Madu’s debut

Freshman running back Mossis Madu was the leading rusher with 12 carries for 33 yards. He also scored the scrimmage’s first touchdown with a 1-yard plunge.

Madu, a former Norman High standout, also had one reception for 19 yards.

Special teams special

The Sooners have emphasized special teams through in the preseason. The added attention seems to be paying off.

Kicker Garrett Hartley was 10-for-12, making his first nine field goals and converting kicks from 50 and 52 yards.

Punters Mike Knall, Michael Cohen and Hartley all averaged more than 40 yards per punt with Knall’s six boots leading the way at an average of 48.

“The field goals and PATs were very good, very clean,” Stoops said. “Our punting was very good. All those guys were 42 to 48 in the averages and their operation times were excellent. We’re further ahead there than maybe I would have anticipated in just seven days in full pads.”
