Oklahoma Sooner's Notes and Articles

Titans Draft Jones in Supplemental: The Tennessee Titans used next year's 3rd round pick in order to draft Brandon Jones in this year's NFL supplemental Draft. It is unusual for NFL teams to use such a high draft pick when selecting players in the supplement draft, especially when the player in question wasn't even a full time starter in College. Brandon Jones played four seasons for the Oklahoma Sooners. He was a part time player who amassed a modest 82 catches for 1,187 yards and 14 touchdowns during his collegiate career. Those numbers would hardly warrant a 6th or 7th round pick during the regular NFL draft, but the Tennessee Titans see something special in this 6'1' 210 pound receiver. Jones was a two sport player at Oklahoma. He only played two seasons of baseball, then decided to focus solely on football. Unfortunately, he was competing for playing time with the likes of All-America Mark Clayton and 2nd round NFL draft pick Mark Bradley. That didn't bode well for Jones, especially because of Oklahoma's propensity to run the football.(titans.realfootball365.com)

College Football News released their Big XII preview few tidbits:

5 fearless predictions for the Big XII

2. This really is the year Texas will beat Oklahoma, but the Longhorn's dream Big XII season will take a big hit in a loss at Texas A&M to close out the regular season. O.K., you win. When October 8th rolls around I'll probably wuss out and end up picking OU to win.

5 best Big XII pro prospects
1. Oklahoma RB Adrian Peterson, Soph. - Seldom do overhyped super-recruits live up to expectations, much less exceed them, but Peterson was everything and more as the best young back college football has seen since Herschel Walker. All Peterson did was rush for 1,925 yards and 15 touchdowns averaging 5.7 yards per carry starting off his career with nine straight 100-yard games. He's 6-2 and 210 pounds with 4.4 speed and linebacker strength. He's not going to offer much wiggle through the line, but he hits the hole hard and is a killer when he gets outside. The he-gets-better-as-the-game-goes-on cliché applies here, be he needs a little more help after pounding the ball between the tackles for most of last year and finishing with a whopping 339 carries.. He isn't much of a receiver, but that's looking for a problem that isn't there. Find more of the Big XII Preview at College Football News.
