Bleacher Report's College Football Top25: Preseason

Senior Writer Written on August 29, 2007

(Page 6 of 6)

Miami 9/8, at Texas 10/6, Texas A&M 11/3, Oklahoma St. 11/24

The Mean Green of North Texas can run all the Statue of Liberty plays it wants—it won’t make one bit of difference this Saturday, or this year for that matter.

Bob Stoops may have his most determined bunch of Sooners—a unit that overachieved for 12 games and 45 minutes of last season.

This side of the SEC, the Big XII South will prove to be the toast of college football in 2007. And while Texas may be the best of the bunch, Oklahoma won’t be far behind if Sam Bradford can give them consistency under center.

Senior running back Allen Patrick can sit out this weekend against North Texas as he nurses an ankle injury. In fact, it may prove to be the best thing for Oklahoma if redshirt freshman DeMarco Murray has success in the starting role on Saturday. However, the Sooners will need Patrick at full strength next week when Miami comes calling.
