Bomar Released From Sooners' Squad
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=2537332
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops has announced that senior Paul Thompson will be named starting quarterback for the fall workouts.
Thompson had beaten out Bomar for the starting quarterback position last season, but after a season opening loss to TCU, Stoops named Bomar the quarterback and moved Thompson to wide receiver.
The move appeared to pan out as Bomar set an Oklahoma record for passing yards by a freshman and Thompson was an effective receiver for the Sooners.
Although the Sooners have a great defense coming back, Bomar was to be counted on to relieve pressure from Adrian Peterson, the team's Heisman contending tailback. Without a solid quarterback and an offensive line that is very inexperienced, look for OU to have trouble moving the football this season.
Bomar's dismissal should definitely open up the door for Texas to win their second straight Big XII Championship.
