Oklahoma Football: Your A-Z Guide to Sooner Pride

— Norvell. Oklahoma's new wide receivers coach, Jay, has been a good addition to the staff. His background includes a stint with the NFL's Oakland Raiders, an appealing accomplishment to both current team members and prospects. But can he make a difference?

O — O-o-o-o-o-o. If you don’t get that out of your system this summer, good luck in the fall.

P — Poise. That is something that coach Bob Stoops explains to his team before every game.

Q — Quentin or Quinton. That's Chaney and Carter, respectively. The two Q's should both be in action this fall, Quentin at receiver and Quinton in the secondary. They will both make outstanding game-changing plays this season.

R — Redshirts. There are several that sat out last season in anticipation of 2008. Among those worth watching is No. 84 Frank Alexander, a promising defensive end.

S — Secondary. The secondary has been really juggled this year since losing Reggie Smith and D.J. Wolfe to the NFL. Everybody needs to keep an eye on the amazing Dominique Franks.

T — Trick plays. The offense of Bob Stoops was known for his mighty trick plays, and he got beat by them two years ago. Let's see if he can step up and show them off again.

U — Unlikely. It's unlikely that you'll ever see a left side of the offensive line this big again. At 350 each, Duke Robinson and Phil Loadholt are a combined 700 pounds. They call them the Twin Towers of Norman, OK.

V — Victory! Something the great Sam Bradford will be saying as he wins the Heisman.

W — Walk-on. Trent Ratterree has been an interesting addition at tight end and made catches in each of the first two scrimmages this past spring.

X — X-factor. The Sooners' lingo in the locker room as well as on the field.

Y — Your call. Tell me what you think about when you hear Oklahoma Football.

Z — Zach Brown. He's a walk-on defensive back from Hugo, Okla., and the only player with a Z in his name. He also transferred from Oklahoma State, and you don't see that every day. OU plays in Stillwater this year—can he make a difference?
