OU Football Ranks Last In Graduation Rates

Oklahoma's football graduation rates ranks last in Big 12: Oklahoma's football team had the worst graduation rates in the Big 12 under the most recent data released by the NCAA. According to figures released Wednesday by the NCAA, only 45 percent of the football players who enrolled at Oklahoma between 1999 and 2002 earned their degrees within six years. That period coincides with coach Bob Stoops' first four years as the Sooners' head coach. Federal data that does not factor in players who transfer or enroll at mid-year puts Oklahoma's graduation rate for that period at 37 percent, also the lowest in the Big 12. (AP/KFSM)

Murray 'Pretty Sure' He'll Return In 2010

Murray expects to return in 2010: Running back DeMarco Murray thinks he wants to return for his senior year. "That's just something that my family and I will look into," Murray said. "But I'm pretty sure I'll be back here next year." He has thought about his future, though, and for now, the Academic All-American would rather spend 2010 in Norman than in an NFL rookie camp. "I like it here," he said. "I don't want to end my career at OU with an 8-4 record or whatever. So just trying to get better. And I just enjoy being here. I'm part of a great team here; I love the coaching staff, things like that. I love the camaraderie with my teammates. It's just a great atmosphere." (Tulsa World)

Walk-On O'Hara Might Start At Kicker

After a season of woes on special teams, Oklahoma will likely start another at kicker. Patrick O'Hara, walk-on from Kansas, took over kicking duties from Tress Way and Jimmy Stevens in Oklahoma's win Saturday night against Texas A&M.

On Tuesday, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops commented on if O'Hara would start Saturday at kicker against Texas Tech.
"We'll see. Again, ongoing battle here through the week. Patty O'Hara looked pretty good there toward the end. We'll see if he can maintain consistency here through the week. He's traveled all year. I've always had him ready for real long ones, he's got a real strong leg. He just occasionally loses control of it at practice. But he's been more and more consistent and I like what he did Saturday night. He looked good yesterday."
In Saturday's game, O'Hara kicked a pair of extra points and 26-yard field goal, including a 62-yard field goal during Saturday's pregame warm-ups.

O'Hara was thrilled at the opportunity to kick for the Sooners, when asked, he described it as "an incredible experience," O'Hara replied.
