I had the pleasure of attending the Oklahoma Sooners spring game in Norman on Saturday. The weather was partly cloudy with winds continuously gusting to approximately 30 MPH. The winds made it tough on the QB's and Kickers. There were 6 INT's thrown by the QB's. 3 INT's by starter
Sam Bradford. Bradford did throw a beautiful TD pass to TE Germaine Gresham , who made a beautiful over-the-shoulder catch in full stride. Many passes were overthrown or underthrown because of the intense straight winds all afternoon. Freshman running back Justin Johnson from Gilmer, TX looks like he will be a good workhorse for the Sooners as he displayed some good power and speed during some of his runs. The offense is at a disadvantage this early in drills and the defense took advantage of that during the game.
The game was attended by many former Sooners as well as
Baltimore Ravens QB,
Steve McNair and country music singer and big-time OU fan, Toby Keith. Former Sooners on hand for the game were Safety Roy Williams (
Dallas Cowboys),
Jamaal Brown (
New Orleans Saints),
Davin Joseph (Tampa Bay Bucs), Travis Wilson (
Cleveland Browns),
Reggie Smith (2008 Draft), DJ Wolfe (2008 Draft),
Allen Patrick (2008 Draft) and a host of others dating back to the 1940's.
I will post a couple of pics with me and
Davin Joseph and Phil Loadholt(current All Big-12 offensive lineman.
