DeMarco the return man?
The OU coaching staff is already using (DeMarco Murray) in single-back and I-formation sets, as well as in the slot on passing downs. In each spot Murray has produced in a big way all spring and he's doing it again today.

Good decision, bad decision
Here's the difference between quarterbacks Sam Bradford and Joey Halzle at this point.
Decisions — good and bad.
Just before Bradford put together the best drive of the Red-White game, capped by a 14-yard strike to Carter Whitson, Halzle had just fired a pass to a fellow Sooner — in White, meaning defense on Saturday. That came after Halzle threw into traffic earlier, before rallying late in the first half for a scoring drive.

What's that I see?
I can't believe my eyes. There really are names on the back of the Sooner jerseys. Even the White Team. This is significant. It's been a good, long while since OU fans have had the pleasure of squinting to find out who made a play.
Maybe Stoops decided to replace the names as a gift to fans and media, commemorating the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad and the Easter holiday.
Who knows?Holmes the playmaker
Right now, Lendy Holmes ranks behind Reggie Smith and Marcus Walker among defensive backs.
And as much as I like what Smith and Walker can do, Holmes always seems to make things happen. He's had two near interceptions, jumping out of nowhere to knock down the passes.
He snagged neither, but Holmes' instincts are evident.

Bradford better
Having seen exactly zero of Oklahoma's spring practices before (Saturday), I'm not the foremost authority on the Sooner quarterback derby.
But this I know: Sam Bradford looks pretty darn good.The Putnam City North product seemed thin and frail last year as a true freshman. But now, he looks thicker and heartier.
That's important when you're the man with the target on your chest.
Perhaps his play makes him look better, too.
