Strengths: With the reigning Heisman Trophy winner at quarterback (Sam Bradford), two tailbacks who rushed for a combined 2,222 yards and 34 scores in Chris Brown and DeMarco Murray, and a battle-tested defense that returns nine starters, the Sooners have the horses to return to the BCS title game.

Nagging questions: Bradford (4,720 yards, 50 touchdowns, eight interceptions) is as accurate a passer as there is in college. But with four new starters along the offensive line, one wonders if he’ll have anywhere near as much time to stand in the pocket and work his magic.

Make or break game: vs. Texas, Oct. 17. The Sooners will have a pair of interesting early season quizzes to pass versus BYU (Sept. 5) and at Miami, Fla. (Oct. 3), but this showdown in Big D is a must-see affair for any college football fan or NFL scouts worth their salt.

I love the Sooners and I say they whip the Gators this year for top honors. Got some good info from http://www.coachescorner.com where I get a lot of my free nfl and college picks every year. The best thing is their free football consensus of over 50+ handicappers plays for all those interested. Go Sooners!
