Seldom does a conversation about a football team becoming much-improved from one season to the next involve the kicker.

But in the case of the Oklahoma Sooners, maybe it should.

Look, Bob Stoops probably still can't explain what in the world happened to the once-infallible Michael Hunnicutt last season. Perhaps the only explanation is to borrow from golf's psychiatric guide. Yep, he got the yips. Shortly after Honnicutt became the Sooners' all-time leading scorer last September, he couldn't hit anything, and it cost OU big.
