Most recent, his offensive philosophy has propelled the Auburn Tigers to the top of nearly every single offensive statistical category since his arrival last season. Under his guidance, this year’s Auburn...

Former Sooner Jameel Owens (#4) was cleared by the NCAA to play in 2010

On Monday, WR Jameel Owens got some good news from the NCAA. Owens, a former Oklahoma Sooner top-prospect, transferred to Tulsa to be closer to his sick mother.
