NORMAN — When Creed Humphrey settled into his stance on Oklahoma's first series last Saturday, the center from Shawnee represented the state in a manner unseen for quite some time.
Not since Gabe Ikard and Bronson Irwin were seniors in 2013 has an Oklahoman played a significant role on OU's offensive line.
Not since 2012 has a freshman started at center for the Sooners. Ty Darlington made one start that season as a true freshman. Humphrey, a redshirt freshman, is likely to start at center for the rest of the season after winning the job in Week 2.
