(4/4) Coach Stoops on Offense and Scrimmage
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles/Notes
No surprises for Coach Stoops in 2nd scrimmage: Asked if he saw anything new from watching film of Saturday's scrimmage - the second of the spring session - Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said it was basically what he expected. "Very much like I thought after the game," Stoops said after Monday's practice. "I very much believe defensively we're just so much further along - it's not even close - than a year ago. And it's a little unfair to the offense because we're constantly going against each other and there's so much recognition in what (the defense) is seeing. It's not like the offense can put in a new play without them knowing. (NewsOK.com)
Sooner back to practice: Oklahoma marked its ninth session of the spring at the Bud Wilkinson practice facility on Monday afternoon in Norman. The Sooners practice again on Wednesday and Friday before the annual spring game in the stadium at 1 p.m., Saturday. ESPN will carry the game live to the nation. On Monday, OU head coach Bob Stoops reiterated his appraisel of Saturday's scrimmage. "It was like I thought," he said. "I believe that defensively we're just so much farther along than we were a year ago. But it's a little unfair for the offense. We go against each other every day and there is so much recognition for the defense. (Sooner Sports Release)
Stoops on the Offense: "They're coming along and getting better. The offensive line is getting a lot of reps and we can see the improvement."Stoops cited QB Rhett Bomar for his execution of long throws during Monday's workout and also pointed to continued improvement by WR Quentin Chaney. "Quentin has been more consistent," Stoops said. "He's finishing plays stronger. He should be a big, physical presence for us."
Sooners Defense works in Dime formation: OU's secondary worked with five defensive backs in its dime package Monday for the first time this spring. Starting cornerback Reggie Smith moved to safety in the dime package, while converted-receiver Lendy Holmes played a corner spot with the first-team. "It looks good," Stoops said of the use of Smith and Holmes. "Lendy right now has probably been the most consistent out there making plays. It was our first day working it, but it looked good."
