H H H H H H Welcome From Head Coach Bob Stoops Welcome to one of the great traditions in all of sports, football at the University of Oklahoma. Our very name is synonymous with the history and excellence of college football. It is that because the Sooner program is as vibrant and pertinent today as it was 50 years ago. This is a place where the championships of the past are appreciated, but never to the point that they blur the pursuit of our next one. Success here only 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 in that scenario is the student-athlete. This environment inspires greatness and encourages excellence. It does so with an eye on compassion and friendliness, qualities that have long defined 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 set out in pursuit of col- lege football’s highest goals, to prepare for that next championship. We know that success here is judged in that manner and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 2006 OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL SEASON REVIEW HISTORY THE SOONERS COACHING STAFF 2006 SEASON BOOMER SOONER 950 955 956 974 975 985 2000 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS * * * * * * 2006 OU FOOTBALL GUIDE The 2006 Oklahoma Football Guide was designed and produced by the OU Athletics Department in Norman, Okla., using Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop.

Welcome From Head Coach Bob StoopsWelcome to one of the great traditions in all of sports, football at the University of Oklahoma. Our very name is synonymous with the history and excellence of college football.

It is that because the Sooner program is as vibrant and pertinent today as it was 50 years ago. This is a place where the championships of the past are appreciated, but never to the point that they blur the pursuit of our next one.

Success here only 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 in that scenario is the student-athlete. This environment inspires greatness and encourages excellence. It does so with an eye on compassion and friendliness, qualities that have long defined 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 set out in pursuit of col-lege football’s highest goals, to prepare for that next championship. We know that success here is judged in that manner and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

54MEDIA SERVICESThe Oklahoma Athletics Media Relations Department provides complete services for media cov-ering the Sooners throughout the year. View contact information, media instructions and policies, information on credentials and media availability for coaches, staff and student-athletes.

57THE STADIuMOklahoma Memorial Stadium is one of America’s most recog-nized 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.

60SEASON OuTLOOKThe Sooners open the 2006 season against UAB in Norman. A trip to Oregon highlights the non-conference schedule with the 101st OU-Texas game slated for the Cotton Bowl. Big 12 foes Iowa State, Colorado, and Texas Tech visit Norman while OU travels to Missouri, Texas A&M, Baylor and Oklahoma State.

64ROSTERSAfter fielding one of the nation’s youngest teams and playing Divi-sion I-A’s most difficult schedule last season, the Sooners are poised for a return to the national title race. Some 24 players who started at least one game in 2005 are slated to return to the gridiron for Oklahoma in 2006.

72COACHING 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.

92PLAYER BIOSThis bunch of Sooners, like its competitors, doesn’t necessarily have all of the bases covered. But as it looks toward the season ahead, it does so knowing that nothing would be more satisfying than to punctuate this campaign with a championship.

�28SEASON REVIEWLast season’s crescendo built to an impressive roar in the closing weeks and on the last night of the season, in a west coast stadium inhabited in the majority by hostile Oregon fans, a young team with plenty of reasons to do otherwise, vanquished the nation’s sixth-ranked team.

�40SOONER 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 col-lege football. Review complete statistics, award winners, player honors, letterwinners, bowl game tradition and NFL Sooners.

�92SEASON BY SEASON2006 will mark the 112th season of intercollegiate football at OU. The Sooners were playing foot-ball 12 years before Oklahoma became a state. Fifty years ago, the 1956 team (above) won the third of Oklahoma’s seven national titles and extended what still stands as major college football’s longest win streak.

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.

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 winningest program in the nation with more victories (513) than any other school and the best winning percentage (.760). Victories 1946-2005:

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 three national championship games over the last six seasons, owns three Big 12 championships during that time and turnedout 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.

Wins This Century (2000-2005)

43 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 43 OU football games have been on TV.

Thanks to ABC, ESPN, TBS and Fox Sports Net millions of view-ers tune in to see Oklahoma on a regular basis.

Everyone loves a winner and the Sooners has 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 235 games on TV.

This is the center of the college football world.

OU’s average attendance for six home games was 84,532 including a record 84,943 fans who jammed Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium for the 36-30 win against Texas A&M on November 12.

With the expansion of its facility to an official capacity of 82,112 and with every home game exceeding that capacity, Oklahoma set numerous attendance records in 2005. In fact, over the last two seasons Sooner fans have accounted for the 10 largest home crowds in school history.

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 1985, 1974 and 1975. 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 postsea-son 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 wins by a Division I-A 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 Division I-A history.�950

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 thevery 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 with an Orange Bowl victory over Florida State to cap an undefeated, 13-0 season. OU’s other championships came under Barry Switzer in 1985, 1975 and 1974, and Bud Wilkinson in 1956, 1955 and 1950. Nebraska is second with five championships and Texas has four. Colorado and Texas A&M each have claimed one title.

Page 12: 2006 OU Football Guide

No Team Has More Big �2 TitlesOklahoma won its first conference championship in 1915 and has since tacked on another 38. 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 three league crowns in six 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.

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 on 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 �2University of Oklahoma players have earned consensus All-America honors 63 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 and Walter Camp. A player is designated a consensus All-American if he is a first-team selection on at least three of the five teams.

Sixteen Winners in Last Six 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.

Elite 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. Ten Sooners were tabbed in the 2005 NFL Draft alone, including two in the first round and five in the first two.

OU plays pro schemes, has two coaches who had lengthy NFL careers and employs a rigorous strength and conditioning program that is so effective that many of those who have gone on to professional careers come back to Norman in the off-season to continue their training.

Players with the ability and drive to make the NFL flourish at Oklahoma and leave here equipped to play football beyond their college days.

Sooners 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 2005, all 13 Oklahoma games appeared on live television, including seven 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 CHAMPIONSHIPSThirty-nine bowl appearances and 24 bowl victories have firmly entrenched Oklahoma among the most tradition-rich schools in America. The Sooners have become synonymous with post-season 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. Three times in the last six seasons the Sooners have played for the national championship, four times they have been in BCS bowls and in five seasons they played in January games.

OU enjoys favored status among the bowl community, mostly for its tradition, butalso for its fan following. Some 30,000 ventured to the Rose, Sugar and OrangeBowls over the last three seasons. Regardless of the location, Sooner fansflock to follow a bowl tradition that is as fresh as it is historic.

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 ExperienceFrom 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 modi-fied 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 engrained 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.

Although OU just completed a stadium expansion, the facility operated at 103 percent capacity in 2005 -- ninth best in the nation. That means no empty seats for games in Norman.

The official capacity of Memorial Stadium is 82,112 but OU averaged 84,331 fans per game last season. That put theSooners at No. 9 in the nation in average attendance.

Since the stadium’s opening in 1923, the Sooners have32 undefeated seasons at home, including five perfecthome seasons under head coach Bob Stoops.

Ou FOOTBALL FACILITIESPreparation Meets OpportunityIt would be hard to imagine a football program doing more over the last five years to enhance its facilities than OU. The $70 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 expan-sion and enhancement project that added 8,000 seats. In 2005, OU led the Big 12 in average attendance at 84,331.

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.

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

Schmidt has coached 23 NFL first-round picks including Oklahoma’s Davin Joseph, Jammal Brown, Mark Clayton, Tommie Harris, Andre Woolfolk and Roy Williams.

3� No. 31 for the Dallas Cowboys and former Sooner standout, Roy Williams, donated $100,000 to establish a new weight room in Oklahoma’s Everest Training Facility.

�6 A total of 16 Sooners were selected in the 2005 and 2006 NFL Drafts. No school has produced more pro football selections than Oklahoma the past two years.

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 off-season 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 eighth 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 at Nebraska, 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.”

- Ted Miller, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 2005

EXPLOSIVE OFFENSETwo Ou Heisman Finalists in 2004Pass 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. Well which is it, passing or running?

At Oklahoma, the answer is both. While most schools dream of balance, OU is balance. In 2005, the Sooners passed for 2,131 yards. They rushed for 2,130.

And that balance creates opportunity for all. It is common to see the ball in the hands of 10-15 players during a game. Many stay involved to the detriment of none.

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

QB Two All-Americans, three Heisman finalists, one Heisman Trophy winner and OU’s record holders in game, season and career passing yards.

One Heisman finalist, one All-American, three 1,000-yard rushers and Oklahoma’s single season rushing yards record holder.

Two All-Americans, one Biletnikoff Award finalist and OU’s record holders in game, season and career receptions, receiving yards and touchdown receptions (tied).

One Mackey Award and Oklahoma’s record holder in touchdown receptions in a game (tied).

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

DOMINATING DEFENSEAttacking Defense Built on SpeedOklahoma’s defense suffers from a bit of an identity crisis, but nobody in Norman is about to say anything. With a takeaway in 81 of Bob Stoops’ 91 games and 17 interception or fumble returns for touchdowns during this coach’s tenure, the defense has a reputation of, well, being a little offensive in its approach.

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 13 teams in the nation in total defense for six consecutive years.

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

RuFuS ALEXANDER 8�806022�68

Oklahoma has forced at least one turnover in 81 of 91 games (89 percent) over the last seven seasons.

With 42 sacks in 2005 and another 38 in 2004, the Sooner defense has 80 sacks over the last two seasons.

The Sooner defense has had at least one interception in 60 of 79 games (76 percent) over the last six years.

Sooner defenders have scored 22 touchdowns, an average of 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 16 points per game.

The Oklahoma defense has registered eight shutouts under Stoops.

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 byproduct 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 seven 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 Champi-onship as long as Bob Stoops wants to.”

- John Saunders, ABC Sports

“He has brought us back to the pinnacle of college football. Bob is creat-ing 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 pre-sides over players who are competitive and aggressive, but also respectful and talkative.”

- David Barron, Houston Chronicle

Ou COACHING STAFF�55 Cumulative Years of ExperienceIn Bob Stoops’ seven seasons at the University of Oklahoma, four 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.

J.D. Runnels, Chicago Bears“I didn’t know where I was going until I heard Coach Stoops’ voice on the other end of the phone There was always a special place in my heart for OU. I was aware of the winning tradition, national championships and bowl success that they had and all of the great players they produced.”

J.D. RuNNELS

Dan Cody, Baltimore Ravens“The camaraderie in the program is great. For the people who are going to be far from home for an extended period of time, I would think that would be very important. Everybody meshes so well there. You’re welcomed with open arms and then you’re part of a very close-knit group.”

Rufus Alexander, Senior Linebacker“The people made this the right decision for me. Everyone welcomes you here and they’re all very encouraging.

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

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

The Legacy of Prentice GauttThe OU Academics Center that today’s student-athletes use every-day 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 per-sonal 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 IN THE COMMuNITY

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

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

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

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

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

Gutierrez a Finalist for Wooden CupJacob Gutierrez, who in 2005 was named Norman United Way Youth Citizen Volunteer of the Year, saw his public service honored again in 2006 when he was one of six finalists for the John Wooden Citizenship Cup.

The award is presented annually by Athletes for a Better World, an Atlanta, Ga., based organization. The award was won by Jackie Dubois. Ironically, she ran track and cross country at Oklahoma. OU was the only school represented by more than one student-athlete.

Gutierrez has been a trend setter in reaching out to others.

OU head coach Bob Stoops said Gutierrez plays a vital role on his team.

“Jacob Gutierrez is a solid, caring individual,” said Stoops. “It is gratifying to see him recognized for all that he is as a citizen, a student and a football player. There is no way you can place a value on what it means to have someone of his character on our team and on our campus.”

NORMAN & OKLAHOMA CITY

Norman - Home of the SoonersNorman is an ever-changing city of nearly 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 smart 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.

3 Norman is the third largest city in the state with over 100,000 residents. Despite its growth, the city nurtures and maintains its small, college town atmosphere.

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.

Oklahoma CityOklahoma City, the state’s capital, is located just 18 miles north of the Nor-man 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 is home to the NBA’s Hornets, 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 en-tertainment 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.

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

The question marks of last fall might be this year’s exclamation points. After the National Football League draft claimed 10 OU stars, the 2005 season unfolded with plenty of unknowns, primarily because the team was so young.

Bob Stoops and his charges, clinging to the head coach’s credo of, “no excuses,” ignored several apparent setbacks and forged ahead. The start was slow, but after the 2-3 beginning chemistry developed and inexperienced play-ers gained confidence.

The crescendo built to an impressive roar in the closing weeks and on the last night of the season, in a west coast stadium inhabited in the majority by hostile Oregon fans, a young team with plenty of reasons to do otherwise, vanquished the nation’s sixth-ranked team.

In doing so, Oklahoma regained the attention of a nation and positioned itself for a champion-ship run in 2006.

This bunch of Sooners, like its competitors, doesn’t necessarily have all of the bases cov-ered. But as it looks toward the season ahead, it does so knowing that nothing would be more satisfying than to punctuate this campaign with a championship.

THE OFFENSEIf the 2005 season could be quantified on a growth chart, a measuring stick to the heavens might be appropriate. The unit that began the season and the one that finished had but one thing in common -- they both included 11 players.

Beyond that, the similarities were hard to find. A young receiving corps impressed as its experience level grew closer to that of its talent, an offensive line seemingly devoid of chemistry developed into a solid unit and a stable of backs survived the lengthy mid-season absence of Adrian Peterson.

That was the offense in ‘05.

Many of the skill positions return intact led by Peterson and the team’s leading receiver, Malcolm Kelly.

The line, for a second straight season, needs some retooling after the loss several starters. Fortunately, the list of young players is promis-ing, and two incoming junior college players appear capable of providing immediate help.

QUARTERBACKSPaul Thompson moved back to the position from receiver when offseason personnel changes opened the starting job.

Thompson started the opener last year and, as a fifth-year senior, is one of oldest players on the squad. His position of respect among teammates makes him a natural leader. On the field, he figures to flourish in an offense that might better suit his skill set. A speedster, Thompson gives OU a good run-throw option.

At semester break, OU added junior college quarterback Joey Halzle, then the Sooners welcomed true freshman Sam Bradford. Hays McEachern also is in the mix.

RUNNING BACKSAdrian Peterson spent all or more than half of four games sidelined with an ankle injury, but still eclipsed 1,000 yards and rushed for more yardage than any other Big 12 running back. He will be back for his junior season hoping to remain injury free. As a freshman, he had more attempts than any other player in the country and finished second in the Heisman voting.

Other backs include Allen Patrick, a converted defensive back, who impressed with his speed and elusiveness last year, and Jacob Gutierrez. Gutierrez ran for 173 yards in the win over Baylor last season, but is coming back from off-season knee surgery.

Oklahoma signed three quality backs in Febru-ary in Chris Brown, Mossi Madu and DeMarco Murray. They fill depth after losing backups Ke-juan Jones and Donta Hickson to graduation.

At fullback, Oklahoma looks to Dane Zaslaw and Matt Clapp after losing four-year mainstay J.D. Runnels to graduation.

RECEIVERSYouth was served at receiver last year and, to borrow some street slang, that same group “served” several secondary units.

Three freshmen were on the field a lot for Oklahoma in Malcolm Kelly, Juaquin Iglesias and Manuel Johnson. Kelly topped the team in receptions (33) and yards (471). Iglesias was brilliant in clutch situations (caught the game-winner in the second overtime against Baylor) and Johnson is perhaps the fastest of the three.

Depth is good at receiver, too, with the likes of Quentin Chaney, Fred Strong and Eric Huggins. Several gifted newcomers figure to make a run at playing time as well as the Sooners logged another solid year on the recruiting trail.

At tight end, the Sooners look to Joe Jon Finley as the lone returnee with game experience. Also back are redshirt freshmen Aaron Cummings and converted defensive end Brody Eldridge. The signing period yielded a gem in Jermaine Gresham.

OFFENSIVE LINENew line coach James Patton had just one returning starter among his five at North-western in 2005. He switched jobs, but not circumstances.

He also welcomes back one at Oklahoma (Chris Messner) for his inaugural season with the Sooners, although the scenario is not nearly as bleak as it might appear.

While OU lost Davin Joseph, Chris Chester, Chris Bush and Kelvin Chaisson, all of whom started for a good chunk of the season, there are a number of returnees who earned starts.

Messner was the most consistent player on the line last season, earning his time at right tackle. He will anchor the line in 2006.

Two other returnees who saw significant time last season at tackle are Branndon Braxton, a starter in three games, and George “Duke” Robinson, a primary backup. Both are huge players who appear to have bright futures.

Jon Cooper was outstanding in two starts at center until incurring an injury in game 10 that claimed him for the remainder of the season. He’ll be back and could be a front-runner in the middle.

Otherwise, Patton will be evaluating returning players like Ben Barresi and Cameron Schacht, along with mid-year newcomer Sherrone Moore to see where they fit best. The addition of junior college standout Brandon Walker and several talented high school newcomers should solidify this group.

THE DEFENSE In a season in which Oklahoma made a rare departure from the national rankings, the Sooner defense was probably underrated. With its customary speed and improved secondary play, OU’s defense ranked No. 4 against the rush and No. 13 in total yards.

Similarly, in Big 12 play, the passing defense numbers were glowing. Gone from that unit are two key performers, DT Dusty Dvoracek and SLB Clint Ingram. Both played dynamic roles in production and with their emotional leadership.

Still, Oklahoma returns a lot of speed and experience and should again feature a defense ranked among the nation’s leaders.

DEFENSIVE LINEIt wasn’t enough that Oklahoma lost defensive end Larry Birdine, projected by many as a first-team All-Big 12 player, to a torn biceps in August. The Sooners then lost one of their brightest prospects at the same position, John Williams, to a knee injury in the season opener.

The defensive end position was decimated, right? In numbers, maybe. In performance, no way, thanks to C.J. Ah You and Calvin Thibodeaux.

Ah You was the consensus league defensive newcomer of the year, while Thibodeaux, who entered the campaign with two career sacks, logged a team-leading 10.

Both are back along with Birdine and Williams, redshirt freshmen Brody Eldridge and Auston English and Alonzo Dotson, who sat out last season.

It is not out of line to suggest that Oklahoma’s defensive end situation is as strong as any in the land.

The tackle position took a hit with the loss of Dvoracek, who logged 45 career tackles for loss, the fifth-best total in school history. With Dvoracek and part-time starter Remi Ayodele wrapping up their eligibility, two of the Sooners’ four-man rotation was lost.

Three other players have game experience in Carl Pendleton, Cory Bennett and Steven Cole-man. Pendleton has been a starter for most of his first two years in Norman and he continues to become more and more dominant.

Bennett is a budding standout who appears poised for a breakout season. Coleman has been a steady reserve. His physical maturation is impressive and he figures to press for more playing time in 2006.

Newcomers and redshirts could play an impor-tant role. DeMarcus Granger, Cordero Moore and Brian Simmons redshirted last season and should be factors for OU.

The arrival of Gerald McCoy, the nation’s No. 1 prospect at the position, adds yet another positive dimension.

LINEBACKERSThe team’s top tackler from a year ago, Rufus Alexander, resides here. He will hold down the weak side position and likely make a run at Oklahoma’s fifth Butkus Award.

OU also returns its starter in the middle, Zach Latimer. He ranked second to Alexander in tackles for OU last season.

The lone loss among the starters was on the strong side in the person of Clint Ingram. Nick-named the “ball magnet” by Stoops, Ingram led the team in interceptions last season.

The candidates to replace him and provide the depth at the other positions are many. Demarrio Pleasant started in Ingram’s place last season at UCLA when the latter was slowed by an injury.

Curtis Lofton played last season as a true freshman and will play a more prominent role this time around. Lofton and Ryan Reynolds, who will miss the first half of the season with a knee injury, were two-thirds of a heralded re-cruiting class at the position. The other, Lamont Robinson, redshirted last season.

OKLAHOMA DEFENSE

Page 63: 2006 OU Football Guide

DEFENSIVE BACKSOnly at the receiver positions did Oklahoma utilize more of its talented young players than it did in the defensive backfield in 2005. The most notable was Reggie Smith, who, as a true freshman, spent most of the season as the OU starter at strong safety.

But there were others, and now OU has a talented and more seasoned group along with another talented group of newcomers.

It is an exciting prospect for a secondary that in Big 12 games last season ranked No. 1 in completion percentage defense, No. 2 in pass-ing efficiency defense and No. 3 in passing yardage.

Smith spent the spring moving to cornerback and was impressive. He figures to get one of the starting jobs. On the other side is D.J. Wolfe. He started 11 games and pulled down two interceptions last season. A running back upon his arrival at OU, Wolfe made a smooth transition to the secondary.

Other corner candidates include Marcus Walker, Brian Jackson and converted receiver Lendy Holmes. At safety, look for veteran Jason Carter and redshirt freshman Keenan Clayton in the strong position.

At free safety, starter Darien Williams returns along with sophomore Nic Harris, who made two starts last season as a true freshman.

The athletic quality in the secondary is on the rise. The Sooners have speed at the corners and a physical approach at safety that should compliment nicely.

SPECIAL TEAMSAs with most teams, the discussion regarding special teams typically starts with the kicking game. It’s a 50-50 proposition for the Sooners heading in to 2006. The placekicker enters this third season as the starter, while the punting job will go to a player that has never before played in an OU game.

Garrett Hartley won the placekicking job late in his true freshman season. As a sophomore in 2005, he showed off a big leg that was particularly effective in the kickoff role. In 62 kickoffs, his average boot, including squibs and sky kicks, traveled 58.5 yards and 32 went for touchbacks.

Hartley made 14-of-22 field goals in 2005 with four of his misses coming from beyond 40 yards. His 52-yarder against Texas was the longest by a Sooner in the 100-year history of that rivalry.

Oklahoma looks for a new punter in 2006. The candidates include Hartley, who punted in high school; Mike Knall and junior college transfer Michael Cohen.

Competition will be keen for both the kickoff and punt return positions, but there are several players who bring strong credentials.

Reggie Smith led the team last season in kickoff returns (18) and kickoff return yards (20.9). He is a likely choice to get one of the two spots. The other could go to Allen Patrick. The running back got four tries last season and averaged 17.2 yards per return.

The punt returns were handled by three players last season. The only one of those returning is Lendy Holmes, who averaged 5.9 yards on seven attempts. Smith will get a look at the position and others may give it a go as well.

At deep snapper, Oklahoma looks to replace four-year mainstay Jacob Rice. True freshman tight end Eric Mensik did some long snapping in high school. Another candidate is walk-on Derek Shaw.

QB Hays McEachern took over the holding duties late in 2006, but not until the final game of the season. He is back and provides OU with a steady ball-handler and someone with good athletic skill.

BOB STOOPS HEAD COACH | EIGHTH SEASON | 75-16 (.824) 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 coachbefriended the would-be albatross of OU’s successful past from his first day on campus and remains steadfastly focused on tomorrow and thechampionshipitholds.It falls then to long-time observers and experts of the game to define Stoops’impact.Rarelyhavethepunditshaditsoeasy.UnderStoops,Oklahomahaswon75games; the2000national cham-pionship;spent74consecutiveweeksinthenationalrankings;playedinsevenbowlgames, fourof theBCSvariety; takenpart in threenationalchampionship games and captured three Big 12 crowns.

NORMAN - Oklahoma lost three fumbles, two of which stung mightily, and TCU upset the seventh-ranked Sooners in the season opener for both teams. Backup quarterback Rhett Bomar fumbled while being sacked early in the fourth quarter and the Horned Frogs set up shop at the OU 17. Four players later, Robert Merrill scampered in from two yards out to snap a 10-10 tie and provide the winning points. Oklahoma missed a chance to take the lead in the first quarter when quarterback Paul Thompson fumbled the ball at the TCU four. The Sooners did recover from a 10-0 halftime deficit to tie the score at 10-all, but never held the lead. OU had one final chance with 2:05 left, but Thompson fumbled on a fourth down play with 1:03 left and the Horned Frogs recovered and ran out the clock.

NORMAN - Adrian Peterson carried 32 times for 220 yards and three touchdowns as Oklahoma ran its way to a 31-15 win over Tulsa. The Sooners did not attempt a pass in the second half, but instead rode Peterson, who galloped for 180 of his yards after halftime. The biggest play came with 4:16 remaining when the sophomore bulled over three would-be tacklers on a fourth-and-one play and ran 41 yards for the touchdown that iced the game.

Redshirt sophomore quarterback Rhett Bomar got his first career start. He completed 5-of-13 passes and was intercepted twice while playing wire to wire. D.J. Wolfe spearheaded the defense with 12 tackles. Clint Ingram got an interception for the second consecutive week and returned it 48 yards for a touchdown.

PASADENA - Oklahoma mustered one more yard than its host (398-397), but saw homestanding UCLA turn three Sooner fumbles into 17 points. The result was a 41-24 setback for the Sooners. OU drew first blood on its first series when Travis Wilson ran 56 yards on a reverse. That’s when the turnover problems began. First, Lendy Holmes muffed a punt that UCLA recovered. The Bruins punched in a touchdown, a 19-yard pass, on the very next play. Then, after an Adrian Peterson fumble, UCLA booted a field goal to take a lead it would never relinquish. The upside for Oklahoma was the emergence of quarterback Rhett Bomar. One week removed from a 5-of-13 passing performance against Tulsa, an outing that also included a pair of interceptions, the redshirt freshman hit 20-of-29 with no picks. He also ran 16 yards for a touchdown.

NORMAN - Even without Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma was able to run over Kansas State as the team won its Big 12 opener for the sixth straight year. Peterson rushed for 51 yards and a touchdown before leaving with an ankle injury in the second quarter, putting a damper on Oklahoma’s best offensive performance of the season and 43-21 victory over the Wildcats. Kejuan Jones added two touchdown runs in relief of Peterson, and Rhett Bomar ran for one score and passed for another. The Sooners rushed for 232 yards and held Kansas State to 22. It was the Wildcats’ lowest rushing total since managing only one yard in the 2004 game against OU. Oklahoma played as an unranked team for the first time since 1999.

DALLAS - Oklahoma’s five-game winning streak over Texas came to an end when the Longhorns defeated the Sooners, 45-12, in Dallas. Big plays victimized the Sooners as UT got touchdowns that covered 80, 64 and 67 yards. The 67-yarder was the final score of the game and it came when DL Rodrique Wright scooped up a fumble at the Texas 33 and ran the distance. RB Adrian Peterson, hampered by an ankle injury, did not start the game. He logged three rushes for 10 yards, the lowest output of his career. Three other Sooner running backs saw action in the game and Kejuan Jones drew the start. Garrett Hartley made 2-of-3 field goals, including a 52-yarder. That was the longest ever by a Sooner in the series. Hartley’s miss came on a 41-yarder and resulted after a low snap. OU’s lone touchdown came on a 15-yard pass from Rhett Bomar to Joe Jon Finley.

KANSAS CITY - Oklahoma’s defense stymied Kansas and the Sooner offense hit its stride late in a convincing win over the Jayhawks at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium. The game marked the first time since 1944 that OU had played back-to-back regular season games on neutral fields. On the third play from scrimmage, Oklahoma’s D.J. Wolfe intercepted a Brian Luke pass and returned it 65 yards for a touchdown. Clint Ingram picked off another pass on the very next Jayhawk play and the tone was set. KU managed just 11 yards on 22 rushing attempts and completed just 11-of-30 passes with three interceptions. The total yardage figure for the Jayhawks was just 97 on 52 snaps. Oklahoma struggled on offense until the fourth quarter. At that point, OU got untracked. The highlight came on an 11-play, 92-yard touchdown drive. Rhett Bomar hit Malcolm Kelly for the final 25 and the game-icing score.

LINCOLN - Adrian Peterson came back, and how. The sophomore running back, who had missed all or more than half of the previous four games, rampaged for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries to help Oklahoma past Nebraska, 31-24. It was the Sooners’ first win at Lincoln since 1987. On Peterson’s first rush of the game, he burst up the middle for 36 yards and a touchdown. He later scored from two yards out and then tacked on a 58-yard romp. In the meantime, Oklahoma’s defense was racking up nine sacks, the most allowed by a Nebraska team. Rufus Alexander accounted for three of those. The Sooners intercepted two passes, career firsts for Chijioke Onyenegecha and Dusty Dvoracek. Onyenegecha scooted 63 yards for a touchdown with his pick.

NORMAN - Oklahoma played a dazzling first quarter, then held off a Texas A&M rally to win 36-30 and become bowl eligible for the seventh time in Bob Stoops’ seven seasons. The Sooners, who scored on their first three possessions, roared to a 28-7 lead and still held a 28-14 advantage at halftime. Twice in the second half the Aggies closed to within six, but never got closer. Rhett Bomar had the best passing day of his young career, hitting 20-of-28 passes for 298 yards and one touchdown with one interception. True freshman Malcolm Kelly caught five passes for a career-best 118 yards, and Adrian Peterson rushed 27 times for 135 yards and a pair of TDs. OU’s defense was victimized by the Texas A&M option in the second half, but got a stellar performance from Calvin Thibodeaux, who logged three sacks. The two teams combined for 51 first downs and 959 total yards, and played for three hours and 58 minutes.

NORMAN - Rhett Bomar lofted a 21-yard pass to Juaquin Iglesias on the first possession of the second overtime and Oklahoma defeated Baylor, 37-30. It was the only reception of the game for Iglesias, a true freshman, who hauled in the game-winner from a redshirt freshman. OU dominated statistically, but was plagued by four turnovers and a costly penalty at the Baylor one that turned a touchdown opportunity into a field goal. Fourth-string running back Jacob Gutierrez was brilliant in gaining 173 yards on 30 attempts. His backup, Allen Patrick, added 49 yards on 15 tries. On defense, C.J. Ah You was dominant with five tackles, one sack and two fumbles forced, both of which were recovered by Oklahoma. Kicker Garrett Hartley starred as well, making all three of his field goal attempts, including one at the end of the first OT period that forced the second.

LUBBOCK - Taurean Henderson scored from two yards out on the game’s final play and Texas Tech downed Oklahoma, 23-21. The Sooners had taken their first lead of the game with 1:33 remain-ing when Adrian Peterson ran eight yards, but Tech marched 65 yards to get the game-winner.

The 10-play drive was not without controversy. Three of those plays were reviewed by the replay official. One touchdown call was overturned while the final one was upheld. The victory landed the Red Raiders in the Cotton Bowl, while OU saw its four-game winning streak go by the boards. Peterson scored two of Oklahoma’s touchdowns, while picking up 108 yards on 29 carries. Malcolm Kelly got the other TD on a 13-yard pass from Rhett Bomar.

NORMAN - The 100th renewal of the Bedlam Series was not unlike many of the first 99. Oklahoma rolled past its in-state rival, 42-14, to pick up its 77th all-time win over the Cowboys. This one was lopsided on every front. The Sooners jumped to a 21-0 lead and led by at least 14 for the rest of the game. OU rolled up 560 yards of total offense to just 139 for OSU. Adrian Peterson won Walter Camp National Player of the Week honors for his performance. The sophomore carried 24 times for 237 yards, including touchdown gallops of 84 (career long) and 71 yards. Rhett Bomar was hot, too, throwing for 206 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. For a second straight game, he was not sacked. Oklahoma State managed just 13 rushing yards on 32 rushing attempts and completed only 10-of-27 passes while absorbing four sacks. Rufus Alexander was the top tackler for OU with eight, including four for loss. Fellow linebacker Clint Ingram nabbed his fourth interception of the season.

SAN DIEGO - Oklahoma used an overpowering third quarter to win its first-ever trip to the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, 17-14, over the Oregon Ducks. With just 33 seconds remaining, Sooner linebacker Clint Ingram stretched out for an interception at the Oregon 10 to halt a drive that could have given the sixth-ranked Ducks a tie or the lead. Oregon was forced to a comeback mode after OU’s impressive third period. The Sooners mounted scoring drives of 53 and 74 yards dur-ing that frame while limiting UO to minus 14 yards of total offense. Rhett Bomar, who was not sacked for a second straight game, and C.J. Ah You, who logged two sacks, took offensive and defensive MVP honors, respectively, but the stars were many. Adrian Peterson received a cut on his forehead that required stitches, yet still picked up 84 yards on 23 rushing attempts. True freshmen receivers Malcolm Kelly and Juaquin Iglesias sliced up the Duck secondary with seven catches for 79 yards and five for 85, respectively. The Oklahoma defense, the best his team had seen all year according to Oregon coach Mike Bellotti, was led in tackles by Rufus Alexander with nine.

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.

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 .

What 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!

2004 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 .$65 .million .venture .that .added .8,000 .seats, .including .27 .suites, .on .the .east .side . .Work .was .completed .in .the .summer .of .2003 .

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 . .

An .additional .27 .suites .in .the .new .east .upper .deck .opened .in .time .for .the .2004 .season .bringing .the .total .number .of .suites .to .63 .

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 . .
