http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/team/181 Recent articles about the Oklahoma Sooners en-us Oklahoma's 2009 season will long be remembered for the number of key injuries the team sustained throughout the year. On Tuesday, the All-Big 12 was littered with Sooners who managed to survive 2009's trials and tribulations. Some of the biggest and most important contributors to Oklahoma's success in 2009 weren't the players with the highest honors, as Ryan Broyles, Demarco Murray and Jeremy Beal all received second-team honors Tue, 01 Dec 2009 13:49:00 -0500 http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/Sooners_make_way_onto_All_Big_12_list/1661822 http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/Sooners_make_way_onto_All_Big_12_list/1661822 http://www.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/Sooners_make_way_onto_All_Big_12_list/1661822 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/6/0/60536e2510763126d4080812cf36d7cbd6cd1b45/small/20.jpg A total of 18 Oklahoma players, including four first-team selections, were named to the All-Big 12 Football Team that was announced today. The team was chosen by the league's coaches."The number of players recognized is probably the thing that pleases me the most," said OU Head Coach Bob Stoops. "We had some adversity this year, but our players never lost sight of the need for individual excellence and accountability, and how those things contribute to a strong team atmosph...

This week he realized when Trent Williams was injured that while others around him had gained experienced through the season he was going to be the only player left on the line who had loads of big game experience. How did he keep going through that?

Oklahoma State opened the season with visions of the best team in school history, and as far from that ideal as the Cowboys have looked at times -- as in double-digit losses to Houston and Texas and a lackluster win over struggling Colorado on national television, all at home, while losing their best player under bizarre circumstances and failing to beat a ranked team -- the big goals were all intact today.

Few moments have been more difficult than the one experienced last weekend in Lubbock. But with Bedlam approaching, there is little time for Oklahoma and Murray to focus on the negative.

Demarco Murray and Ryan Broyles have stepped to the forefront for Landry Jones recently, but one player who appears to be on the verge of breaking into that category is Dejuan Miller.
