From Yahoo Sports: "Some guys are content to get a catch or a first down. I'm not satisfied. I want to score. That's the ultimate goal and I believe I can score on any play. I want to be the best receiver in the nation. I've heard talk about my being the best receiver coming back in the Big 12. That motivates me." Broyles..."

Guerin Emig of the Tulsa World: "Every kicker/punter I have covered as an Oklahoma beat writer has been friendly, goofy and extremely quotable. Hartley, a laid-back Owen Wilson lookalike at OU from 2004-07, was certainly all of those. He was also very, very good, making 47 of his 58 field goal attempts to become..."

Ivan Maisel of ESPN: "Bob Stoops left Steve Spurrier's staff at Florida, and with his mixture of toughness, discipline and pragmatism, he swept Oklahoma to the Big 12 and the national championship in 2000, only his second season in Norman. The Sooners went on to win five more conference titles and finished..."

Tim Griffin of ESPN: " Stoops and Brown have the same number of victories (110) during the decade. Texas actually has a better winning percentage. But Stoops gets the nod because of his consistent coaching excellence with six Big 12 titles over the decade, a national championship in 2000 and an unprecedented..."

From Yahoo Sports: "Oklahoma's Sam Bradford leaves college as the NCAA's career leader in passing efficiency, at 175.62 points. Former Boise State QB Ryan Dinwiddie (2000-03) had held the record at 168.9 points. Florida's Tim Tebow, at 170.79, also bettered Dinwiddie's mark. Bradford also leaves with the..."

From Yahoo Sports: "The Sooners are in better position than most teams to weather their big departures on offense, because they played virtually all of 2009 without stars Sam Bradford and Jermaine Gresham, anyway. The problem: Compared to the '08 juggernaut, scoring decreased by 20 points per game last year..."

Jake Trotter of the Oklahoman: "No news was good news last week for Oklahoma football.

Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman: "Bryan never sought the spotlight, and the spotlight never really found him, even though he twice was named all-American at OU. Bryan was nothing about the glitter and all about the grit. When he left pro football, Bryan returned to his hometown of Coweta and ran a 1,000-acre cattle farm. Hard..."

Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman: "The Sooner defense in 2009 was superb for two reasons: dominant defensive line and shutdown cornerbacks. The D-line still will be good in 2010, but G.K. McCoy's absence will make it less dominant. But now both corners will be gone; Brian Jackson was a senior, and Franks is..."

Ivan Maisel of ESPN: "Injuries and inexperience cost Oklahoma this season. The Sooners should return to the top 10 in 2010. Oklahoma's 31-27 victory over Stanford in the Sun Bowl served as a microcosm of the Sooners' 8-5 season. They dominated the stats, outgaining the Cardinal, 477-262, won the first downs 28-13..."

John Hoover of the Tulsa World: "Linebacker Travis Lewis simply said the Sooners were not going to lose this game.

We played with..."

Dave Sittler of the Tulsa World: "OU quarterbacks coach Josh Heupel, whose bowl-game passing record was broken, said Jones "prepared as well as any quarterback I've been around for a bowl game."

Berry Tramel of the Oklahoman: "Landry Jones' and Ryan Broyles' pitch-and-catch chemistry set records.
