I don't know, there are a couple of other Freshman recievers starting and Bomar the QB is a red shirt Freshman. I believe that if you are going through a tough season you might as well go through it with your youngsters so that they get the opportunity to get game experience and gel as a unit for future greatness.

thats true. another true freshman reciever, malcolm kelley from longview, is playing lots also. the sooners really pulled an etex coup on recievers. may have got the 2 best in texas last year.

I think you're right.

I heard this tonight:

OU has 9 new starters on offense from last season and 15 starters moved on, 10 of those were drafted. No wonder they are struggling so.

Even with those staggering numbers, you would think OU would reload, not rebuild.

Bomar did better tonight and Baylor, wow, what a turn-around. Could they possibly beat Tech next week in Waco????

I think OU would be so much better off this season if they had a QB that wasn't learning on the job. The last 3 QB's were at least Juniors before they took snaps as the starter in a game.
