DeMarco Murray News

Bowl Season is preceded by Speculation Season. And Speculation Season can make for strange alliances with many of those alliances based on speculation.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops is ever the stiff upper lip, a philosophy that has been sorely tested this season.

On ESPN GameDay Saturday morning, the dreamiest analyst in college football, Kirk Herbstreit, humiliated one of the sport's proudest programs.

DeMarco Murray ran for two touchdowns, Ryan Broyles returned a punt 88 yards for a score and Oklahoma knocked No.

Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops admits it's an odd feeling going into Bedlam without a shot at getting into the Big 12 championship game.

By MIKE JONES NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahoma is uncharacteristically not ranked, out of the BCS championship picture, no longer in the running for a fourth consecutive Big 12 championship and looking at the worst regular-season record in Bob Stoops' years as the Sooners' coach.

Contrary to some swirling rumors, Texas Tech coach Mike Leach said he's not available for another job now or any time in the foreseeable future.

He probably never went away, but the Aggie defense ranks just 104th nationally, compared to the Huskers, who are in college football's top 10.

Well, that's one. Albeit a really big one. So why am I having trouble believing Oklahoma's football team may have finally found itself in this one win? Did the Sooners really figure out their identity in Saturday night's 65-10 whipsawing of Texas A&M? I'd like to say yes, but I've seen this Jekyll-and-Hyde act from the Sooners for weeks.

A few weeks ago, a sportswriter crunched the numbers and concluded Texas Tech might beat Texas A&M by 100 points that weekend in Lubbock.

Oklahoma's much-maligned, injury-decimated offensive line was the subject of postgame praise from Sooner players and coaches late Saturday night.

None of Oklahoma's players can claim many happy memories from playing at Texas Tech.

Running back DeMarco Murray says he won't decide until the end of the season, but he expects to return to Oklahoma for his senior season.

Well, this one could be exciting. The Oklahoma Sooners travel down to Lubbock to take on Texas Tech, and their Air Raid offense, Saturday for a morning kick-off. This one scares me.

Saturday night at Owen Field, a troubled offense turned to one of its proven weapons.

MIKE JONES NORMAN, Okla. - Well, at least Oklahoma's bowl-eligible-making 65-10 victory over Texas A&M may soothe the savage beasts for a few days.'I was really proud of the effort of our players and the way they worked through the week and came out and played an excellent football game,' coach Bob Stoops said.The unrest in the Sooner nation last ...

A week after throwing five interceptions, Landry Jones passed for a career-high 392 yards and five touchdowns - two to DeMarco Murray - as Oklahoma became bowl-eligible with a 65-10 rout of Texas A&M on Saturday night.

Injury bombshells keep rocking the Oklahoma football program. On Tuesday, Bob Stoops announced that yet another starting offensive lineman, sophomore Jarvis Jones, is out for the season.

Oklahoma reached Nebraska territory in both of its final two possessions Saturday night, and coach Bob Stoops said if the Sooners had scored, they most likely would have gone for the win with a two-point conversion.
