Coach: Bob Stoops (9th year at Oklahoma)
Team Name: Sooners
2006 Overall Record: 11-3
Returning Starters: 15
The Oklahoma Sooners (11- 3 overall, 7- 1 Big 12) finished first in the Big 12 and then beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers 21- 7 to secure the conference crown. They met Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl and lost in OT 42- 43. The Sooners are almost always good for around 10 wins each season. Their consistency makes them almost a shoe-in for a bowl bid.
Oklahoma scored an average of 30.3 PPG, ranking them 19th in the nation. Senior RB Allen Patrick (169 CAR, 761 YDs, 4.5 AVG, 4 TDs) and sophomore RB Chris Brown (70 CAR, 343 YDs, 4.9 AVG, 6 TDs) will replace top back Adrian Peterson, who left early for the NFL. Junior WR Malcom Kelly (62 REC, 993 YDs, 16.0 AVG, 10 TDs) is the team's best big-play guy and rock solid. The offensive line is the toughest and best in the entire conference. All of this helps with the fact that the team will have a new quarterback who is unknown and relatively inexperienced. It could be junior Joey Halzel or freshman Sam Bradford.
The Sooners defense limited opponents to 17.3 PPG, also ranking them 19th. Their defense attacks and attacks and attacks. The frontline is inexperienced and the biggest question mark. The secondary is exemplary, led by FS Nic Harris (68 tackles, 40 solo, 4 INTs). The LBs are always the toughest on this team. Junior Curtis Lofton at WLB is the returning starter on the squad.
The Oklahoma program and fans are about national championships. In the last eight seasons, they've played in five BCS bowl games and competed for three national championships. But this team has some unknowns at QB and on defense. Their swing game is against Texas—that will decide the Big 12 South championship. Miami will be no cakewalk, while Oklahoma State would love to upset their rivals in the final regular season game. When you're as revered as the Sooners, everyone wants to beat you.
