OFFENSE: There is no more pressing issue in Norman this fall than who out of three candidates emerges as the new quarterback. Neither junior Joey Halzle, redshirt freshman Sam Bradford, nor freshman Keith Nichol separated himself from the pack in the spring. Halzle is the only one with any experience in the college game, having thrown all of two passes. Bradford was a highly sought after high school quarterback who is ready to suit up after sitting out last year. Nichol is the much-coveted double threat who can run as well as pass. Coach Bob Stoops has solid depth in the backfield, as several backs will be counted on to help fill the void left by standout Adrian Peterson. All of the receivers are back, led by Malcolm Kelly (993 yards, 10 TDs) and Juaquin Iglesias. The offensive line is an extremely strong group with five players who started games last season, though massive transfer Phil Loadhoalt (6-8, 360) has been inserted atop the depth chart at left tackle after consecutive junior college All-American campaigns.

The Bears front seven was pushed around a fair amount in the latter stages of the 2007 season, so Chicago GM Jerry Angelo and head coach Lovie Smith are likely to focus on that area on the first day of the draft. A replacement for disgruntled linebacker Lance Briggs could come in the first round. Safety help should also be a priority for a team that has the oft-injured Mike Brown and Rams and Redskins failure Adam Archuleta on the current depth chart there. Offensively, there has been some lip service paid to allowing special teams ace Adrian Peterson back Cedric Benson at running back following the Thomas Jones trade, but it seems highly likely that Chicago will select a running back on the first day. Depth at wideout and along the offensive line will probably be among the second-day fare.
