Comparing An Ou Commit To An Ou Legacy

... was so nice, in 2009, when Thompson’s son Kendal announced his intention to come play for Bob Stoops and the Sooners. It wasn’t unexpected, per se. The Southmoore star was really just waiting for the offer. But it was great to see the Thompson family back in crimson and cream after a painful chapter in program history. Of course, we all know how Kendal’s college career ended up. The talented signal caller got lost in the shuffle behind Blake Bell and Trevor Knight and eventually transferred to Utah, where he threw just three touchdowns in two seasons. Now, Kendal’s little brother Casey is coming up through the Southmoore system. But the chances of him staying here for college are slim, mostly because of one guy: Cameron Rising. Rising, the four-star talent from Newbury Park, Calif., should look familiar to Oklahoma fans. His game, and his school’s spread offense, are somewhat reminiscent of Baker Mayfield’s own. Yes, Rising is a traditional pocket passer with a few inches on Mayfield, but he also has the speed to burn careless defenses. And it’s ...

Brad Underwood, Like Baker Mayfield, Knows Bedlam Is Best With A Little Feisty Banter

... “so I had a little fun.”. “I like having fun,” he told me a few moments later. “That’s who I am.”. That’s who we all should be. The best rivalries are the ones with the most give-and-take, both on the scoreboard and the bulletin board. It’s the spice of sports’ life. Underwood struck on both fronts after OSU defeated Arkansas on Jan. 28, two days before going to Norman, when he said Bedlam “hasn’t been much of a rivalry of late.” It was an honest assessment of a rivalry in need of balance — the Cowboys had dropped 17 of 24 in the series at the time, including seven in a row overall and 12 straight in Norman — and it got our attention. Forty-eight hours later, the Pokes played as if it got theirs. Effort, mostly on the boards, carried the night and they won despite shooting 33 percent. It was a Bedlam basketball breakthrough. OSU evened out the series, and Underwood picked up some bonus points with that banter. You know who else it reminds me of? Les Miles. Bedlam football was a little stale when he arrived to both beat the Sooners in 2001 and ’02 and flap his gums feistily. By ’03, Bedlam had caught fire ...

Baker Mayfield Arrested

... mode.). Oklahoma opens its season Sept. 2 against UTEP and then travels to Ohio State in Week 2. Precedents set elsewhere for this type of arrest indicate that Mayfield would miss part or all of the UTEP game but be in uniform against the Buckeyes, but there’s no guarantee how OU will handle this, and it’s what many will be keenly watching. More immediately, the Sooners open spring practice March 21 and their spring game is set for April 8. If Mayfield is held out of any portion of spring ball, note that Texas A&M transfer Kyler Murray is eligible this season for OU. Murray is currently playing for the OU baseball team, however; it’s unclear how he intends to split time between the two sports or if this would alter that plan. One takeaway, should the charges stand, is that it puts a smudge on one of the best stories going in college football. ...

Big 12 Pre-spring Position Rankings

... Texas Tech: With Patrick Mahomes moving on to the NFL, the reins of the Tech air raid will be handed over to Nic Shimonek. The Iowa transfer shined in his lone significant action last season, throwing four second-half touchdowns in a victory over Kansas. Juco transfer Mc Lane Carter , incoming freshman Xavier Martin and Jett Duffey , who was suspended by the university through the summer, round out the unit. 9. Iowa State: After taking over the starting spot from Joel Lanning , Jacob Park played well, throwing 12 touchdowns to just five interceptions. Back as well, Lanning gives Iowa State an experienced backup and a change-of-pace, run-first option behind center. Behind them, the Cyclones also have Zeb Noland coming back from a season-ending knee injury and three-star signee Devon Moore. 10. Kansas: The Jayhawks might be 10 th here for the moment, but they are in better shape at quarterback than they have ...

How Can Kansas State Take Down The Conference Champ

... in recent seasons, defeating the Sooners 31-30 in 2014 and 24-19 in 2012, both times in Norman. Since the last KSU win in this lopsided series, Oklahoma has won 55-0 and 38-17. In all four of the games mentioned above, the Sooners outgained K-State and received solid play at quarterback - be it from Landry Jones , Trevor Knight or Baker Mayfield. What happened, then, in the two Kansas State wins? Notably, it did not commit a turnover and forced five. Kansas State, even in 2017 with the home field against Oklahoma and a slightly smaller talent deficit than the past two seasons, still can’t stand toe to toe with the Sooners and beat them at their game. The Wildcats need to be opportunistic, as in 2012, when they scored an early defensive touchdown, and in 2014, when a late goal-line stand led to a short Oklahoma field-goal miss that could have won it. What’s holding them back? Pretty simply, the ...

Detienen A Prospecto De Draft Baker Mayfield

... estaba tratando de separar una pelea que sucedió antes de mi llegada", señala el informe. "Le pedí que se quedara para tomar su declaración para mi reporte. Estaba gritando groserías y estaba provocando un problema, estaba ebrio, tuvo problemas para bajar un par de escaleras. "Mayfield tenía problemas para hablar y tenía olor a alcohol, su ropa estaba cubierta de comida, le pedí que me acompañara. Cuando le di esa orden, comenzó a alejarse de mí, le pedí que se detuviera y después comenzó a correr, lo perseguí y fue derribado. En el suelo le ordené que pusiera los brazos detrás de su espalda pero mantuvo sus brazos al frente y no me permitió poner sus brazos detrás de la espalda, eventualmente lo forcé y después le puse las esposas". Mayfield, quien jugó para Texas Tech y Oklahoma, terminó su carrera colegial con 741 pases completos para 9,980 yardas y 88 touchdowns. La detención de Mayfield podría comprometer su participación en el Combinado de Talento, que se realizará del 28 de febrero al ...
