What happened in Norman? The NFL Draft is what happened, and too many new players attempting to take over kept OU from gelling. The odd part of this equation is that while 2006 will be better, holes still exist…in particular on the offensive side. The great true freshman campaign of Adrian Peterson may prove difficult to repeat as the offensive line continues to lose hats to graduation. In the process, young QB Rhett Bomar has also discovered his own problems - football life without a superior rushing attack. His one-to-one TD-INT ratio (nine of each) reeked havoc and bore their inept offense. Don't make the mistake of discounting the Peterson factor, however. He is still a guaranteed 1000-yard rusher under any circumstance, even while fighting through injury. The Sooners still seem to be lacking a big time receiver. And although the QB play had a large hand in this equation, Malcolm Kelly emerged as the top receiver as just a freshman. Outside of Kelly, no one else on the '06 roster managed to collect more than 14 receptions. The good news: Oklahoma should see a better product defensively. The LBs get back to being one of the more dominant units in the Big XII, and the secondary is loaded with highly-touted prep stars just now becoming familiar with the system. In a nutshell, for Oklahoma to improve on a four-loss season, the OL will have to regroup and rebuild, the QB play will have to improve two-fold, and the young stars will have to live up to their hype. For now, Oklahoma will play second fiddle to Texas in the South Division, quite the opposite of what OU was doing to Texas for years. One thing is certain - expectations this time around are not the same as what the folks in Norman have become accustomed to since 2000. Less pressure looks like the best medicine.
