Published September 15, 2007 11:50 pm - Something different John Shinn The Norman Transcript • Iglesias has turned into a
big-play threat Juaquin Iglesais has played in virtually every game since he came to Oklahoma in 2005. But he admits there’s something different about him in this, his junior season. “I think they have more confidence in me,” he said Saturday after the Sooners’ 54-3 rout of Utah State. “I know I do in myself.” They is OU’s coaching staff and it’s hard to argue that’s not the case. Iglesias caught eight passes for 123 yards and ran for a touchdown on a 35-yard reverse to kick-start the third-ranked Sooners’ third consecutive blowout win. Thus far, he might be the most versatile weapon on a team that’s proving to have as much firepower as any squad that plays Saturdays. The Aggies didn’t have much success stopping him. All his yards came in the first half as OU erupted to a 38-3 lead by intermission. “He has played well all year,” OU coach Bob Stoops said. “He has great hands and can run with the ball after the catch and he is really stepping it up.” Opponents haven’t caught on. Utah State followed the same game plan North Texas and Miami employed. Focus on the run. Keep a watchful eye on Malcolm Kelly and hope someone else doesn’t step up. That kind of plan has been shredded for the third straight week. Iglesias is major reason why. “He’s a big part of what we’re doing,” offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said. “I don’t think he gets the credit that he deserves. Maybe it’s because Malcolm is awfully good and it’s nice to have a guy on the other side.”
