Oregon was a good team, but they weren't nearly the dangerous offensive team they were when Kellen Clemens was QB.

Definitely.And the only reason we finished behind Tech is because of an incompetant officiating crew. I think there might have been some relation between that crew and the Super Bowl crew.
Because with the talent and know-how that OU has in football, we're not going to be out for long.You guys finished off the season much better than you started it, but I don't see why Oklahoma should be mentioned in discussions for the national championship.
Rhett Bomar really started maturing at the end of the season, and Peterson was finally healing. Plus the rest of the team is starting to work really well.
I know we're not the favorite for the National Championship, but it's certainly possible.
And a Big 12 Championship is looking really nice now.Comment

The key though is that they won the games they should have down the stretch(except for the Tech game that was stolen). The only offensive playmaker lost is Travis Wilson, who was hurt for most of the second half of the season. Rhett Bomar is maturing into his role as QB and will have another full off-season under his belt. The receiving corps will rival anyone in the country in raw talent and playmaking ability. Not to mention Adrian Peterson at 100%.Originally posted by NJBRONCOSFAN
The O-line is still a bit of a question mark. There are a couple of JUCO transfers that should step in an play right away. But, they won't have JD Runnels as that extra blocker.
The defense should be wicked. The line, even without Dusty will be very stout with two, maybe three really good pass rushers on the ends. The linebacking corps will be one of the fastest in the country. Safeties should be strong and our corners should be more reliable with Marcus Walker coming back.
I see no reason the team shouldn't be "mentioned" in national title conversations. A win at Oregon and in Dallas vs Texas sets up really well for a run at the title.I'm Sooner born and Sooner bred and when I die, I'll be Sooner dead.

Actually, one of the officials in that game lives in Lubbock Texas. Which is where Texas Tech University is located. ...Originally posted by mrsoloSuperintendent Chalmers: "Thank the Lord"?

Darren McFadden, All-American running back (Freshman of the year) for running backs. Runs a 4.33. Ran for about 220 yards against Georgia and set the Arkansas single season record for a freshman. He will be in the pros. Hopefully a Bronco!Originally posted by rcsodak

Peterson is gonna be healthy all year because he is gonna split time in the backfield with newcomer Demarco Murray. They are already saying that he has the freakish athletic ablility that Peterson posseses. An OU insider sight says that they will run 2-back sets with him and Peterson, and sometimes Murray will go out and motion to the slot much like Reggie Bush to create mismatches with linebackers and the secondary. Should be interesting to see, OU's only real questionmark will be the Offensive Line.

Adrian Peterson is going to be a hall of fame NFL player, I have said this since the first time i saw him play. - this is if he doesnt go out to injury. All of his injuries to this point arent anything that comes back to hurt you later so that is not a concern. He is the fastest and best at breaking off contact that I have watched for a long time. I am a Huskers fan and they have a good defense but so far they havent even touched Peterson. I just hope somehow he can make it on the Broncos so I can watch him get a few 2000 yard seasons in the NFL.Comment

When i was over in America(from england guys) i remember reading an article on on Adrian Peterson in EPSN magazine saying watch out, saying in high school he ran like for 500 yards in one half and got taken off at half time, sumin ridiculous like that! Wish i could watch college football over here, but seems like he will be a top pick! u guys reckon he'll declare at the end of the upcoming season? he is going to be a junior right?

Some think he'll stay......Originally posted by Champ.24
...depends on this next season, imo.
If he and the team both rock, and win it all, yeh, he could very well come out.
But if he get's injured again, or doesn't feel he's ready and/or will be prime for the NFL, he could very well stay for another year.
Regardless, they just picked up another top 3 rb this year, so he'll be waiting in the wings....."It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate,
tireless minority keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of

I'd love to see AP in a Broncos Uni.
This kind of talent would get him 1,800 yards his rookie year.
The guy runs with authority and speed with an uncanny cutback ability.Originally posted by boltzpride619

How come his coaches let him run for 500 yards? Usually they're taken out after they've shown their complete dominance. Bad class shown by the coaching staff there.Originally posted by Champ.24
Our Highschool tailback once ran for 197 yards and three touchdowns. So what? you say. He did it on 4 carries.
Too soon, D-Will, too soon.Comment
