Calm down: Week 1 was not normal
By JASON COLLINGTON World Staff Writer
9/13/2006

Rule No. 1: Don't expect what happened in Week 1 to happen the rest of the year.

Except:

The Ravens will continue to win. Don't know about big fantasy numbers on offense, but the defense looks like it's ready to carry this team like it did when Baltimore won the Super Bowl. Some reports say Bucs QB Chris Simms whimpered after some of the hits he took.

The Titans will continue to lose. Kerry Collins is still the starter, and QB Vince Young will be used "in isolated instances." Right now, that means whenever the Titans need to throw an interception. Scary situation.

The Chiefs are doomed. Just think, the Chiefs wanted Herm Edwards and his offensive ways. Trent Green is gone until at least Week 4. Damon Huard was the backup for a reason. Wednesday in fantasyland is usually the last day to make claims on free agents. Here are some possibilities if you embarrassed your family with your performance in Week 1.


Pick Me

Chad Pennington, QB, Jets: He's good at throwing the ball five to 15 yards. Looks like his coaches accept that and have tuned the offense accordingly.

Correll

Buckhalter, RB, Eagles: Everyone who has Brian Westbrook knows he could go down anytime. Buckhalter, who had 50 yards on just eight carries in Week 1, is primed to bust out if given the chance. If anything, he's good insurance for the inevitable.

Nate Burleson, WR, Seahawks: He'll get cut by a bunch of people for his one-catch premiere. But remember, Darrell Jackson is playing on one knee and Deion Branch is only a great No. 2 receiver. Also, the Seahawks didn't spend $49 million on Burleson to have him stand on the sideline all season.

Vernon Davis, TE, 49ers: He might have gone too high in drafts this year, but if he's available, he looked like a man among boys in his first game. It was against Arizona, but the 49ers look like they have a run attack good enough to throw the ball.

Jeff Wilkins, K, Rams: He went 6-for-7 on field goals. Plays the 49ers next.

San Diego D: Welcomes Tennessee to its home field. The Titans might stop throwing the ball in the second quarter.


Drop Me

Any Raider: Who's idea was it to have an offensive coordinator fresh from running a bed and breakfast in Idaho? You were warned, and now you need to live with the reality: Go to an A's game for any action.

Any Packer except Donald Driver: The coach looked like he was reading a lunch menu the whole game. No soup for you. Come back, two years.

Any Titan except for Travis Henry: The obvious need not be explained.


Parting shots

Don't freak out if you were blown out in Week 1. A couple of one-week wonders went off. Any veteran fantasy player will tell you to keep studying and filling the holes on your roster. Keep looking at the box scores. Game balls given this week won't go to the same people next week.

Coaches have faith in Holmes

Ex-wideout will start at cornerback against Oregon.
NORMAN -- Oklahoma cornerback Lendy Holmes did just fine in his defensive debut against Washington last week.

Now comes the hard part, a road trip to Oregon.

"This is a little different beast," OU co-defensive coordinator Bobby Jack Wright said. "Oregon is a very, very good football club. They've got some strong weapons. They've got four or five really good receivers."

Holmes, making his first career start one week after replacing D.J. Wolfe in mid-game, will draw one or two of them. He must defend against both the Ducks' passing game and the Ducks' fans, expected to be among the most hostile OU will face all year.

It is a challenge. However, the Sooners expect Holmes to meet it.

"He's not a guy that's very weak-spirited," head coach Bob Stoops said. "He doesn't get down. He's what you'd call kind of a scrapper. Resilient. To me, he's got a lot of fight in him."

A lot of confidence, too.

"God gave me the ability to be this talented," Holmes said. "I'm just using it at corner."

For his first two years at OU, Holmes used his talent at wide receiver before switching last spring to provide secondary depth.


At Dallas South Oak Cliff High School, Holmes was somewhat of a marvel. He played quarterback, often throwing passes with both arms, running back, receiver and free safety. He caught a couple touchdown passes in the DFW Coca-Cola All-Star game, and made a couple tackles during the U.S. Army All-American Bowl.

Then there was basketball season.

"He'll shoot 3-pointers with his left hand and make as many with his right," Stoops said.

Holmes was an all-district hoopster, but football was his meal ticket. Then-OU wide receivers coach Darrell Wyatt scooped him up and brought him to Norman. Two years later, secondary coach Wright scooped him up and brought him to the other side of the ball.

"He's just got a little something about him," Wright said. "We saw it in the spring, and we saw it again in two-a-days this fall. He's got some toughness about him, some confidence."

When word came that Holmes was switching last spring, a close friend approached him to make sure he was doing all right.

"He told me, 'Fred, it's not even that hard.' " OU wide receiver Fred Strong recalled. " 'All I'm doing out there is running fade routes.'

"I was like, 'Oh, really?' He said, 'Yeah, man, that's exactly what it feels like. That's all you gotta think about. Just go out, be physical and attack the ball.' "

It's a mind-set Holmes must bring with him to Oregon, where he'll be attacking the ball and Duck wideouts like Jaison Williams and Garren Strong as well. He wasn't challenged like that in his two quarters against Washington.

Still, the Sooners liked what they saw.

"Lendy came in and gave us some consistency," Wright said. "He kept all the routes underneath him, didn't let anybody behind him. It gave him a lot of confidence, because he's never played (defense) in a game."

Actually, it gave Holmes more confidence. He had plenty to begin with, based on his busy athletic career, and he doesn't plan on Oregon receivers or Autzen Stadium changing his disposition.

"All my life I've been around big crowds. It's not a thing to me," Holmes said. "I just love to play the game of football. That's what I'm there for, not the crowd. I'm just there to play football."

Owls coach mum about year at OU
By MATT DOYLE World Sports Writer
9/14/2006

View in Print (PDF) Format



*************** looks forward, not dwelling on his past.
Ask Howard *************** about building Florida Atlantic University's football program, and the 72-year-old loquacious coach will provide endless details.

Ask *************** about reflections of 1995 as the University of Oklahoma head coach, and he turns quiet and gives a simple answer.

"None," he said.

The same type of response is given when asked if he will get sentimental this weekend upon returning to the Sooner State for the first time since his Dec. 18, 1995, firing at OU. ***************'s Owls travel to Stillwater for a 6 p.m. game against Oklahoma State.

"No, not really," *************** said firmly.

While he was at OU, he said books would be written and movies made about his tenure. He turned programs at Miami and Louisville that were in shambles upon his arrival into winners. He is trying to do the same at Florida Atlantic, a commuter school in Boca Raton, Fla., that did not start playing football until five years ago.

If any books or movies about *************** are released in the future, his 367 days as OU coach will be a short and sour chapter. It's a blemish that he flat-out refuses to discuss.



The Sooners' 5-5-1 season in 1995, coupled with allegations of alcohol use and player abuse against the veteran coach, led to his sudden ouster.

OU gave *************** what he didn't have at his disposal in Miami and Louisville. OU's decades of tradition, rabid fan base, facilities and financial resources made ***************'s popular "collision course with the national championship" phrase plausible.

To Gary Nord, it was a "darn shame" *************** did not get more than one year to implement his program at OU.

Nord worked for Schnellenbger for 10 years at Louisville and the one season in Norman before rejoining his mentor two years ago at Florida Atlantic. Nord said the OU experience never comes up.

"It's just part of this crazy profession. When you see some crazy things happen in this profession, you kind of expect them, move on and forget about them," said Nord, Florida Atlantic's offensive coordinator. He held that job title at OU 11 years ago.

"It's part of the business, unfortunately. You've got administrators a lot of the times that don't really understand what needs to take place to make it a very solid program. It's a darn shame."

Instead of reflecting on the past, *************** puts his energy into his latest building project. After getting appointed as director of football operations in the spring of 1998, *************** spent the next two years convincing the Florida Legislature that the state needed another college football program and securing the financial backing to make it happen.

At the urging of then-school president Anthony Catanese, *************** also appointed himself the program's first coach in the summer of 1999. Catanese felt that ***************'s name in South Florida and across the country would give the infant program immediate credibility.

The journey has been difficult. The Owls played their first four seasons, 2001-2004, as a NCAA Division I-AA member and posted a 26-21 record. Wins over Hawaii and North Texas gave *************** the feeling his program was ready for the climb into NCAA Division I-A.

But the leap into Division I-A has been a reality check. Florida Atlantic went 2-9 last year and started this season with crushing losses at Clemson (54-6) and Kansas State (45-0). Following this week's game at OSU, the Owls play next week at South Carolina.

The brutal four-game opening stretch will net Florida Atlantic $1.8 million. It also represents the steps a program must take to reach its goals.

"We're light years away from where Miami and Louisville were when we got there. There's a difference in creating a team than fixing a team," *************** said. "We recognize that this year at this time (in the program's development), that we are going through, maybe premature in thinking that we could have a chance to win, but we do feel that way. It may be unlikely (winning). The big thing is that we go out and play as well as we can play, learn as fast as we can learn over the long haul -- it will be helpful in developing."

The development is far from over. But seeing contemporaries like Florida State's Bobby Bowden and Penn State's Joe Paterno still coaching at age 76 and 79, respectively, gives *************** perspective that he is in it for the long haul. Nord doesn't doubt that one bit.

"He has a real love for the game and I'm afraid when he ever quits this, he will have nothing to live for," Nord said. "That's why I hope he keeps coaching as long as he can. Then they can bury him on the field when that time ever comes. Hopefully, it will be a long time from now."

World Picks: Picker delays his busy schedule for Q&A session
By TULSA WORLD PICKER
9/14/2006

View in Print (PDF) Format


An unnamed source interviews us.

Q: What's up with OU's defense?

A: Yardage.

Q: Isn't it exciting because the OU-Texas game now appears to be a toss-up?

A: OU at Missouri is a toss-up. So is OU at the Aggies.

Q: Who are the candidates for Bust of the Year?

A: They are as follows:

The old South Carolina ball coach, whose team just threw up a Life Saver at home (a zero).

Arizona coach Mike Stoops, whose offense is dry as the Tucson landscape.

Dallas quarterback Bledsoe, who has been sacked more than cans of beans.

Humorless Cowboy coach Parcells.

The Oakland Raiders, whose end zone fans should stow the spikes and put on skirts.

The Kansas City Chiefs, who must be jinxed.

Fat old NFL referees, whose rotten calls continue to produce undeserving winners.

The Washington Redskins, whose owner sees nothing wrong with has-beens.

The Fox NFL shows which, without James Brown, didn't play like train wrecks -- they were more like garbage truck wrecks.



Q: What best summarizes OSU's start?

A: Not on TV.

Q: Was BYU over Tulsa the only game you hit last week?

A: Calls of the wild are killing us.

First, the Oregon coach fakes a field goal for no reason whatsoever to knock us out of our Fresno pick.

Then a referee cannot see a 600-pound defender -- or so it seemed -- almost eliminate the Kansas City quarterback on an obvious low blow.

Then a referee calls an invisible offensive pass interference on the Giants to let Indy get out.

If you can live with these cheap victories, that's your business.


The Picks

COLLEGE


Oklahoma at Oregon (-3): After how many missed tackles does the possibility exist that maybe those guys can't tackle?

Couple of quarterback Thompson's ducks could freeze these Ducks.

Style points aside, Thompson is playing great.

OU radio homers on the Sports Animal report with glee that Oregon needed the late fake field goal to defeat Fresno State.

Truth is, Fresno could defeat a combined team from UAB and Washington.

Don't adjust your set, Oregon's uniforms are meant to unsettle the opposition by mixing shades of honey and guacamole.

Nike has designed more than 300 possible uniform combinations for the Ducks.

All in questionable taste or downright ugly. Take your pick.

Oregon by 11.

North Texas at Tulsa (-19): Back to square one for TU?

No such luck.

After the BYU TKO, TU needs to move ahead to square one.

TU by 20.

Florida Atlantic at Oklahoma State (-27 1/2): Wouldn't be a bad idea if OSU teachers made this a lab assignment; cover up a few seats.

Wonder what's in Howie's Thermos?

OSU by 40.

Arkansas at Vanderbilt (-6 1/2): SEC continues to drive Arkansas to the intersection of Exhaustion and Oblivion.

AD Bacon Broyles still owes somebody an apology for joining this fight club.

Visitor by 3.

Iowa State at Iowa (-3): For bragging rights to grain.

Iowa by 5.

Florida (-3 1/2) at Tennessee: Vol coach Fulmer goes back on the endangered species list.

Florida by 4.

Michigan at Notre Dame (-7): Coaching mismatch.

Notre Dame has one.

Notre Dame by 9.

Miami at Louisville (-5): Has Louisville ever won a big game? Coker's job on the line of scrimmage?

Miami by 5.

Texas Tech (-2 1/2) at TCU: OU hasn't been the same since Leach left.

Somebody get the TCU coach a pill.

Tech croaks, Frogs by 1.

Nebraska at USC (-19 1/2): Nothing personal, but if Nebraska fans could refrain from wearing ear-of-corn hats on Rodeo Drive, other conference members would appreciate it.

USC female cheerleaders look like casting call for Grey's Anatomy, Beach Clinic.

USC by 24.

PROS



Carolina (-3) at Minnesota: Wonder who the wheezing, limping, tubby, wrinkled refs will job this time.

Carolina by 1.

Giants at the Eagles (-3): Aged, part-time, red-faced, tubby, nameless refs wouldn't know offensive pass interference from dodge ball.

Eagles by 1.

Arizona at Seattle (-7): Refs should wear names on their backs, then see if they would call phantom penalties.

Seattle by 13.

Chiefs at Denver (-7): We have your holding right here, zebras.

Denver by 10.

Redskins at the Cowboys (-5 1/2): Bledsoe plays like Monk, the wacky TV detective who flips out when anybody so much as tries to touch him.

Parcells lost his pitch?

Stoops in the bullpen?

Dallas by 7.

MONDAY



Steelers at Jacksonville (-3): When does new analyst / humorist Kornheiser start in the booth?

Oh, he has started.

Never mind.

We could, and just might, outrun the Jax quarterback.

Steelers by 1..

OU Notebook: Block party
By JOHN E. HOOVER AND GUERIN EMIG World Sports Writers
9/14/2006

View in Print (PDF) Format


Everyone remembers all the catches, yards and touchdowns that Mark Bradley, Mark Clayton, Brandon Jones, Will Peoples and Travis Wilson made. But one thing they did better than most wideout groups was block. "Wide receivers are as much a part of the running game as the line," said wideouts coach Kevin Sumlin.

Which is why Sumlin was soured on his unit's blocking against Washington. Running back Adrian Peterson might have had well over 200 yards rushing if, on a handful of plays, receivers had shielded their defender just a little better or a little longer.

"People don't really think about it that much until you see A.D. out there and he's one block away, or one guy gets him and that's the receiver's guy," said sophomore Malcolm Kelly. "People are always talking about how the line has to hold up, but the receivers have to hold up, too, out there on the perimeter when he breaks those long runs."

Turnover tale: Oregon is tied for 33rd nationally (plus 0.5 per game) in turnover margin, which equates to just two fumbles lost. Quarterback Dennis Dixon has thrown 66 passes this season without an interception.

Oklahoma, meanwhile, is tied for 111th (out of 119 teams) with minus-2.0 per game.


Stat rankings: OU is 46th nationally in rushing offense (162 yards per game), 36th in passing offense (249.5), 30th in total offense (411.5) and tied for 44th in scoring (30.0 points per game). OU's defense ranks 91st against the run (169.5), 46th against the pass (174.5), 74th in total defense (344.0) and tied for 52nd in scoring defense (18.5).

OU is 49th in net punting (36.9-yard average), 15th in punt returns (15.8), 18th in kickoff returns (27.8).

Individually, Peterson is sixth in rushing yards per game (152.0), fourth in all-purpose yards (189.5) and ninth in points per game (12.0). Paul Thompson is 23rd in passing yards per game (258.0) and 35th in passing efficiency (147.57 rating). Garrett Hartley is tied for sixth in field goals per game (2.0).

Reggie Smith is 11th in punt return average (15.8) and Juaquin Iglesias is 11th in kickoff returns (31.8).

Escape artists: Oregon coach Mike Bellotti raised eyebrows Wednesday when he was quoted in a USA Today story as saying, "Oklahoma recognizes they escaped last year." The reference was to OU's 17-14 Holiday Bowl victory over the Ducks.

"Oh, I don't know," Stoops said. "It was a heck of a game. I think it's fair to see we had our other opportunities. We fumbled at the (Oregon) 1, and they had a fake field goal on us. . . . You can define it any way you want, but this is a new year and we've got to be ready to play."/

PAC-10 memories
By JOHN E. HOOVER World Sports Writer

View in Print (PDF) Format


Oklahoma is 5-5 in its last 10 trips to the West Coast against Pac-10 Conference teams:

2005: OU 17, Oregon 14 (Holiday Bowl)

Against the sixth-ranked Ducks, it took a dynamite catch in the end zone by fullback J.D. Runnels and a spectacular interception by linebacker Clint Ingram to save the game.

2005: UCLA 41, OU 24

Four Rhett Bomar fumbles and another on punt returns doomed the 21st-ranked Sooners to their first loss to the Bruins, who held Adrian Peterson to 58 yards. OU fell to 1-2 -- its first time below .500 under Bob Stoops.

2002: OU 34, Washington State 14 (Rose Bowl)

The eighth-ranked Sooners' first trip to the Granddaddy Of Them All was unforgettable against the No. 7 Cougars. The Sooner defense had six sacks and two INTs.

1997: Cal 40, OU 36

Justin Fuente rallied the Sooners for two second-half touchdowns and a 34-34 tie in the fourth quarter at Berkley, but Cal All-American Bobby Shaw caught 11 passes for 157 yards, including a late TD that put the Bears up 40-34.

1990: OU 34, UCLA 14

Steve Collins and backup Cale Gundy combined to go 4-of-18 for

34 yards with three INTs. But Collins was effective running the option and the Sooner defense produced five sacks and four INTs to win going away.

1989: Arizona 6, OU 3

Doug Pfaff's 40-yard field goal dribbled over the crossbar with two seconds to play to give No. 6 OU its first loss under Gary Gibbs.

1988: USC 23, OU 7

Oklahoma quarterbacks Jamelle Holieway and Charles Thompson threw four interceptions and the third-ranked Sooners lost two fumbles and netted just 5 yards rushing

1983: OU 27, Stanford 14

The No. 2 Sooners pounded out 395 rushing yards in the season-opener at Palo Alto.

1981: USC 28, OU 24

John Mazur's pass to tight end Fred Cornwell with two seconds to play won it for No. 2 USC over No. 1 OU.

1978: OU 35, Stanford 29

Fourth-ranked Oklahoma needed an interception by Darrol Ray on the last play to secure the win..

OU Notebook: Peterson on the run
By GUERIN EMIG World Sports Writer
9/15/2006

View in Print (PDF) Format


Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson used the 2004 Oregon game as his coming-out party, piling up 183 yards and scoring two second-half touchdowns in the Sooners' 31-7 victory. He added 84 yards in OU's Holiday Bowl victory over the Ducks last December.

The plan is to increase that total Saturday in Eugene, especially after watching Dwayne Wright rush for 154 yards in Fresno State's loss to Oregon last week.

"I stayed home and watched the whole game. It was a pretty good game, a real physical game," Peterson said. "But I also know that Fresno State ran the ball real well."

Will it matter that the Ducks are expected to clog Peterson's running lanes with a eight- or nine-man fronts?

"We can't get away from the running game," OU offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said. "Because that runner is a guy where the more you feed him, the more physical he gets, and the better you can run the ball."

Two for one: Oregon counters Peterson with a pair of tailbacks.

Jonathan Stewart is the headliner, a coveted recruit who led the nation in kickoff returns last year as a freshman and rushed for 168 yards in the Ducks' season-opening win over Stanford before injuring his ankle.


Throw in Jeremiah Johnson, who had 74 yards and two touch downs while Stewart rested against Fresno State, and the Ducks have a fierce combination.

"Both of those guys are good backs," OU co-defensive coordinator Bobby Jack Wright said. "They run through a lot of tackles. They've got great balance, great vision, run tough on the inside. They get out on the corner and outrun people. They're stiff-arming guys all over the field to the ground.

"They're going to pose a significant problem for anybody that plays them."

Sweat it out: Oregon took the Sooners to the brink in last year's Holiday Bowl, driving to the OU 19-yard line before Clint Ingram's game-sealing interception.

Now comes an even stiffer test in Eugene.

"They're going to be a lot harder than in the Holiday Bowl," OU defensive end Larry Birdine said of the Ducks. "I think (quarterback Dennis Dixon) was just one threat then, pretty much running. But now he's got that pass in the equation."

Dixon, splitting snaps with Brady Leaf, went 11-of-19 in the Holiday Bowl.

"They were a pretty young team then," Birdine continued. "Now, with a year underneath them, I think they're going to come out and give us their best shot. They've had a year to prepare for us, and I heard they've been looking forward to playing us and revealing themselves.

"We definitely think they're going to be a worthy opponent."

Reggie on offense: While he has made major contributions at cornerback and kick returner in OU's first two games, Reggie Smith has made just token appearances as a slot receiver.

"With Manuel (Johnson) back, it wasn't as much of a need," coach Bob Stoops said of Johnson's return from an ankle injury against Washington. "But he's so natural at it and has such an ability to make big plays that we have to continue to try and get him out there more."

Johnson is expected to increase his work load from the 10 plays he tried last week. True freshman Adron Tennell should play another 10-15 snaps at wide receiver as well.

Still, expect to see Smith at Oregon as well.

"Malcolm's (Kelly) out there (against Washington) for close to 50 or 60 snaps when you count the penalty snaps," said wide receiver coach Kevin Sumlin. "That's maybe too many."/
