12/09/22 - Austin Stogner, rSr/2024, Oklahoma + More +

Thanks to the NCAA Transfer Portal, there will be a homecoming in Norman. South Carolina tight end Austin Stogner announced Thursday that he is transferring to Oklahoma after one season with the Gamecocks. The former OU tight end played for the Sooners from 2019-2021, recording 47 catches for 654 yards and eight touchdowns. His best season came in 2020, when he ranked third on the team in catches (26) and receiving yards (422) while adding three scores.

Expectations were high for Stogner entering the 2021 season but he never found his footing, catching 14 passes for 166 yards. Stogner, along with former OU quarterback Spencer Rattler, transferred to South Carolina at the end of the regular season. Stogner caught 20 passes for 210 yards and a score in his lone year with the Gamecocks. - Norman Transcript

11/26/22 - Casey Thompson, rSr/2025, Oklahoma + More +

Nebraska has signed Matt Rhule to an eight-year contract to be the Cornhuskers' next football coach, the school announced Saturday. The 47-year-old Rhule has been out of work for less than two months since getting fired by the Carolina Panthers. One of eight Football Bowl Subdivision programs with at least 900 wins but more than 20 years removed from its 1990s heyday, Nebraska is pinning its hopes on Rhule to recreate his success at his previous two college stops. Rhule took over struggling programs at Temple and Baylor and built them into conference contenders in three years. He was 11-27 with Carolina and left with about $40 million remaining on the seven-year, guaranteed $62 million contract he signed in 2020. The contract made Rhule the sixth-highest paid coach in the NFL when he signed in 2020, according to Forbes. Nebraska did not release terms of Rhule's contract. He will be introduced at a news conference Monday. - AP College Football

11/25/22 - Casey Thompson, rSr/2025, Oklahoma + More +

Casey Thompson threw for three touchdowns, and Nebraska ruined Iowa's chance to clinch the Big Ten West Division title outright with a 24-17 win on Friday. The Huskers (4-8, 3-6 Big Ten) snapped a five-game losing streak, and broke a seven-game losing streak to the Hawkeyes (7-5, 5-4). Iowa had its four-game winning streak snapped. Thompson threw touchdown passes of 87 and 18 yards to Trey Palmer in the first half and a 14-yarder to Marcus Washington in the third quarter as Nebraska built a 24-0 lead. Iowa had a chance to tie the game in the closing minutes, getting the ball twice in the last 3:20 after closing to within 24-17 on a 45-yard field goal by Drew Stevens. But backup quarterback Alex Padilla threw incomplete on fourth down on the first possession. Nebraska linebacker Chris Kolarevic's interception with 42 seconds left completed the Huskers' win.

The Hawkeyes need losses by Purdue and Illinois on Saturday to have a chance at back-to-back West Division titles. Thompson completed 20 of 30 passes for 278 yards. Palmer had nine catches for 165 yards. Iowa lost starting quarterback Spencer Petras to an injury in the first quarter after he was hit and lost a fumble. The turnover led to Timmy Bleekrode's 21-yard field goal and a 10-0 Huskers lead. Padilla also lost a fumble that led to Nebraska's second touchdown. Kaleb Johnson, who rushed for 109 yards, gave the Hawkeyes their first score with a 44-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Padilla threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Luke Lachey in the fourth quarter. Padilla completed 16 of 33 passes for 141 yards. - Nebraska/AP College Football

2022 OHIO VALLEY CONFERENCE FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR: Sam Franklin (RB), UT Martin,...Franklin was part of a two-headed rushing attack for UT Martin, spelling first-team All-OVC selection Zak Wallace for a change of pace. Franklin ranked fifth in the OVC in total rushing yards (676) despite having almost 25 less carries than any player who ranked ahead of time.

A finalist for the Jerry Rice Award, Franklin scored a season-best three touchdowns in a win over Lindenwood, and added two scores and a season-high 157 rushing yards against Murray State. He also had 139 yards in a win at Houston Christian. He is the third UTM player to win this award, joining Don Chapman (2004) and John Bachus III (2019). - OVC Football

OCT 31 BIG 12 CO-SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Michael Turk, OU, P, Sr.,...Turk averaged 49.3 yards on his six punts and became Oklahoma's first full-time punter since 1970 to throw a touchdown pass in OU's 27-13 win at Iowa State. The TD pass came on a fake field goal attempt as Turk, the holder, flipped the ball to kicker Zach Schmit, who ran the ball in from two yards out to give OU a 10-3 second-quarter lead. As a punter, the senior was particularly effective in the fourth quarter, booming 61- and 60-yarders to flip the field with the Sooners holding on to a seven-point lead. The 60-yard punt was downed at the two-yard line, and OU's defense registered takeaways on both ensuing ISU possessions. Turk leads the Big 12 and ranks sixth nationally with his 45.8-yard punt average this season. - Big 12 Football

10/29/22 - Eric Gray, Sr/2023, Oklahoma + More +

Eric Gray rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown, and the Oklahoma defense posted three interceptions and the Sooners defeated Iowa State 27-13 on Saturday. A pick by linebacker Danny Stutsman came with 5:24 left in the fourth quarter and set up a 2-yard scoring run by Gray to seal the game for Oklahoma (5-3, 2-3 Big 12). It was the fifth straight loss for Iowa State (3-5, 0-5). The previous four defeats had been by a total of 14 points. Oklahoma used a little trickery to get its first touchdown. The Sooners were lined up for a 19-yard field goal late in the first quarter, but holder Michael Turk flipped the ball to kicker Zach Schmit as he ran past.

Schmit's 2-yard touchdown reception put Oklahoma up 10-3 early in the second quarter. He hit two field goals and an extra point before halftime, accounting for all of the Sooners' first 13 points. Oklahoma's second touchdown was more traditional, a 41-yard pass from Dillon Gabriel to Jalil Farooq in the third quarter. Iowa State answered with a 12 play, 53-yard touchdown drive - converting two fourth-and-long situations - with 10:29 left in the fourth quarter, trimming the margin to 20-13. The Cyclones' next two possessions ended with interceptions, including Stutsman's pick. Hunter Dekkers finished 37-for-57 passing for 312 yards and a touchdown to go along with the three picks. - Oklahoma/AP College Football

10/28/22 - *Marvin Mims Jr., Jr/2023, Oklahoma + More +

In his first game back from concussion protocol, Dillon Gabriel appeared to have a goal. Find Marvin Mims, and get him the ball. The junior wide receiver was targeted 16 times by Gabriel in their last outing against Kansas. Mims made the most of his opportunities, turning his targets into a career-high nine receptions for 106 yards. Mims accounted for 31 percent of Gabriel's completions, 38 percent of his attempts and 26 percent of his passing yards. After the game, Mims said he wasn't sure if he'd ever been targeted that many times during his collegiate career. Against Kansas, it was a concerted effort to keep him heavily involved. "You've got to give [Mims] the ball," said OU tight end Brayden Willis, who also finished with more than 100 receiving yards.

"He's so explosive, he's so fast, he does such great things with the ball in his hand. and he also does great things without the ball in his hand. He does a great job of blocking if anybody ever catches it. Getting him involved is imperative. "He makes the offense go and everybody kind of goes off of him. He gets a lot of receptions, they start paying attention to him and other guys can get in as well. So it's imperative that we get him going and involved early." It was another example of how Mims has been the Sooners' clear-cut No. 1 receiver in what has been a career season for him. He leads the team in receptions (32), yards (542) and yards per catch (16.94) while adding five touchdowns. He also leads the team in targets with 57. Willis is second on the team in targets with 32. He's already tied his catch total from last season, and he's on pace to far surpass his 37-reception campaign from 2020. - Norman Transcript
