Oklahoma Drill Highlights Monday

August 06, 2007 | Football

By: Athletics Communications

NORMAN, Okla. -- The Sooners opened their first practice in full pads Monday evening with a familiar tradition under Coach Stoops.
 
Players lined up in chutes and went one-on-one in the famed "Oklahoma Drill". Wide receivers matched up against defensive backs, offensive linemen took on defensive lineman, and fullbacks faced off against linebackers while running backs were forced to hit a hole and make contact with a defender.
 
Developed by legendary coach Bud Wilkinson, the Oklahoma Drill has become a tradition not only at OU, but at football practices across the country from high school to the pros.
 
The Sooners put it on display Monday with tremendous intensity at the rugby practice field. View highlights, including a punishing blow by redshirt freshman DeMarco Murray, by clicking on the video links below.
 
OU hits the fields twice on Tuesday in the first installment of two-a-days. The morning practice is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. with the evening practice scheduled for 6 p.m.
