Sam Bradford’s 2008 Oklahoma football season was one of the best ever recorded by a Sooner quarterback.
In his sophomore season as the OU starting quarterback, Bradford, who grew up as a boyhood fan of Oklahoma football in nearby Oklahoma City, had a career year, leading the Sooners to a 12-1 record and a spot opposite Florida in the 2009 BCS national championship game.
