The Norman Transcript
The answer? Not much.
The Sooner coach said he still has the notes he used to prepare for Leach’s offense back in their Southeastern Conference days. Stoops was the defensive coordinator at Florida and Leach was the offensive coordinator at Kentucky.
“I pull it out every year and look at it,” Stoops said. “A few variations and wrinkles, but for the most part, the body of it is still there. Mike knows what he’s doing, and they do it over and over. And they do it on everybody. That’s the beauty of what he does.”
Musical centers
OU quarterback Rhett Bomar has been charged with 16 of the Sooners’ 28 fumbles this season, most of them occurring during the exchange from center.
Still, Bomar has had it more difficult than his predecessors. Former Sooner quarterbacks Nate Hybl, Jason White and Josh Heupel played with a grand total of six centers over five seasons from 2000-2004.
Bomar has taken snaps from three different centers in just nine games.
Freshman Jon Cooper is OU’s latest center due to broken right hands suffered by both Chris Bush and Chris Chester.
