NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — It’s time for Oklahoma to move on.
Enough of what might have been had quarterback Sam Bradford stayed healthy. If Jermaine Gresham had been around to catch his passes. If Trent Williams and Brody Eldridge hadn’t joined them on a lengthy list of banged-up Sooners during a disappointing 8-5 season.
None of those players are coming back. They’ve all moved on to the NFL, leaving a noticeable void at the team’s annual media day on Friday at Owen Field. That means many of the same players who struggled as fill-ins last season will now be expected to excel as regulars in the starting lineup.
Coach Bob Stoops says it’s too early for him to call this team a contender for the Big 12 title.
