NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Oklahoma's Tony Jefferson intercepted
passes on three straight drives by Ball State last weekend and he
dropped a pass that would have given him four in a row.
Now, he's envisioning what kind of havoc he can wreak against
Texas (4-0) on Saturday in the Red River Rivalry game at the Cotton
Bowl in Dallas.
Jefferson is the latest to excel in the position some people
around Norman simply refer to as the "Roy." It's part linebacker,
part defensive back. But with the right person there, it's a
full-time playmaking position.
A decade ago, Roy Williams went flying over a blocker on his
"Superman" play, forcing Texas quarterback Chris Simms into an
interception that was returned for a touchdown and sealed
Oklahoma's victory.
The position he all but created still holds the same importance
for the third-ranked Sooners (4-0).
