2009 OU Football Preview: Running Backs/Fullbacks

Jermie Calhoun, #23, was impressive in the spring and looks to make his mark as a Sooner running back in 2009.

Jermie Calhoun, #23, was impressive in the spring and looks to make his mark as a Sooner running back in 2009.

 

In addition to a Heisman winning quarterback, the nation’s top tight end and at least one game breaker at receiver (tight ends & receivers preview coming next) Oklahoma also returns two 1,000 yard running backs. The significance of this is that the Sooners return 100% of their rushing yards in 2009, along with every significant passing yard, to make up one of the top backfields in the country.

 

The most intriguing aspect of Oklahoma’s backfield in `09 may be the development of redshirt freshman Jermie Calhoun. He’ll start the season #3 on the depth chart and will most likely remain there all season but the coaching staff will look for as many opportunities as possible to get him on the field.

Spanning The Decades Of Sooner Football: 1940’s

 

Oklahoma football officially started in 1895 with a humbling 34-0 loss to Oklahoma City. That season was only one game long but even with the loss the Sooner Monster was born. Two years later the team got its first official head coach, Vernon Lewis Parrington. Over the next four seasons Oklahoma went 9-1-2 before Parrington resigned to pursue a career as an educator and eventually became a Pulitzer Prize winner.

 

Even with the departure of Parrington the monster continued to grow. In 1904 OU won the first ever Bedlam match 75-0, in 1905 OU beat Texas for the first time and in 1911 the Sooners experienced their first undefeated season, going 8-0. Over the next 29 years Oklahoma football would grow stronger and stronger until the decade of the 1940’s where OU emerged as a perennial college football powerhouse.

In a bit of a surprise, not to me, but people who have been following NBA mock drafts, Taylor Griffin was just selected with the 48th pick by the Phoenix Suns.

Obviously, Taylor will probably play for Phoenix now, rather than going to the Globetrotters. Nevertheless, he's still probably had a very busy couple of days.

We'll have more on these two stories in a bit, but since it was unexpected breaking news, I figured we'd keep you posted!

2009 OU Football Preview: O-Line

 

The gauntlet has been thrown down for Oklahoma’s offensive line. Who knows what is being said behind closed doors but among the general public and most media outlets the `09 Sooners are only going to be as good as the offensive line allows them to be. Fair or not, that is the challenge set forth for a unit that will feature four new starters. At first glance its logical to be concerned going into the season but taking a closer look at the guys up front should shed new light and confidence in the line.

Like it on not the Oklahoma State Cowboys are on the rise in the Big 12 and much of the credit for their sudden surge of success is Dez Bryant. Last season Bryant finished second nationally with 19 touchdown receptions and third in the country in both yards per game (113.9) and yards per punt return (17.94). He was a first team All-American and first team All Big 12 as well as the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year.

Trayvon Henry Commits To Sooners

 

Oklahoma received some good recruiting news over the weekend when Millwood (OKC) linebacker Trayvon Henry committed to play football for the Sooners. Rivals has Henry ranked as the nation’s 15th ranked middle linebacker. Listed at 6-2/220, Henry received scholarship offers from Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Louisville, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech and Tulsa.   

 

Interesting Twist: After being listed as committed on Friday, Rivals now has Henry listed as having medium interest in the Sooners and a low interested in the other schools.

Defensive End Terry Franklin Fails To Qualify

Looks like he was going to be a project anyway but you hate to see guys not make it. Hopefully he can get things straightened up in junior college and join the team next summer.

"It’s too bad," said Legacy coach Chris Melson, who played quarterback at OU in the late 1980s to early 1990s. "He graduated, but his grades needed to be higher."
