2016 Oklahoma Sooners

[Vanilla_Sky]

Since 2005, Oklahoma has started 3, 5, 6, 7, 5, 6, 4, 3, and 3 whites. Oklahoma is a prime example of a program that has consistently fielded a roster that fails to even remotely reflect the local demographics.

The main interests on this team will be Heisman hopeful Baker Mayfield, who returns for his senior year, and WR/TE hybrid Mark Andrews (6'5" 250) who reportedly will be playing a much bigger role in the offense this upcoming year. DE Matt Simon also finally gets his opportunity to start.

Offense -
QB - Baker Mayfield
WR/TE - Mark Andrews
RT - Dru Samia (?)
RG - Alex Dalton

Defense -
DE - Matt Simon

Back up depth is almost non-existent and consists of QB Austin Kendall, RG Ben Powers, and FB Carson Meier.

Perusing a "where are they now" article about the starters on OU's 2000 National Championship team. It was Stoops' 2nd year at OU, and his only championship. It featured a 4/5 white o-line, QB, TE, 3 DL, and 2 LB. A total of 11 white starters. But now Stoops gets the 5-star affletes...

Stoopes either has serious cognitive dissidence or this is further evidence that winning is not really the main motivation in sports. It's social conditioning.
