NORMAN — You watched Malcolm Kelly leap high over Marcus Walker in Owen Field's northeast end zone. Walker is a darn good cornerback, but Kelly is an even better flanker and pulled down a 20-yard touchdown catch from Joey Halzle in the OU scrimmage Saturday.

You watched Jacob Gutierrez, who once ran for 173 yards against Baylor but now is no better than OU's fourth-team tailback, dance and dart to a 53-yard touchdown run.

You watched that offensive line, where 6-foot-5, 330-pound guard Duke Robinson is dwarfed by Mount Phil Loadholt standing next to him in the huddle, and where incumbent Branndon Braxton might not even start.

And you realized how Colt McCoy felt an August ago.

That's what Oklahoma football 2007 attempts to do. Produce a yearling quarterback like Texas did last season.

McCoy, an unsung redshirt freshman, took over a talented, veteran offense that seemed iffy only because of QB uncertainty. The Longhorns had a big, veteran offensive line. Savvy runners Jamaal Charles and Selvin Young.
