(12/23) Sooner's Off to San Diego, Heupel Back, and columns
Sooner's off to San Diego: The Sooners leave for San Diego, Calif., today with what Bob Stoops believes is a well-prepared team, most of his players back in good health and the possible addition of defensive end Larry Birdine. Birdine tore the biceps in his left arm in August and has not played. But Stoops said his recovery is ahead of schedule, and the staff is going into the Holiday Bowl with the idea Birdine could be available for spot duty if the medical staff believes he is healthy.

Heupel back with Sooner's: Josh Heupel, who quarterbacked Oklahoma to the national championship in 2000, is returning to the Sooner football program as quarterbacks coach. OU head coach Bob Stoops made the announcement Thursday. Heupel comes back to his alma mater after spending one season as the tight ends coach at Arizona. Before going to UA, Heupel spent two season as a graduate assistant at Oklahoma. His hiring fills the vacancy that was created when Chuck Long became the head coach at San Diego State. "I'm extremely excited about being back here and being a part of this football program and university," said Heupel. "It was a great opportunity for me to come back and coach quarterbacks. That's something I definitely want to get back to in my career as a coach, and there’s not a better place to do that than right here." Kevin Wilson will take over Long’s duties as offensive coordinator, but will remain with the offensive line. Heupel will take over the duties Long vacated as quarterbacks coach.
