OU football: Parnell Motley riding the wave at cornerback for the Sooners

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — It's been a roller coaster season for Oklahoma junior cornerback Parnell Motley.

There's been the highs of a game-clinching overtime interception against Army early in the season and the lows of an abysmal performance against Texas in a loss that cost him his starting job.

Plenty of it has been self-inflicted and some of it hasn't (Big 12 officials told Lincoln Riley that Motley's pass interference penalty against Texas Tech that wiped out an interception should not have been called). But in a time where it's hard to find bright spots in a defense that has struggled, Motley has been one for the Sooners.
