Aaron Colvin has signed with Washington less than a week after getting released by the Texans. The former Sooner had a solid 4 years with the Jaguars before being acquired by Houston before the 2018 season. His trajectory with the Texans was less than remarkable, reaching its nadir on Monday night where he was targeted several times, ultimately giving up the pass to Ted Ginn which set up the game winning field goal. He was released a day later. Per CBS, “The Redskins are hoping to get the 2017 version of Colvin, who would have to compete with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie…
It was 16 years ago this week that one of the greatest punt return performances in college football history met with some of the poorest punting decisions in CFB history. On September 20th, 2003, Sooner Legend Antonio Perkins kept returning punts for touchdowns as long as UCLA inexplicably kept punting to him! Let’s hope for just one or two of these on Saturday when OU returns to the Rose Bowl to finish up another Home-And-Home with UCLA.
Former Sooner standout Aaron Colvin has been released by the Texans after just one year and a game into 4 year deal.

The university has announced that this weekend’s season opener with Houston will be a ‘white out’, where all fans are encouraged to wear white. No doubt you are familiar with the Stripe The Stadium events in season’s past, where fans where Red or White depending on what section they will be sitting in. No need to check your tickets for this game, however, as everybody’s en blanco. Need some Cream Sooner gear? We got ya covered:
Shout out to one-time Oklahoma Sooner Tommy Grady, who is now an Arena Football League champion and MVP! Grady led the Albany Empire over the Philadelphia Soul 45-27 in ArenaBowl XXXII on Sunday to win the title in their second year of existence. The one-time backup to Jason White threw 5 touchdowns, at stat line that would fit right in with any Heisman winning QB in the Stoops or Riley era. While Tommy didn’t get much of a chance either behind Heisman winner White or after he transferred to Utah, he is an absolute legend in AFL. In addition to an ArenaBowl Championship and…
With fall camp underway, Dennis Dodd takes a look at the key storylines coming up in a few weeks. Dodd ranks QB transfers as the 6th most interesting storyline. Oklahoma is actually a part of 2 QB transfers, with Jalen Hurts coming in, and Austin Kendall heading to WVU.

Georgia’s Justin Fields replaces the Big Ten’s single-season passing leader at Ohio State. OSU’s Tate Martell is eligible right away at…
