Five penalties in the Sooners’ season-opening loss to Brigham Young put Cory Brandon firmly on the sideline. But the junior right tackle has started in each of Oklahoma’s past two games after winning a tight competition with Jarvis Jones at right tackle.
"Both those guys have been a little erratic,” said offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson. With Oklahoma’s offensive line set to take the field against one of the nation’s best defensive players in Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, Wilson said getting a solid performance from his offensive line would be a primary concern this week. "It’s not down on Jarvis or Cory, but we’re letting them battle so they’ll play better,” Wilson said. "Our weakest position has been right tackle.”

were still the head coach at the University of Oklahoma. It's disgusting, pathetic, embarrassing,
and most of all a gigantic Joke considering we have Bob Stoops as our head coach. Now you
can see why he is referred to as 'Buffalo Bob! I like the way the rankings are hidden in a story
about the offensive line. They (OUklahoman) is not proud of it either. Like I always say, seeing
OU ranked in the top-10 is a gift anymore, because he can't earn it.
