Stoops noted 3-and-outs a big achilles heel last year. OU ranked No. 102 in the country in drives that ended without first down/TD.

TE Jermaine Gresham is visiting with the #Packers, per a source. Intriguing option for Green Bay.

Hope Gresham catches on with the Packers. Good fit.
Ditto! Gotta figure Aaron Rodgers would support that hire.
Sure would love to see Gresham end up in Philly too.
Surprised the Eagles aren’t going harder after Gresham
Yeah and don’t forget about Kenny Stills and Adrian Peterson….They’d probably want them too. I hate Philly and they just keep picking up my beloved Sooners!
Hate Philly too. Now we have to cheer for Bradford and Murray. It’s bad enough I have to put up with Dez and Randle. Nothing worse than cheering for a cowpoke or shorthorn.
no doubt….It’s also crazy how 9000 Sooner fans, and 9000 Cowboy fans come together in unison to cheer for a shorthorn at a Thunder game.
hahaha, that’s why I to have drink at the Thunder games. Doesn’t feel right
Worked in Philly a couple of years. Have to say I really liked it. Sure, the city has a chip on it’s shoulder because it gets treated as NY’s stepchild, but the people are the smartest sports fans in the world and very sincere.
Great history, bars, restaurants and pretty good culture.
When I lived there, it was before internet access and before I could afford to fly home to every OU game. There was not a radio station that carried Sooner football in Philly, but was in DC.
The radio station in DC played their own content to people who called and were put on hold, so I made a deal to call the radio station every Saturday and the guy would put me on hold so I could listen to the Sooners.
We became friends and he was great. He’d pick up the phone at halftime and say “How ya doin? OK? Sooners looking sounding pretty good today.”
It’s one of my favorite Sooner memories, actually.
Just to verify, Philly IS NY’s Step child.
LOL, hence the chip.
lol I get it but on a good note at least Philly makes good cheesesteaks!
Oh man! I love them. I worked across from the stock exchange, at 18th & Market, and there was a guy in front of my building with the best steaks. They were outstanding. Like having a brick in your stomach, lol.
Stop it, youre making me want to drive 90 miles down to Philly.
That’s a cool story but I still hate the Eagles. My level of hate 1A. Okie lite 1B. Texas 2. St Louie Cardinals 3. Eagles 4. SEC….I’m not allowed in stoolwater
Ha! My most-hated list is 1. Dallas Cowboys, 2. Texas Longhorns, 3. OsU Cowboys.
I know my Dallas Cowboys are hated and I get it. hahaha
Very cool story….I have nothing personal against the city or people, just a rival to Dallas.
Great story! We do what we can to get our Sooner fix!
love the ‘on hold’ story…very cool.
Great story- where in the uk are you based (I work in Westminster)

Baron, I was in London 1998-2003. We left and moved to Tulsa for a year, then to Hong Kong until 2007, when we moved to Sarasota Florida. We’ve settled in Florida. I keep the name because “I’ll just always be SiL.”
While in London, we lived in Ealing. We were in Fairseat Cottage, Liverpool Road…across from Thames Valley University and around the corner from Ealing Studios.
My daughter was born there and, in fact, we’re taking her back for the first time in August.
Big time NY Giants fan here. Im totally with you on this.
Cool idea but they already have Ertz as a breakout candidate and a veteran in celek.
Not sure but does chip Kelley even uses TE’s that much in his system?
Go Pack Go! We need him! He needs to play with the best QB in the world and help them get to Super Bowl 50.
I hadn’t heard that Palange was leaving. In the old offense, he might have been a beast. I guess the old-fashioned FB just doesn’t fit into the new system.
I was wanting to see if he was as mean as he looks. Best of luck to him.
I like that stat about OU being 102nd in drives that went without a first down or td. If that number jumps up to the top 20 then I think we will see a special season.
I think you could be right…..plus cut down on turnovers while increasing takeaways……
How can you cut down on these? It’s a smile of sugared goodness.

And we might find out that the D isn’t as awful as it seemed last year. Yeah, there were issues with the secondary, but it all looks a lot worse when the O isn’t staying on the field.
Agreed. The D held TCU in check for the most part. Powerful offense.
Ditto, I thought we were going to beat Baylor last year but with a nonexistent Offense, especially in the second half, the Defense just couldn’t do it all by themselves and were just tired and demoralized with so many 3 and outs.
Mostly agree, though I seem to remember TCU’s O converting tons of 3rd and longs that game. Anyone have OU’s rankings for D on 3rd down?
Riley= Creativity = First downs
Agree. I didn’t have any idea it was that bad. For the folks who thought Bob fired the wrong coaches, soak in that stat. Moral killer.
“Moral killer”. Does that mean they’ll start cheatin’ and stealin’?
funny, i was going fast and missed the spelling. thanks for the catch
I didn’t know we were that bad either but I believe that. Add in that we were around 50th in 3rd down conversion % and raise both to top 20 then I would feel great about predicting them to go 11-1
G-Day minus 43
Rod Shoate AA
Ten years before the “Boz” there was 3-time AA Rod Shoate.
The most memorable OU defenses always had a great LB.
https://youtu.be/tRTCefNdcUo
I will always remember Larry Lacewell saying that if freshmen had been eligible, OU would not have lost the 1971 game-of-the-century because Rod Shoate would have played.
Greatest Sooner LB (I like Boz, I like several others – Shoate was/is #1)
Dimitri Flowers. My dude. Hoping he has that Millard stiff-arm down by now.
I hope we see more of Flowers this year.
I do too, but I thought the conventional wisdom was that LR’s offense wasn’t suited to his talents. I was surprised he tweeted that he liked it.
it is kinda if you consider flowers receiving ability, he will probably play more of a tightend role imo.
I expect it will be hard to get Andrews off the field.
So Josh Heupel is taking Joey Palange? I wonder if Josh is running his Zone Read type offense or if he’s going back to his Spread like with Bradford?
Spread
Wasn’t his spread in 08. Wilson won the Broyles award. JH was the QB coach.
Love seeing the offensive players getting stoked about the new offense!!
Great sign indeed
Steve Patterson is to the Texas Longhorns what Donald Trump was to the USFL.
To truly destroy an organization, you have to do it from the inside………..
