Sooners Prepare For Showdown With Cardinals

Sept. 21, 1999

Quickly: OU enters this game riding a four game winning streak dating back to last season...This will be just the second meeting ever between OU and Louisvile...The Sooners won the lone meeting 35-14 in 1997...This is the first of three straight games away from Norman for OU, while Louisville is in the middle of a four-game homestand.

Records & Rankings: Oklahoma (2-0 overall, 1-0 Big 12/RV), Louisville (2-1 overall/RV)

This Could Take All Night
After winning their Big 12 Conference opener against Baylor last Saturday, the Sooners step back into non-conference action this weekend with what could be labled as the Louisville Airshow. The contest, which is slated to kickoff at 2:38 p.m. (CST) inside Papa John's Cardinal Stadium on the Louisville campus, will feature two of the top collegiate passing attacks so far in the season.

The Bob Stoops era continued to roll forward as the Sooners posted a 41-10 victory over Baylor last Saturday before a sellout crowd of 74,309. It marks the second straight season that OU has posted back-to-back sellouts to start the year, but the first time as a member of the Big 12 it has started a conference season 1-0.

For the second-straight game, the Sooner offense was paced by the strong left arm of quarterback Josh Heupel. For the day, the junior college transfer collected school records for completions (37), passing attempts (54), passing yards (420) and total offense (397).

Heupel, who was honored as the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week, is the first OU quarterback and just the seventh Big 12 player to ever throw for more than 400 yards in a single game. His 420 yards is the fourth most yards ever collected by a league quarterback.

In addition to Heupel, senior running back Michael Thornton collected a career-high 110 yards and 13 different Sooners caught at least one pass for an offense that totaled 557 yards on the day.

Defensively, the Sooners held the Baylor offense (which had been averaging 350 ypg) to only 208 total yards, including 51 rushing. The linebacking duo of Torrance Marshall and Rocky Calmus once again led the squad in tackles (11 and 8).

The Cardinal Air Show
The Cardinals come into this contest after suffering their first loss of the season last weekend against Illinois (41-36). Louisville was once again led by quarterback Chris Redman, who is considered by many as the best college quarterback in the nation.

Versus Illinois, Redman surpassed the 400-yard mark for the eighth time in his career. For the night, he completed 39 of 60 passes for 450 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.

The one thing that makes this Cardinal offense more explosive is a running attack that features senior Frank Moreau, who has recorded more than 140 yards rushing in each of the first three games this season. Ranked fifth nationally in rushing (169.3 ypg), Moreau has already rambled for seven touchdowns.

With no lack of balls to catch, Louisville features five receivers with more than 12 catches and 144 yards already. While this cast is led statistically by Arnold Jackson (28 catches for 351 yards) and Lavell Boyd (20 catches for 226 yards), Ibn Green (14 catches for 121 yards) is only five receptions and 33 yards from becoming the Cardinals all-time leading receiver.

Last Time Against Louisville
Oklahoma entered its contest with Louisville 1-2 overall and searching for the answers to numerous questions. Many of those questions could be answered with a solid victory over the Cardinals, who had just gained almost 600 yards of total offense on top-ranked Penn State.

Playing under the Memorial Stadium's permanent lights for the first time, OU's first sellout crowd of the season witnessed the Sooners log an impressive 35-14 win. Not only did OU post the widest margin of victory in more than two years, but also a season-high 551 yards of total offense.

The Sooner offense was led by running backs De'Mond Parker and Jermaine Fazande, who rushed for 191 and 151 yards respectively. It was only the third time in OU history that two running backs broke the 150-yard barrier in the same game. OU scored five rushing touchdowns on the night from four different players.

Defensively, Oklahoma held Louisville scoreless in the first half and limited the Cardinals to only 50 yards rushing. As far as the Cardinal passing attack, Chris Redman completed 28 of 40 passes for 243 yards and one touchdown.

OU-Baylor: Good News/Bad News

The Good News:
With 557 yards of total offense against the Bears, the Sooners have topped the 500-yard mark for total offense in back-to-back games for the first time since 1989. That season, OU gained 565 yards versus Missouri and 562 yards one week later against Kansas.

The 41 points against Baylor gave the Sooners their first back-to-back 40-point performances since 1993 when they logged 44 against Texas A&M and 41 versus Tulsa.

The Sooners reeled off 70 unanswered points to begin the '99 season. That's the most unanswered points by an OU squad since 1992. In that three-game span, the Sooners scored 21 straight points in the season opener against Texas Tech, 61 points in the second game of the year against Arkansas State and 10 points in a loss to USC.

The Sooners picked off Baylor three times on Saturday, the most interceptions by an OU squad since posting three last year at Baylor.

While the OU offense has leaned heavily toward the passing side through two games (99 passes/54 runs), the Sooners have outrushed their first two opponents, 294-210.

OU's defense was just about brilliant against Baylor, allowing just 10 points, 12 first downs and 157 yards of total offense. Of the 157 yards, 83 came on BU's lone touchdown drive of the day in the fourth quarter.

The Bad News:
After recording only one penalty against Indiana State in the season opener, the Sooners were flagged 11 times versus Baylor.

The turnover bug continued to plague the Sooners with two interceptions and a fumble on Saturday.

The Sooners' Head Coach
Bob Stoops is beginning his first season as the Sooners' head coach after building a reputation as one of the top defensive coaches on the college level.

Stoops was named as the Sooners' 21st head football coach on December 1 after playing a key role in the nationally ranked football programs at Kansas State and Florida. During his time as defensive coordinator at both schools, the defense ranked among the best in the nation and was instrumental in Florida winning the national championship in 1996. Stoops, who turned 39 on Sept. 9, spent the previous three seasons as the assistant head coach, defensive coordinator and secondary coach at the University of Florida. During his tenure with the Gators, Stoops helped Florida to a combined 30-5 record, a national championship, one SEC championship and three bowl games. In each of his three seasons, the Gators ranked among the nation's top 15 teams in total defense and top 20 in rush defense.

Prior to Florida, Stoops spent seven seasons (1989-95) at Kansas State University assisting in one of the most impressive turnarounds in college football history. During his final four seasons in Manhattan, KSU posted a 35-12 record and played in three bowl games.

His 1995 defensive unit led the nation in total defense, ranked second in scoring and had all four defensive backs named to the All-Big Eight Team.

More On The New Guys
Before leaving the subject, here are a few more tidbits about first-year head coaches at OU:

In their first games as Sooner head coaches, the 20 men before coach Stoops posted a 14-5-1 overall record.

Only three Oklahoma head coaches have made bowl appearances in their first season. Jim Tatum (1947 Gator), Gomer Jones (1965 Gator) and Chuck Fairbanks (1968 Orange) are members of this elite group.

Stoops became the 10th OU head coach to log a shutout in his debut contest. There has only been one OU head coach on the receiving end of the goose egg -- John Harts (1895, 34-0 loss to Oklahoma City).

The 90 points registered by Stoops' '99 team in its first two games is the second most ever by an OU first-year head coach. In 1989, Gary Gibbs' first team scored 106 points in its first two games of the year.

The longest winning streak posted by a first-year Sooner coach was nine by Barry Switzer in 1973. After a 7-7 tie at Southern California in the second game of the season, Switzer's Sooners rolled to nine straight wins and the Big Eight Championship.

Changing Of The Guard
Since 1990, OU has worked hard to rebuild its football program. Part of the rebuilding process is finding the perfect match of coaches who can move the program in a successful direction.

During the last nine seasons, OU faithful have seen four different head coaches and nine different coordinators walking the Sooner sidelines. This year, four new names have been added to the list -- Bob Stoops, Mike Leach (offensive coordinator), Mike Stoops and Brent Venables (co-defensive coordinators).

Starting The Heupel Hype
With any type of success the hyping of quarterback Josh Heupel was bound to happen. Let the race begin.

For the second straight week Heupel set school single-game standards for completions (37), passing attempts (54), passing yards (420) and total offense (397). He also owns the school mark for touchdown passes in a single game (5) and in back-to-back games (8).

Here are some single-season lists that we'll need to keep track of this year as Josh does some climbing:

First-Year Signal Callers
Because of OU's history as a running program, passing quarterbacks have found recent success moving quickly up any passing charts in the record books. There are very few first-year quarterbacks listed throughout the OU record section under passing, however at his current pace, it won't take Heupel long to move past those that are there.

The following is a list of the best seasons compiled by first-year quarterbacks at OU:

Spreading The Wealth
For the second straight weekend, 13 different Sooners caught at least one pass in a game. Six flankers caught 16 passes, three tight ends hauled in 12 balls and four running backs caught 10 passes.

Not only did Heupel spread his passes around, but the receivers made the most of their opportunities, with 252 yards after the catch (YAC). Here is a list of the OU receivers and the yards they've earned this year following the catch:


Player            Pos.    Rec.  YAC

Chris Hammons      TE      9     43

Matt Anderson      TE      8     32

The Rookie Receivers
The Sooners offense features several receivers and tight ends who are playing in their first collegiate season. Through the first two outings of the year, eight first-year players have combined for 29 (of 70 receptions) for 332 yards and three touchdowns.

The most catches in a single season by an OU first-year player was 26 by Eddie Hinton in 1966. (His sophomore season since freshmen were not eligible at that time.)

A Close Eye On The Defense
OU head coach Bob Stoops knows what makes a great defense, so do defensive coordinators Mike Stoops and Brent Venables. While at Florida and Kansas State, the three Sooner coaches built and led defensive units considered the best in the college ranks the last five seasons.

Under their guidance, this Sooner defensive unit is quickly coming together and proving it will be a force to dealt with. Check out these facts:

Against the run-happy, wishbone-option Sycamores of Indiana State, OU held ISU to just 195 yards of offense overall. Of the 195 yards, the Sooners allowed just 45 in the second half.

Against Indiana State, the OU defense allowed the Sycamores to cross the 50-yard line just four times overall and not at all in the second half.

Through two games, OU's opponents have run 124 plays and 46 of those (37.1%) have resulted in zero or minus yardage.

The Sooner defense has recorded minus yardage 23 times this season, including 15 times against Baylor last Saturday.

Of the 124 plays run against OU this season, only 16 have been for 10 or more yards.

Baylor recorded 202 yards of total offense, but 83 of those came on the Bears' fourth quarter scoring drive.

The OU defenders allowed the BU offense minus three yards (on just six plays) during the third quarter last Saturday.

Stronger As We Go
Back by popular demand is a look at the Sooner defense as the game wears on. Early indications are that the '99 OU defensive unit is capable of taking control of a game as it goes on.

Last year, OU allowed just over 1,000 yards, 13 TDs and five field goals in the first half, and just over 1,400 yards, 10 TDs and six field goals in the second half throughout the year.

Against Indiana State and Baylor, the Sooners kept the pressure on and proved that the defense gets stronger as the game rolls on.

First: 112 yards, no points, five first downs

Second: 138 yards, one FG, eight first downs

Third: 23 yards, no points, two first downs

Fourth: 122 yards, one TD, seven first downs

Showing Their Support
There's no question that Sooner fans still believe in their program. With the sellout last Saturday, OU has begun its season with back-to-back sellouts two straight seasons. Additionally, the Sooners surpassed their goal of 50,000 season tickets for the 1999 campaign and now have at least three Sooner home games (Indiana State, Baylor and Oklahoma State) sold out. The last time OU had three or more sellouts in a single season was 1988.

Despite OU's record last year, Sooner fans posted the highest percentage of capacity in the 90s (97.4%). The Sooners recorded a pair of sellouts against North Texas (72,831) and California (74,235), marking six sellouts in the last three years.

Here is the average attendance (percentage of capacity) for OU since 1990:


    1990 - 70,778 (94.4%)

    1991 - 69,066 (92.1%)

    1992 - 66,250 (88.6%)

    1993 - 65,520 (86.7%)

    1994 - 62,648 (83.5%)

    1995 - 70,969 (94.6%)

    1996 - 68,225 (90.9%)

    1997 - 69,616 (96.1%)

    1998 - 70,777 (97.4%)

    1999 - 74,211 (101.9%)

A Long Day At The Office
In these days when faster is better, OU games seem to be bucking the trend. Both Sooner games this season have lasted well over three hours, including the Baylor contest which went almost three and a half hours.

Using the final stat packets for games of the last 16 seasons, we have compiled a list of the longest games during that span. The record was in 1997 when OU visited California, but look for that to be seriously challenged on Saturday night against Louisville.

Charting The Red Zone
After hitting paydirt about 75 percent of the time but scoring just 10 touchdowns a year ago, the Sooners are hoping to improve those numbers this season.

Charting the Red Zone began last Saturday night against Indiana State and OU was six-for-eight inside the 20-yard line with six TDs and two turnovers. Defensively, Indiana State was never inside the OU 20.

In the game with Baylor, the Sooners were a perfect seven-for-seven, while the Bears scored one TD and one field goal in two tries inside the 20. Here is the complete breakdown for the '99 season:


                   OU    Opp.

  Possessions      15      2

  Touchdowns       11      1

  Field Goals       2      1

  Success Rate   .867  1.000

  Missed FG         0      0

  Turnovers         2      0

  Lost On Downs     0      0

Sooner Games Selling Out!!!
It was announced late last week that the Nov. 27 contest with Oklahoma State is sold out.

The last time the Sooners recorded three sellouts in a single season came in 1988. That still stands as the last season when every OU home game was sold out.

With only a limited number of tickets remaining for the Missouri and Texas A&M games, there is a real possibility that all five home games this year will sell out.

The last time OU had a sell out of every home game without Nebraska on the home slate came in 1987.

The Long and Winding Road Ahead
Beginning this Saturday, seven of the next eight dates on OU's 1999 slate include teams that held a national ranking (or received votes) at one time or another last year, and played in a bowl game.

Besides facing league opponents Texas, Texas A&M, Colorado, Missouri and Texas Tech during this stretch, the Sooners will also hit the road for non-conference games with high-powered Louisville and national power Notre Dame.

The Sooners' remaining '99 opponents have an overall cumlative record of 18-9 (including Notre Dame's misleading 1-3 mark). Here is a look at the records for the teams left of OU's slate on '99:


Louisville      2-1 (vs. Oklahoma)

Notre Dame      1-3 (Idle)

Texas           3-1 (at Baylor)

Texas A&M       2-0 (vs. S. Miss.)

Colorado        2-1 (at Wash.)

Missouri        2-0 (vs. Nebraska)

Iowa State      3-0 (vs. Kan. St.)

Texas Tech      1-2 (Idle)

Oklahoma St.    2-1 (Idle)
