2009 Record: 8-5 Big 12 Record: 5-3 2010 Returning Starters: 16: 8 Offense, 6 Defense, Kicker, Punter

Coach: Bob Stoops (Oklahoma and overall: 117-29, 11 years)

Offensive Coordinators: Kevin Wilson Defensive Coordinators: Brent Venables

2010 Oklahoma Players to Watch: QB Landry Jones, RB DeMarco Murray, WR Ryan Broyles, DE Jeremy Beal, DT Adrian Taylor, LB Travis Lewis, FS Quinton Carter

2010 Oklahoma Strengths:
A pair of proven playmakers – Murray and Broyles – are back to carry an offense that should be improved. Defensively, the Sooners boast All-American candidates in Beal and Lewis. The safety position should also be strong with veterans Jonathan Nelson and Carter.

2010 Oklahoma Weaknesses:
An offensive line that never found its footing last season has to replace its best two blockers in Trent Williams and Brody Eldridge. Depth at defensive tackle Is also a concem, especially if Adrian Taylor is slow to return from abroken ankle he suffered in the Sun Bowl.

2010 Oklahoma Offense:

Landry Jones, who nlled in for injured Sam Bradford last year, is back with a year of experience. After an up-and-down season, Jones surged late, tossing for a career-high 418 yards in the Sun Bowl his top two playmakers, running back DeMarco Murray and slot receiver Ryan Broyles, are also both back to aid in the attack. Murray, who has almost 2,500 career rushing yards, will shoulder most of the rushing load. The competition for backup carries will be intense, with Mossis Madu, Jermie Calhoun, Jonathan Miller, Marshall Musil, Brennan Clay and Roy Finch all in the mix. The Sooners should be much improved at receiver, with Broyles leading the way. Last season, the Norman native set a school single-season record with 89 catches, despite missing two games with a fractured shoulder blade. Dejuan Miller, Jaz Reynolds, Brandon Caleb and true freshman Kenny Stills round out the rotation. Trent Ratterree and James Hanna, who both filled in after Jermaine Gresham went down with a seasonending knee injury, will share time at tight end again. Ben Habern, back from a broken nbula, returns as the starting center. The guards will be Stephen Good and Tyler Evans, who combined to log 11 starts last season. Donald Stephenson, suspended last season for off-the-neld reasons, is the projected starter at left tackle, while Jarvis Jones and Cory Brandon will battle at right tackle.

2010 Oklahoma Defense:

Tackle Gerald McCoy, the NO. 3 overall pick in the NFL Draft, will be impossible to replace. But the Sooners have enough pieces left over to form another formidable defense. Up front, end Jeremy Beal is a conference Player of the Year candidate after tallying a team-high 11 sacks last season. Frank Alexander, arguably the team’s most athletic player, will man the other end. The Sooners are young, but talented, at linebacker. Two-time leading tackler Travis Lewis is the lone veteran. The success of the secondary will depend on the transition at cornerback, where the Sooners will be breaking in a pair of nrst-year starters, Demontre Hurst and Jamell Fleming.

2010 Oklahoma Special Teams:

Tress Way is back to handle punts after ranking third nationally with a 45.7-yard average as a freshman. Place kicking, however, remains unsettled. Walkon Patrick O’Hara will begin the year as the starter, after winning the job from Jimmy Stevens midway through last season. Broyles, who ranked third in the country with a 15.9-yard average on punt returns, will be the team’s primary kickoff and punt returner.

2010 Oklahoma Predictions:

With national championship expectations, OU suffered through its most disappointing season in the Stoops era last season. But despite the injuries to many of its stars, the Sooners didn’t quit and won their nnal two games to generate momentum for this season. The schedule is tough again with Florida State, Cincinnati and Texas on the slate. But if the offensive line improves, double-digit wins and big prizes are not out of the question.
