(7/21) OU Favored by Big XII Media

Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes

Sooners ahead of Longhorns in South Preseason Poll: With 13 starters back from an 8-4 team, Oklahoma was voted the 2006 preseason pick to win the Big 12's south division in a poll of media members. The Sooners received 23 first-place votes -- 18 more than defending national champion Texas -- and 163 total points in the poll that was released by the conference Thursday. The Longhorns, with 144 points, were picked second in the South. Nebraska was the choice in the North with 160 points and 21 first-place votes. Iowa State (5) and Colorado (2) also received first-place votes in the North. (NewsOK.com)

Pair of Sooners tabbed Preseason Player of the Year: Adrian Peterson (Oklahoma) was named Preseason Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season and Rufus Alexander (Oklahoma) was selected Preseason Defensive Player of the Year in a Big 12 Conference media poll. Peterson is a two-time All-Big 12 First Team selection and was 2004 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer and Freshman of the Year. The 6-2, 210, junior running back finished second in the league in rushing last season and led all running backs with 1,108 yards and a 100.7 yard per game average despite missing nearly four games with an ankle injury. Alexander was also an All-Big 12 First Team selection in 2005 after leading the Sooners in total (102), unassisted (56) and assisted (46) tackles. The 6-1, 231, senior linebacker also had 14.5 (-51) tackles for loss, five (-36) sacks, nine pass breakups and nine quarterback hurries last season. He was seventh in the Big 12 in tackles per game (8.5). (SoonerSports Release)
