| Quarterback Blake Bell |
As I explained in the preface regarding Texas’ low ranking, I would find it shocking if the Sooners actually finish as low as #24 but I could only give OU six definite wins. On the bright side I didn’t give OU any definite losses as I have them 6-0-6.
Obviously, OU’s biggest adjustment is going to be at quarterback where touchdown vulture Blake Bell (aka The Belldozer) will replace Sooner all-time leading passer Landry Jones. Bell, who is best known for his short yardage running skills and strength will attempt to show the college football world that he’s adept at tossing the ball as well and will have a veteran line and some promising backs and receivers to aide him. Center Gabe Ikard is a preseason candidate for the Raiola Award and Damien Williams is a large talented back who had 946 yards and 11 TDs rushing in 2012.
The defense returns only three starters and will need to develop quickly in the first three games before facing Tommy Rees and the Fightin’ Irish Sept. 28 in South Bend. Cornerback Aaron Colvin and linebacker Corey Nelson’s experience will be critical in getting the rest of the defense to come around.
I have the Sooners starting with wins against Louisiana Monroe, West Virginia and Tulsa before push games at Notre Dame, vs. TCU and vs. Texas in Dallas. Down the stretch I have the Sooners beating Kansas, Texas Tech and Iowa State with push games at Baylor, at Kansas State and at Oklahoma State.
