Top 15 Plays Of The Bob Stoops Era!

10. Demarco Murray, "It's 4.4 and Goodbye" (2007)

Demarco Murray was one of the most anticipated recruits that Stoops has brought in, and, just like Adrian Peterson, he became a star against Texas. (1:49)

9. Matt McCoy to Chris Chester (2002)

With Brad Smith running all over the higher ranked Sooners, and OU losing 24-23 with 6:37 left in the fourth quarter, Bob Stoops reached into his bag of tricks and pulled of a doozy.  (5:38)

OU's holder and backup safety Matt McCoy took the snap and could have easily thrown to a wide open Trey Dicarlo in the flats, but instead threw a jump ball in double coverage to backup TE Chris Chester, who made a leaping catch to win the game.

8. White to Bradley Saves the Day (2004)

With OU in yet another dogfight against A&M at their place, Jason White hit Mark Bradley for one of the biggest plays of the season.

With the game tied at 35 a piece, and time ticking down, White evaded the rush, stepped up in the pocket, and threw a dart to Bradley, who did the rest on this 3rd-and-10 play.

7. Ingram Seals the Deal (2006 Holiday Bowl)

After three National title game appearances in five years, OU struggled during the 2005 season, sitting at 2-3 at one point. OU rallied to finish the season 7-4 though, and received a Holiday Bowl invite against Top 10 Oregon. 

With Oregon driving, and down by three in the final minutes of the game, Clint Ingram picked off Brady Leaf to seal the upset victory and save a disappointing season at 8-4.

6. No Guts No Glory (2006)

With OU's offense struggling the entire game, and Coach Stoops not confident that our defense could get another stop after Dennis Franchione shockingly kicked two field goals on the goal line to make the score 17-16 rather than giving the ball to Javorskie Lane, Stoops went for it twice on 4th-and-short inside his own territory to seal the victory. 

After the first quarterback sneak was blown dead, Stoops ran the same exact play, and Thompson got the yardage he needed in order to move the chains, allowing OU to run out the clock.
