The 10 years that Bob Stoops has led The University of Oklahoma he has produced 109 victories, six conference championships, and one national championship. 

While none of that would have been possible without the players that he has brought in over the years, these 15 plays helped define the greatest moments in the Bob Stoops Era.

 

15. Curtis Lofton Strips Jamal Charles (2007)

With the game tied at 14 a piece, Texas ran a draw to Jamal Charles from the 13-yard-line early in the third quarter. It appeared that Charles was going to easily score, but what no one saw was that Curtis Lofton had punched the ball out at the 4-yard-line.  Momentum shifted, and OU went on to win 28-21

 

14. Marcus Walker Pick Six (2007 Fiesta Bowl)

Walker came to OU as a highly touted cornerback, but struggled through injuries much of his career. His defining moment came in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl vs. Boise St.

OU had come all the way back from an 18-point deficit to tie the game with 1:11 left, when Walker jumped a route and picked off Boise St. for a 34-yard TD to give OU their first lead of the game. 

Ultimately, Walkers moment was stolen from him, but I will never forget that moment and the excitement that came with what we thought was an epic comeback.

 

13. Adrian Peterson Goes 80 Against Oklahoma St. (2004)

So many plays to pick from when it comes to Peterson, but this one has to be my favorite. A perfect example of the strength and speed that Peterson would demonstrate during his career at Oklahoma.

 

12. Renaldo Works Jumps Over Alabama (2002)

For the second time in as many years, Oklahoma lost their QB Jason White to a knee injury. While Nate Hybl came into the game and got us back within striking distance, it would eventually be one great play by Renaldo Works that would completely turn the tide, and save the game for OU. 

With 2:43 left in the game, and OU trailing by four at home, Renaldo goes off.


11. Woolfolk Makes an Amazing Catch (2000)

The 2000 game against Nebraska has so many memories, starting with coming back from an early 14-0 deficit, all the way to the end where OU won to become No. 1 in the nation for the first time since 1987.

Take away the scene at the end with OU fans rushing the field, and my biggest memory of that game is the amazing catch (5:08)that Andre Woolfolk made early in the second quarter, with OU still down 14-7
