THE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD
Saturday, October 12


Roy Williams vs. Andre Woolfolk
B.J. Johnson vs. Derrick Strait
Trent Smith vs. Nathan Vasher
Antwone Savage vs. Rod Babers

In this corner, wearing the all white uniform and checking in at 6-4, 210 pounds – donning Offensive Freshman of the Year honors from 2000. Building on that season, he was tabbed a first-team All-Big12 as a sophomore in 2001 – here he is…Texas wide receiver Roy Williams.

At this corner (literally), wearing the maroon shirt, standing at 6-1, 195 pounds – an All-Big 12 First Team selection…won the Sooner Iron Man Award last year as the top performer on the team in strength and conditioning drills– in the past a two-way performer - Oklahoma cornerback Andre Woolfolk.

Standing at 6-1, 200 pounds, the freshman sensation of 2000 …set a UT freshman record with 41 receptions and another record by catching a pass in 27 consecutive games, give it up for Mr. B.J. Johnson.

Facing him at 5-11 and 194 pounds, the #3 rated cornerback in the nation by The Sporting News, a First Team All-Big 12 selection by every news source available. He has logged five career interceptions (the most on the team) and is a consensus Preseason All-American – let’s hear it for Derrick Strait.

Switching sides while the Sooners have the ball, a man who is the #1 tight end in the country… he led all of the nation’s tight ends with 61 receptions last season. Only one of three 2001 Mackey Award finalists back for 2002. Standing at 6-2 and 250 pounds - Mr. Clutch…Trent Smith.

In the white corner, one of the Big 12’s top cover men, listed on the Thorpe Award’s watch list as the nation’s outstanding defensive back, at 5-10 and 187 pounds, a man who needs no introduction - big senior Rod Babers.

Combining efforts opposite Babers, will be the other facet of the duel Thorpe Award Candidacy in Austin, a Second Team All-Big 12 choice from 2001 who has an interception in three games this season…also tying a school record seven interceptions a year ago. At 5-11, 180 pounds – put your hands together for Mr. Nathan Vaaaaaasher.

Attempting to crack this Longhorn secondary in the maroon corner, a man who was the first of four current OU players to break the school record for career receptions. He is #8 on the All-Time Big 12 list with 127 catches – at 6-0, 190 pounds, Antwone “the ravage” Savage.

LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!
