Boomer Brain Buster: Twice in OU history, three OU receivers gained over 100 yards in the same game

The countdown and anticipation of the return of Oklahoma football and Week 1 of the 2025 season is less than 20 days away. Periodically throughout the season, we will offer brain busters from Sooner football history as a way of looking back and reflecting on the rich tradition and historical accomplishments of one of the all-time great programs in the history of college football.

Today's question and fun fact involves receiving, something that hasn't been a key component of Oklahoma's offensive attack for most of the Sooners' 130-year history. In fact, legendary Sooner head coach Barry Switzer, during the Wishbone era, liked to refer to the famous quote most often credited to Darrell Royal, himself an OU alum and former player but more notably associated with Texas Longhorn football.
