Sooner's Complete Second Scrimmage
Work on Both Sides: The inevitability of any intrasquad scrimmage is encouragement and heartache for the offense and defense. Such was the case Saturday when both sides came up with big plays in Oklahoma’s second major scrimmage of the spring. The Sooner offense had a pair of lengthy scoring drives then added three more scores in red zone drills, while the defense picked off four passes and was credited with 10 sacks. Redshirt freshman quarterback Rhett Bomar directed both of the scoring drives during the regular portion of the scrimmage. The first score came on a four-yard run by Kejuan Jones to cap an eight-play, 75-yard drive. Bomar hit Travis Wilson on a 66-yard touchdown pass to cap the other scoring march. It covered 75 yards in five plays. Bomar finished the day completing 9-of-16 psses for 153 yards. He was intercepted once. Paul Thompson connected on 14-of-19 for 123 yards with one touchdown and one interception, while Tommy Grady was 7-of-13 for 63 yards with one touchdown and a pair of interceptions. (SoonerSports)
