Looking ahead to 2008

Kevin Wilson pointed out a scary little fact the other day. His OU offense on occasion will have NO seniors on the field.

Tailback Allen Patrick and tight end Joe Jon Finley are the only seniors who figure to play extensively, and both have superb backups, DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown, plus Brody Eldredge and Jermaine Gresham.

 Thus the scary part. If OU gets solid quarterbacking, and develops an efficient offense, think of the prowess of 2008. The Sooners would field an offense of veterans, led by a veteran quarterback. 2007 seems promising enough. The Sooners don’t figure to ask too much of their quarterback but have enough weapons to challenge for championships. Give whichever quarterback a year under his belt, with an offense even more experienced, and 2008 looks very, very strong.
