Rivals Ranks OU Special Teams #5 Nationally

Rivals.com ranks the Sooner special teams unit as the nation’s fifth best group heading into the 2011 season.

“K Jimmy Stevens doesn't have the strongest leg, but he was 19-of-23 on field-goal attempts last season, including 3-of-4 from 40-49 yards. Tress Way is one of the 10 best punters in the nation. He averaged 44.0 yards per attempt last season and has a 44.8-yard average in his career. Ryan Broyles had a down season as a punt returner last season, averaging 7.9 per attempt. He has taken two back for TDs in his career. OU will have a new kick returner this season. The Sooners' punt coverage unit was excellent but the kickoff coverage was atrocious, with a nation's-high four TDs allowed.”
