Eric Mensik, recruited as a Tight End/Deep Snapper, with the thought that the more immediate playing time for the young man would be DS.
What?... You mean you weren't recruited as an emergency tackle to fill in on the right side of an unbelievably injury-depleted offensive line?
Cory Brandon, recruited as an offensive tackle, annointed by Merv Johnson as a future superstar (I bought it), and a player who in internet parlance had a season which could only charitably be described as EPIC FAIL.
What?... You mean you didn't imagine you would have to slide over to the inexplicably unfortunate bell-cow's left tackle position and keep a rookie turnover-prone QB's jersey clean all while opening hair-width thin running lanes to squeak out a semblance of a running game?
Well, hell, great job on both counts. THAT was some serious "stepping up."
But don't rest on your laurels, gentlemen. Build on it. OU is going to need some boys with some guts next year. And at least today, you showed you had 'em.
Boomer Sooner!
