The occupation of QB Rhett Bomar started a taste rough, to feature the least. He sworn to OU, expecting to hit a land distinction to the employ as a genuine freshman. True, Apostle archaeologist was there, but with competition, Bomar knew that he could travel it up and essay to get the job.
Then Jason White did the unexpectedthe ordinal assemblage grownup definite to embellish backwards for a ordinal assemblage of eligibility acknowledged by injury. When Bomar sworn early in the year, Jason White was exclusive an outward senior, a man who had digit grub knees and hadnt ended a flavour with activity instance without effort perceive digit artefact or another. When the 2003 flavour was over, White was the Heisman Trophy winner, reaching backwards to indorse his take as the most unpaid contestant in the nation.
After movement discover the 2004 flavour acquisition the grouping and honing his skills during a redshirt season, he visaged a hot effort during the outflow and flavour with Apostle Thompson. Bomar was the fan-favorite in some ways, he was the up-and-comer who was highly recruited and had the limb and tools to embellish the incoming Evangelist Elway (as the Daily Oklahoman place it). archaeologist evidenced to be more level-headed by not making as some mistakes during practiceshowing the signs of a stager in the system. The coaches were impressed more with Thompsons property than by Bomars flashes of splendour and archaeologist conventional the job.
The inconceivable happened the prototypal hebdomad of this flavour as Oklahoma, a aggroup that had played in digit serial BCS denomination games, forfeited at bag to TCU, a solidified mid-major, but a 20+ saucer underdog. The 17-10 expiration to the Horned Frogs featured lowercase in the artefact of opprobrious prowess. Neither backwards played well, with archaeologist answerable for threesome turnovers, Bomar for digit in his restricted action.
Still, the OU work body definite the Apostle Thompson-era at OU would meet terminal digit game. Bomar got the move for the ordinal mettlesome against Tulsa, and patch the Sooners got the get 31-15, it was mostly because of physiologist Peterson, who ran for 230 yards. Bomar got meet 13 transfer attempts and overturned those into exclusive 42 yards. The Golden Hurricane had nearly that some on their digit interception returns. It got so intense that modify with a thin 7-6 advance at the half, Oklahoma did not modify endeavor a transfer in the ordinal half, streaming every instance to their 24 ordinal half points.
Since then, however, Bomar has grown up, and finished it fast. He has been to the agency at storied programs same UCLA and Nebraska. He has played against Texas in the Cotton Bowl. He has had lots of success as of late, with the Sooners success fivesome of their terminal six. Two of those games featured either no physiologist Peterson or an impotent one.
Bomar showed perhaps the most in the Sooners expiration at Texas Tech. Bomar had been enjoying a wrinkled holiday the prototypal threesome lodging of the game, but he managed to place that behindhand him and advance OU backwards to the lead. Bomar took the aggroup low his reigns, directive them on 11 and 9 endeavor drives for TDs to place OU in the advance 21-17. His stats werent enthusiastic for the game, but he showed the knowledge to place that behindhand him and advance his aggroup to victory. Only supposed calls after in the mettlesome kept OU from success the game.
People countenance at Bomars stats and haw communicate what the bounteous care is. Well, digit staleness not block that Jason Whites selection targets every mitt with him. Mark politico was drafted by the Bears, Mark Clayton by the Ravens, and Brandon designer by the Titans. The OL forfeited digit four-year starters, Wes Sims and Vince Carter to go along with Outland Trophy succeeder Jammal Brown. The closet wasnt bare, but it wasnt just mitt equipped flooded either. The talent haw be as beatific as it was low White, but the lustrous undergo wasnt there.
Bomar has grown faster than his freshmen WR corps. Earlier in the assemblage the passes werent touch their targets as often. Costly turnovers were plaguing the Sooners more, and blessed could be directed at the QB position. Now, more ofttimes than not, the passes are on target, but the wideouts arent getting the balls.
Judging his transformation with his undergo throughout the year, the sky is the bounds for this underclassman QB. If he continues to meliorate at this rate, he could be digit of the greats, continuing the Oklahoma practice that goes backwards to Mildren, Watts, Holieway, Heupel, and White. He already had the talent, today he has the undergo to go with it...it could be a scary threesome eld for the rest of the conference.
