An opposing team's coach sizes up the Sooners

"There's dissension on the staff about who the quarterback should be. People don't realize that the Sooners didn't play good offense in their last four games. Josh Heupel put them in a lot of checks at the line. They have to incorporate a better running game. Nate Hybl and Jason White are much better runners than Heupel. I bet you'll see Oklahoma use more option and quarterback running....

The offensive line is more of a question mark than the quarterback. Tackle Frank Romero is a good player, and guard Howard Duncan is pretty good, but the Sooners are starting two new linemen, including redshirt freshman Wes Sims at right tackle....

Roy Williams has to be the best safety in the country. Antonio Perkins might be better than either of the corners who played last year. [Co-defensive coordinator] Mike Stoops thinks the kid has it all....

The biggest loss on defense will be up front. [Tackle] Bary Holleyman is O.K., but he isn't a dominator."
