Oklahoma football: Why has WR Marvin Mims been missing in action?

Marvin Mims led the Oklahoma football team in receiving last season as a true freshman.

He caught 37 passes for 610 yards and nine touchdowns a year ago. His nine touchdown receptions established an OU freshman record, and he became the first receiver in school history to Freshman All-America status in a vote by the Football Writers Association of America.

Great things were expected of Mims in his sophomore season, and he started off right on cue with a five-catch, 117-yard performance in the Sooners’ season opener against Tulane.

Since then, however, Mims has rarely been targeted.
