Top 15 Plays Of The Bob Stoops Era!

5. Sam Bradford's Heisman Flip (2008)

Many Heisman winners have a "moment", and despite Bradford's eye-popping stats, it may just have been this moment that won Sam the Heisman. 

While the play didn't even result in a touchdown, this is definitely one of the most exciting plays that we have seen under Coach Stoops.

4. OU Gets Bama On a Big Play, Twice (2003)

With No. 1 OU only up on Alabama 13-10 midway through the third quarter, Coach Stoops decided we needed a spark. Oklahoma was preparing to punt until Stoops called back-to- back perfect plays to get momentum back on OU's side.

3. Derrick Strait Saves a Championship Season (2000)

With Oklahoma St. driving, and OU's championship season on the ropes, a true freshman saved the day. (6:52)

On 4th-and-goal Oklahoma St. threw a jump ball to their TE, but the much shorter Strait jumped up and was able to knock away the pass. OU would eventually win the game 12-7, and go on to the National Title.

2. Torrance Marshall Makes the Play of His Life (2000)

Oklahoma had been struggling the entire game against Texas A&M, and their No. 1 ranking was on the line, until Torrance Marshall stepped in front of a pass. 

With OU trailing 31-28, Marshall picked off a Farris pass, and returned it 42 yards to preserve OU's title run.

1. Superman (2001)

Is there any play more discussed in the Stoops era than this one? It is probably one of the most noticeable defensive plays of the decade. Even with OU's defense dominating the entire game, OU was only up 7-3 when Texas took over on their own 3-yard-line. 

Earlier in the game, Roy Williams had jumped over the line to make a play and got hurt, so Coach Stoops plainly told him to not leave his feet again.

It's a good thing that Roy was a bad student. Texas was hoping for a miracle drive when Roy Williams dove over the line, hit Chris Simms arm, and forced an interception which Teddy Lehman returned for a touchdown...game over!
