However, in 2009, there are still some questions that need to be answered before they can make that run. Following the 2009 annual Spring Crimson/Cream game, Oklahoma still has a few questions, but has a better gauge of their future team. And it is very promising to say the least.
Without further ado, I present to you the SoonersNews.com's 2009 Sooner Preview.
