Sept. 6 Cincinnati



All-America DT Terrill Byrd suspended for opener (cited for marijuana) but is expected to play at OU.

Oct. 11 vs. Texas



New defensive coordinator Will Muschamp ratcheted up the intensity in the spring, but needs a pass rush.

Oct. 18 Kansas



QB Todd Reesing had a strong spring, but doesn't have the WR targets he did in '07 Orange Bowl run.

Oct. 25 at Kansas State



New QB coach Warren Ruggiero used spring to fine-tune QB Josh Freeman (school-record 3,353 yds).

Nov. 1 Nebraska



Husker fans confident new coach (and ex-OU defensive coordinator ) Bo Pelini is a vast improvement.

Nov. 8 at Texas A&M



New coach Mike Sherman and defensive coordinator Joe Kines got a lot done, but much remains.

Nov. 22 Texas Tech



Ten returning starters (including QB Graham Harrell and WR Michael Crabtree) used this spring to get even better.

Nov. 29 at Oklahoma State



Missing TE Brandon Pettigrew limited the growth of the offense throughout spring.
