson led the defensive unit with two fumble recoveries, one fumble forced and five tackles. At the end of the day, Oklahoma had 591 total yards with 274 on the ground and 317 through the air. UW finished with 336 yards, 95 in the fourth quarter.

2008 SEASON REVIEW

NORMAN, Okla. -- Sam Bradford threw for a career-high 411 yards and Manuel Johnson set an Oklahoma record with 206 receiving yards as the No. 2-ranked Sooners sprinted past TCU, 35-10. The Horned Frogs loaded up against the run, and limited OU to just 25 yards on 36 attempts, but opened themselves up to a flurry of big passing plays. After finding Juaquin Iglesias for a 24-yard touchdown on OU’s first possession, Bradford threw three straight TDs to Johnson on plays covering 76, 55 and 63 yards. Johnson became just the second player in school history to record three scoring plays of 55+ yards in one game (tying Antonio Perkins). Oklahoma shredded the nation’s No. 1-ranked defense for 436 total yards and Bradford threw at least four touchdown passes in a third consecutive game. Meanwhile, the Sooner defense stymied a TCU team that was averaging 43.0 points per game by forcing four turnovers, two fumbles and two interceptions. The Horned Frogs did not get a touchdown until the fourth quarter. The victory extended Oklahoma’s home winning streak to 21 games, a figure that tied the second longest home streak in school history.

35WACO, Texas -- Seventy seconds into its first possession, Oklahoma was in the end zone. And so it went as the Sooners, playing for the first time during the season with the nation’s No. 1 ranking, flattened Baylor, 49-17, in the Big 12 opener for both teams. The Sooners scored on their first four possessions and their 28 first-quarter points tied for their second-highest one-quarter scoring total by OU against a Big 12 foe. So complete was the domination that the first six OU touchdowns were scored by six different players. Sam Bradford completed 23-of-31 passes for 372 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for one score. In addition, OU rolled up 217 yards on the ground, led by DeMarco Murray, who had 96 yards and two touchdowns on 26 attempts. The Sooners held the upstart Bears 17 points and 160 total yards under their averages.

OU had sprinted to a 21-10 lead when Texas’ Jordan Shipley returned a kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. later, the Sooners lost MlB Ryan Reynolds, the Big 12’s fourth-leading tackler, to a knee injury, and the longhorns completed their rally. The 80 combined points represented the highest scoring total in the history of the series. OU quarterback Sam Bradford threw for 387 yards and five touchdowns, the best totals by any player in series history, but it wasn’t enough as the Sooners gave up 161 yards on the ground and 277 through the air.

2008 SEASON REVIEW

NORMAN, Okla. -- Four hours and 1,165 yards after the game started, Oklahoma knocked off No. 16 kansas, 45-31. Two OU school records fell in the process as Sam Bradford threw for 468 yards and Juaquin Iglesias caught 12 passes. But the passing game was only part of the story. OU also ran for 206 yards with Chris Brown getting 92 and Demarco Murray 83. For the first time this season, the Sooners did not score on their first drive when a partially blocked field goal missed, but they did score on the second and never trailed. Nic Harris made his first career start at middle linebacker, vacating a strong safety position that was filled by first-time starter Quinton Carter. The latter led OU with 10 tackles. lendy Holmes added a pair of interceptions and Auston English a pair of sacks.

Sam Bradford threw five touchdown passes for the sixth time in his career and the fourth time this season, and DeMarco Murray ran for a pair of scores while catching another and logging 201 all-purpose yards. As dominant as the offense was, it was the defense that ignited the onslaught. After OU scored on its opening drive for the eighth time in nine games, CB Dominique Franks intercepted a pass on Nebraska’s first snap and ran 18 yards for a TD. It was one of three first-quarter takeaways logged by the Sooner defense. Travis lewis had a team-high nine tackles for OU.

65STIllWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma handed its in-state rival its first home loss of the season by notching a 61-41 triumph. Sam Bradford was 30-of-44 for 370 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions. He also rushed four times for 16 yards and another TD. Not bad for a guy who suffered ligament damage in his left hand during OU’s third offensive series. Jermaine Gresham had nine catches for a career-high 158 yards and two TDs. OU had 187 yards on the ground, including 98 and two TDs from Chris Brown. On defense, Dominque Franks’ interception led to OU’s first score, and Frank Alexander got a two-point play when he returned a fumble on an OSU conversion try.

2008 SEASON REVIEW

kANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Oklahoma made its case for a berth in the national title game with a 62-21 romp over Missouri in the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship. It was the third straight league crown for OU and its sixth since the Big 12 was formed. Both rate as bests among conference members. The issue was decided early as the Sooners raced to a 38-7 halftime lead. Chris Brown and Mossis Madu each ran for more than 100 yards as Sam Bradford made a final push for the Heisman with 384 passing yards to go along with two touchdowns on 34-of-49 passing. Juaquin Iglesias had nine catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Brown led all ballcarriers with 122 yards followed by Madu with 114. When Madu scored the game’s final touchdown, the ‘08 Sooners became the first team in NCAA history to eclipse 60 points in five straight games. lendy Holmes and Brian Jackson each picked off Missouri QB Chase Daniel while Jackson also recovered a Daniel fumble.

GAME SUMMARYThis was the first Orange Bowl that featured two national powers as both teams were undefeated and untied . 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 .

GAME SUMMARYIn 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 commit-tee decision to match representatives of the Western Athletic Conference (now the Pac Ten) and the Big Nine, (now the Big 10) . This agree-ment made it possible for teams not waiting for a possible Rose Bowl berth to be picked by the Gator Bowl committee .

GAME SUMMARYIt was legendary Coach Bud Wilkinson’s first bowl game as the fifth-ranked and underdog Sooners took on the third-ranked and unbeaten North Carolina Tar Heels accompanied by their All-America tailback Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice . 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 SUMMARYWilkinson’s team was rated second in the na-tion 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 .

GAME SUMMARYOU 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 .

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 intercep-tion 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 .

GAME SUMMARYIt 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 .

GAME SUMMARYFlorida 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 .

GAME SUMMARYOklahoma had won the Big Eight title in Chuck Fairbank’s first year as head coach. 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 Soon-ers desperately needed the insurance when Dewey Warren plowed in from a yard out . The Volunteers then missed a potential game-win-ning field goal as the gun went off.

GAME SUMMARYOU led 20-6 entering the fourth but SMU’s Chuck Hixson, passing for 281 yards, led a comeback that produced a 28-21 lead . 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 on-side kick but a field goal attempt from inside the SMU 30-yard line went wide as time expired .

GAME SUMMARYThe 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 run-ning 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 .

GAME SUMMARYOU had lost only one game, the “Game of the Century” to Nebraska on Thanksgiving Day . Auburn featured Heisman Trophy winner Pat Sullivan . It was run versus pass, with OU’s run-ners 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.

GAME SUMMARYPlayed 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 fifth-ranked 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 cel-ebrated 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 .

*Note that this Sugar Bowl game was played on December 31, 1972, instead of the traditional New Year’s Day.

GAME SUMMARYIt was Oklahoma’s first bowl trip under legend-ary 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 SUMMARYThis was a mismatch that was decided early on as Oklahoma rolled up almost 500 yards in total offense and cruised to an easy victory . 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 .

GAME SUMMARYCalled 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 .

GAME SUMMARYA truly amazing turn of events produced a rematch after Nebraska’s victory in November . 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 .

GAME SUMMARYThe Big Eight Champion Sooners met an unde-feated Florida State team on New Year’s night . 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 .

GAME SUMMARYThis 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.

GAME SUMMARYThe magic of Marcus Dupree ran out as the Sun Devils rallied for 14 fourth-quarter points to win the first meeting between the two. 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 .

GAME SUMMARYBrigham Young was No . 1 in the polls, but Sooner head coach Barry Switzer had argued that the Sooners should be No . 1 because of a tougher schedule. A win over a fine Husky team would solidify that claim . However, Washington refused to cooperate and turned a 17-14 fourth-quarter 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 .

GAME SUMMARYThe 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 SUMMARYAfter a dry three quarters and the score dead-locked 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 .

GAME SUMMARYTop-ranked Oklahoma used a smothering de-fense 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 .

GAME SUMMARYArkansas’ 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 one-yard 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 .

GAME SUMMARYRiding its defense, LSU won the BCS title, 21-14 . 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 .

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 .

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 Colo-rado and then reeled off five straight wins, averaging 46 points a game.

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 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 Sport-ing 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.

AWARD WINNERS UNDER STOOPS

Oklahoma players have earned All-America honors 28 times during head coach Bob Stoops’ 10-year tenure in Norman (an average of nearly three per year) . The total includes 14 players from the defense, 12 players on offense and two from special teams .

From Josh Heupel and J .T . Thatcher in 2000 to Sam Bradford, Jermaine Gresham, Gerald McCoy and Duke Robinson in 2008, Stoops has coached an athlete into earning All-America status every year but 2005 .

During that span, 14 Sooners have been named consensus All-Americans on 18 occasions .

Six Sooners have received multiple All-America honors under Stoops’ watch . Jammal Brown, Rocky Calmus, Tommie Harris, Teddy Lehman, Duke Robinson and Roy Williams have each garnered the honor twice in their respective careers .

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 1975 when eight OU athletes were named All-Americans, including three consensus All-Americans .

Showing versatility, players at OU under Stoops have earned All-America honors at every position except kicker .

OU All-Americans Since 2000

As the leader of the most potent and highest scoring offense in NCAA his-tory, 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 .

Known for his poise in the pocket and pinpoint accuracy, Bradford posted one of best ever touchdown-to-interception ratios, 6 .25-to-1, in the history of college football .

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 .

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 .

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 . The AP and The Sporting News named Bradford first team All-American

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 .

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 ex-ceeded 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.

2006*ALL-AMERICAN*RUFUS ALEXANDER* LB

Linebacker Rufus Alexander was named first team All-America by the American Football Coaches’ Association at the conclusion of the 2006 season . The Baton Rouge, La ., native led the Sooner defense in 2006 with 118 tackles (75 solo), including 12 for loss (-43 yards) . Alexander was also credited with 3 .5 quarterback sacks, four forced fumbles (two recoveries) and an interception . Alexander had 36 starts in his career, including every game of the 2006 and 2005 seasons . He played in 39 total games for the Sooners from 2003-06 after redshirting in 2002 . The 2006 Big 12 Conference Defensive Player of the Year, Alexander became the first OU player to lead the team in tackles in back-to-back seasons since Rocky Calmus did so in three consecutive seasons from 1999-2001 .

2007*ALL-AMERICAN*CURTIS LOFTON* LB

For a definition of a breakout season, see Curtis Lofton, 2007.

In his first season atop the depth chart, the junior from Kingfisher, Okla., put together one of the top seasons ever for an Oklahoma linebacker and was rewarded with a consensus All-American tag .

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 2007 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, Lofton had a knack for forc-ing critical turnovers against big time opponents, never more evident than his interception of Missouri’s Chase Daniel in the Big 12 Championship .

The one season of stardom paid off for Lofton, as the linebacker was OU’s first selection in the 2008 NFL Draft, going in the third round to the Atlanta Falcons .

A consensus All-American in both 2007 and 2008, Duke Robinson built a reputation as one of the best offensive lineman to pass through Norman .

A 2008 Outland Award finalist, Robinson became a two-time consensus All-American by being named a first team member to four All-America teams (Associated Press, Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and the Walter Camp Foundation) along with first team All-Big 12 honors from five outlets.

Robinson was a first team member of four All-America teams in 2007 (AP, American Football Coaches’ Association, The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated), Robinson also earned first team All-Big 12 honors from eight different outlets .

The Atlanta, Ga., native took to the field early, playing in 10 games as a true freshman . From blowing open holes for Adrian Peterson to giving Sam Bradford time in the pocket, the versatile Robinson has proved his worth as a member of three consecutive Big 12 Championship teams .

With the habit of collapsing the opposing team’s pocket attacking through the interior of the line, it was no surprise that Gerald McCoy was named an All-American in 2008 by both The Sporting News and Sports Illustrated .

As the top anchor of the Sooners’ defensive tackle rotation, McCoy led the group and was second on the team with 6 .5 sacks .

McCoy’s presence was never more felt than in the FedEx BCS National Championship game where he constantly harassed the Florida offense while grabbing his first career interception.

2004*ALL-AMERICAN* VINCE CARTER*C

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 .

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 earned first team All-Big 12 Conference honors in 2003 and 2004.

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 .

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 con-sensus All-American .

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.

Brown had 127 knockdowns and ran his string of consecutive starts to 28 during the season .

2004 & 2003*ALL-AMERICAN*MARK CLAYTON*WR

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 .

After a wildly successful junior season, Clayton’s numbers dipped some-what 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 .

Antonio Perkins became the nation’s most feared punt returner by re-writ-ing 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 intercep-tions 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 .

Derrick Strait duplicated former OU great Roy Williams by winning the Na-gurski (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 .

Strait set school records for starts (53), career interception return yards (397) and passes broken up (53) . The Austin native ignited Oklahoma’s 65-13 win over Texas in 2003 with a season-high 11 tackles, an intercep-tion, a 30-yard return, two fumble recoveries and three pass deflections against the Longhorns. Strait was a Thorpe Award semifinalist and consensus first team All-Big 12 selection in 2002.

He started every game at corner and tied for the OU lead with six intercep-tions . 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 .

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 .

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 .

2002*ALL-AMERICAN*BRANDON EVERAGE* FS

Free safety Brandon Everage earned All-America honors after a stellar junior campaign in 2002 .

Six interceptions, with 107 yards in returns, would indicate that Everage understood the centerfield nature of his position. The 94 tackles, third-highest 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 .

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 back-fields with his uncanny quickness. Harris had 10 tackles for loss and 19 quarterback hurries .

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 .

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 win-ning 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 .

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 .

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 op-portunity for the Seminoles to get back into the game .

By the time his career was over, Roy Williams was more feared by of-fensive opponents and more respected by his defensive peers than any player in the country .

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 .

The runner-up for the 2000 Heisman Trophy, Josh Heupel became Okla-homa’s first consensus All-America quarterback and the first Sooner QB to earn All-America honors since Jack Mildren in 1971 .

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 .

The first-team all-conference selection guided OU to a school-record 13 wins and its seventh national championship . Heupel left with virtually every OU and numerous Big 12 passing records .

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 Nagur-ski 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 .

As a junior, he was named the toughest player in college football by The Sporting News during the Sooners’ 2000 national championship season . OU’s all-time leader in tackles for a loss by a linebacker, Calmus was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press and was a finalist for the Butkus Award. A first-team All-Big 12 selection in each of his last three seasons, Calmus led the squad in tackles in each of those years . He was drafted in the third round of the 2002 draft by the Tennessee Titans .

ER SOONER


OKLAHOMA TRADITIONSWhat is a Sooner?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 .

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 .”

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 & CreamIn 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 SchoonerThe 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 .

Boomer Sooner!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 .

Oklahoma!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 ChantEvery fan who wears the official colors, each current student and student-athlete 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-AOur chant rolls on and on!Thousands strongJoin heart and songIn alma mater’s praiseOf campus beautiful by day and nightOf colors proudly gleaming Red and White‘Neath a western skyOU’s chant will never die.Live on University!

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTin on government experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists . In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists . Boren also chaired the special 1992-93 Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more efficient and responsive by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock .

Boren left the U .S . Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 9l percent after being reelected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U .S . Senate contest in that election year .

Boren served from 1988 to 1997 as a member of the Yale University Board of Trust-ees . His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and chairman of the Division of Social Sciences . In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year .

In April 2004, Boren received the Mory’s Cup from the Mory’s Association at Yale University. In making the presentation to Boren it was noted that he was the first Yale graduate in the university’s history extending over three centuries to have served as a Governor, U .S . Senator and President of a major university .

Under Boren’s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a “pacesetter university in American public higher education,” with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration . They include establishment of the Honors College, the Charles M . Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, a new expository writing program for freshmen modeled on the program at Harvard, an interdisciplinary religious studies program, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence Program putting faculty family apartments in student residence halls . The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach fresh-men .

The number of new facilities started or completed on the campus during the Boren years has matched the explosion in new programs . Since 1994, almost $1 billion in construction projects have been completed or are under way on OU’s three campuses . Among the largest of the recent projects are the $18 .7 million renovation and expansion of historic Holmberg Hall, home of music and dance programs; the $67 million National Weather Center; the $19 million addition to the Michael F . Price College of Business; the $17 million Gaylord Hall for journalism and mass communi-cation; the $27 million Stephenson Research and Technology Center; and the $83 .5 million stadium project . The Health Sciences Center has a new Student Union, and the new $24 million Stanton L . Young Biomedical Research Center .

Presidential Travel Scholarships, students from 111 countries on campus, more reciprocal international exchange agreements than any other university and the new International Programs Center are all making OU more international . The new Honors College helps to assure that no students need to leave Oklahoma to find an educational experience to match their potential .

In 1995, Boren launched the “Reach for Excellence” fundraising campaign with a five-year goal of $200 million, which was twice as large as any fundraising drive in Oklahoma history . The drive exceeded $500 million, raising OU into the top 15 public universities in the United States in private endowment per capita . Since 1994, endowed professorships have more than quadrupled and the OU donor base has grown from 18,000 to more than 107,000 friends and alumni. During the first 10 years of Boren’s tenure over $1 billion in private gifts were donated to the university .

Above all, the Boren years have been marked by an emphasis on putting students first. There is not a university president in the country that is more committed to students as his number one priority . He teaches a freshman-level course in political science each semester and is one of the few presidents of major universities to teach .

Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher . Mrs . Boren is President Emeritus of the Oklahoma Arts Institute, which provides education programs in nine arts disciplines for high school students from across the state who are gifted in the arts . Molly Boren has two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master’s degree in English and a Juris Doctorate from the OU College of Law . A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, an Episcopal minister, and David Daniel Boren, a member of the United States Congress from Oklahoma . Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his parents, the late Congressman Lyle H . Boren and Christine Boren .

David L. Boren13th President, The University of OklahomaDavid L . Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U .S . senator, became the thirteenth president of the University of Oklahoma in November 1994 . He is the first person in state history to have served in all three positions.

Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system . A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa . He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master’s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in 1965 .

In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty .

As Oklahoma’s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma . Established during his tenure were the Oklahoma Arts Institute, the Scholar-Leadership Enrichment Pro-gram, and the Oklahoma Physicians Manpower Training Program, which provides scholarships for medical students and medical personnel who commit to practice in underserved rural areas. Also, the first state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked first among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education .

One of Boren’s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in 1985 . The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools . As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of appreciated property to universities in 1993 .

Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma . Boren was the young-est governor in the nation when he served from 1974 to 1978 . Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol . During his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including conflict-of-interest rules, campaign-financing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, more competitive bidding on state government contracts, and reform of the state’s prison system, including expanded education programs for first-time offenders and the largest expansion of the work-release program in state history .

During his time in the U .S . Senate from 1979 to 1994, Boren served on the Sen-ate Finance and Agriculture Committees and was the longest-serving chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence . From his days as a state legislator and governor of Oklahoma to Washington, Boren carried a commitment to reform, leading numerous efforts to make government work better for American citizens . As chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, he strengthened oversight of secret government programs and reformed the procedures for Presidential notice of such programs to Congress .

For more than 10 years, he led the fight for congressional campaign finance reform and for legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing

Principle Centered Leader …Visionary . . . Passionate Advocate for Student-Athletes . . . Establishes Standards of Excellence & Cultural Values . . . Builder of Championship Programs

Each of those characteristics, standing alone, describes the 11th director of athletics in University of Oklahoma history . However, just as he has brought together differ-ent groups who are committed to one goal, you must combine those traits to get the complete picture of the person who has led the OU athletics department since 1998 .

Joe Castiglione has established a pattern of excellence that few in his profession can match. In an environment where every decision is made reflecting the department’s mission statement “Inspiring champions today … Preparing leaders for tomorrow,” forming the background, Castiglione is leading the department that has written one of the most successful eras in school history .

Quick to give credit to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff and the university administration, the donors and the fans, Castiglione was the one who implemented the changes that led to success . When he was hired in 1998, the search committee be-lieved they had found a rising star in the field of intercollegiate athletics administration. Everything that has happened since his arrival at OU has cemented that reputation .

The accomplishments of the department and its student-athletes, coaches and staff have earned national recognition for the university and the department . Recognized as the 2007 PRISM Award winner 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 . The PRISM Award annually recognizes one Division I intercollegiate athletics department that demonstrates industry-leading excellence and innovation in sports management .

His commitment to the success of student-athletes led NCAA President Dr . Myles Brand to appoint him as chair of the Football Academic Progress Rate (APR) Working Group in June of 2008 . This group, which includes presidents, chancellors, conference commissioners, faculty athletics representatives, athletics directors and head football coaches, has been given the charge to review the APR as it pertains to Division I football student-athletes . When the study is complete, the group will report back to Dr . Brand and the NCAA Board of Directors with their findings, evaluations and recom-mendations for improvement .

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 Direc-tor 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 .

Perhaps his most unique achievement over the last 10 years for Castiglione, though, came when he received his master’s of education degree from OU in May 2007 . 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 experi-ence to use as an adjunct professor in the College of Education teaching a graduate class in Marketing & Development .

The 11th director of athletics at the University of Oklahoma has celebrated seven national team championships and over 40 conference team titles; record numbers of graduating student-athletes and record-setting grade point averages for Sooner teams; dramatically increased donor giving; huge increases in ticket sales for all sports; major facility improvements, and development and construction of new facilities . And, as aggressive as the push to improve, expand and excel has been, he has produced a balanced budget in every year of his tenure, a first since the early 1980s.

Other highlights of Castiglione’s tenure include:

• An annual finish among the top 25 in the standings for the Director’s Cup which measures overall athletics success in eight of the last nine years, including an all-time program best of 15th in 2003-2004 . OU ranked 23rd in the 2007-08 standings .• The Sooner men’s gymnastics team won its eighth NCAA title in 2008. It marked the fifth national championship for the program in the last seven years. The Sooners were led by OU’s most decorated gymnast in school history and latest Olympian, Jonathan Horton, who brought home two Olympic medals from the 2008 Beijing Games .• A total of 32 OU teams that have ranked among the top 10 in season-ending polls.• A school-record and Big 12-best graduation rate of 74% in 2003.• Four appearances in the BCS National Championship Game and the college football national championship in 2000 .• Appearances by the men’s and women’s basketball teams in their respective Final Fours in 2002 followed by a women’s return in 2008 .

• A Division I record of 74 combined victories produced by the football team and both basketball squads in both the 2001-02 and 2008-09 school years .• An average of more than 17 out of 21 OU teams per year represented in postseason play . A total of 15 of OU’s 21 teams advanced to NCAA competition in 2008-09 and conference titles were produced by football, women’s basketball, softball and women’s gymnastics .

Credited with energizing OU’s fund-raising efforts, Castiglione was instrumental in the athletics department’s major campaign, Great Expectations: The Campaign For Sooner Sports . The campaign ended in November of 2003 with more than $125 million raised . The figure has grown to almost $200 million since then as the department continues its approach, and largest fund-raising effort in OU athletics history including projects that impact each of OU’s nearly 500 student-athletes . It has become a national model for intercollegiate athletics .

Castiglione has cultivated over 20 multi-million dollar gifts, including the largest capital gifts in history for athletics at OU, and some of the largest ever for the university as a whole . He has driven dramatic facilities projects, including a $70 million renovation and expansion of Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium . Others include a $17 .2 million renovation of Lloyd Noble Center; phase I of The Headington Family Tennis Complex; John Jacobs Track and Field Complex; the Everest Training Facility, one of the largest indoor practice areas in the country; and construction of the Gregg & Betsy Wadley Indoor Tennis Center . Other projects completed in his tenure have included the redesign of the Sooner football practice fields; the Port Robertson Wrestling Facility; phase I & II of the Sooner Soccer Complex, expansion of the Viersen Gymnastics Pavilion as well as additional renovations to the McCasland Field House; L . Dale Mitchell Park, the Charlie Coe Golf Learning Center, the OU Softball Complex and Barry Switzer Center. His administrative work, which has seen significant reorganiza-tion and the hiring of 12 head coaches, also included the negotiation of multi-million dollar multi-media rights contract that produces more than $8 million in annual revenue for the athletics department . His leadership was instrumental as well as the Sooners added their 21st athletics team to the OU family, women’s rowing (which will begin competition in the fall of 2008) and the design and construction of the new McClendon Boathouse on the Oklahoma River .

Castiglione was hired on April 30, 1998, after serving as athletics director at Missouri . In his 17-year career with the Tigers, Castiglione, who was named director of athletics at Missouri on Dec . 15, 1993, was credited with rebuilding sports programs, hiring outstanding coaches, implementing an innovative master plan for facilities, inspiring record-setting increases in fund-raising and balancing the budget in each of his five years as athletics director .

A 1979 Maryland graduate, Castiglione received the University’s Distinguished Alumnus Award in April 2007 . He began his career as the sports promotions director at Rice . He then worked a year as director of athletic fund-raising at Georgetown before being hired in 1981 at Missouri as director of communications and marketing .

Active on the national and conference level, he is currently serving on the Gatorade Collegiate Advisory Board and the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors . He served two terms as chair of the Big 12 Board of Athletics Directors and is a past president of the Division I-A Athletic Directors Associa-tion 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 agreed to serve on the NCAA Diversity Leadership Strategic Planning Committee and the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Discussion Group . In 2007, he was named to the Phi Delta Theta Foundation Board of Trustees . He is a highly requested speaker at annual conventions and continuing education institutes .

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 .

OKLAHOMA MEMORIAL STADIUM

MEMORIAL STADIUM

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 never-ending 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 . 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 .

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 facili-ties 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 con-struction 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 .

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 .

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 . Capac-ity 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 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 Condition-ing 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.
