The schedule for the Oklahoma Sooners is not a bad one. Three of four of their non conference games are at home and their only trip away is Autzen where the ducks play very well. All the Big 12 conference major teams are at home except for Texas which is a neutral site. You can bet the Sooners will be very good defensively this year and odds are they are BCS Bowl bound.
Panic was the feeling for everybody down in Norman, after Oklahoma started the 2005 season with a 2-3 record and was punished by Texas. Luckily head coach Bob Stoops turned things around and they won six of the last seven games finishing in style. Many are predicting the Sooners will be headed to the desert come January as they return 14 starters from last year.

Nine of those starters are on the defensive end and that should help improve the 23 PPG they permitted last season, possibly shaving a good 10 points off that average. Some say they have the best back seven in NCAA college football.
They are also expected to pick things up offensively with quarterback Rhett Bomar who is in his second year and has already proven strength throwing the ball and running it. Running back Adrian Peterson returns and he will be looking stay injury free and carry the pigskin a lot more. But he will have to be careful as he will be running behind a very inexperienced front wall that will need some time to mature. The wide receiving unit will benefit from quarterback Rhett Bomar's confidence and experience and the offense is expected to get better in 2006.
