* Staff picks: OU at Auburn . A site divided again. All we all know? It's going to be one heck of an interesting Saturday at Auburn. (Staff)
* The Scoop . More fallout from the week that was for OU and where the Sooners go from here? (Josh McCuistion)
* How the Murray family has helped Michael Hawkins Jr. for this moment . Kevin Murray has been there almost every step of the way with Hawkins to get him ready for what's coming Saturday. (George Stoia)
* Trying to avoid a 'fractured' OU program . The defense is playing at such an elite level that it's imperative for everybody to stay on the same page, no division or fracture. (Bob Przybylo)
* Everybody out (kidding, sort of) for OU-Auburn . The top five receivers, a crucial piece at running back. Rough week for Sooners and their availability report. (Przybylo)

* Brent Venables, Hugh Freeze need this one badly . Two head coaches who need this one, cannot afford to go 0-2 in the SEC. But one of them will. (Andy Staples)
