Oklahoma's Hybl welcomes new opportunity

NORMAN, OKLAHOMA - Oklahoma quarterback Nate Hybl is back in the starting lineup for the second-ranked Sooners. <br> <br> Hybl, a transfer from Georgia, began this season as the backup to Jason White. <br> <br> But White tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee last weekend against Alabama and is out for the rest of the season. <br> <br> Last year, Hybl won the starting job during fall workouts. But White took over midway through the season after twice coming off the bench and playing well after Hybl got hurt. <br> <br> In just his second start, against Nebraska, White blew out his left knee and Hybl got the job back. Oklahoma lost to the Cornhuskers, then won three in a row before losing to Oklahoma State in the regular-season finale. <br> <br> Hybl was sacked seven times by Oklahoma State and had three passes intercepted. The Sooners were ranked Number four at the time, and the loss cost them a spot in the Big 12 title game and a crack at a second straight national title.
