* DEPTH CHARTS were only designed as a simplistic
gauge for listing players that departed and players
that received the most playing experience (consistent
starters). NationalChamps.net recognizes the importance
of missing personnel data not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming recruits, back ups,
and alternates. Their coverage will begin with our
full 2003 Preseason Preview due out this coming
spring. |

ANALYSIS

November
28, 2003 - Amazing to think the Sooners
could be bringing back so much of that
dominating defense. The LB crew is possibly
the best to play the game in the last
15 years. The DL is just as stacked, led
by Tommie Harris at tackle. Year after
year we keep hearing the same names dating
back to that 2000 Orange Bowl championship
season. Names like Strait, Everage, Clayton
seem to have been there for ages. The
key to Oklahoma will be the offense and
who fills in at QB. Will it be Jason White,
who was an intermittent starter until
injuries plagued his career? Many of the
Sooner faithful feel White is the person
for the job. Don't be so sure, as young
Brent Rawls has quite a resume despite
the fact that his playing time has also
been limited due to injury. Finding a
RB that spells Quentin Griffin may prove
difficult, but Oklahoma is a team that
plays so many athletes that inexperience
is hardly ever a problem. So we keep repeating
ourselves...Coach Bob Stoops has everything
he needs to make another title run, and
we are not just talking about the Big
12 Championship.
