In the words of Michael Scott, Scranton Branch Manager of the Dunder Mifflin paper company, "My how the turntables."

Sooners' linebacker Danny Stutsman was on the cusp of declaring for the NFL last week after a discussion with Brent Venables seemingly ended the All-American linebacker's time in an Oklahoma uniform.

Then, in an announcement that sent Sooner Nation into a frenzy, Stutsman pulled the rug out from under everyone with this:

Getting No. 28 back for another season is monumental for an Oklahoma defense that hopes to take another step toward becoming an elite unit.

In 11 games this season, Stutsman leads the Sooners with 99 tackles and 16.0 tackles for loss, adding 3.0 sacks, two forced fumbles, and an interception, which he returned for a pick-six.

With Stutsman and All-American safety Billy Bowman back next season, the Sooners defense could be a force to be reckoned with in its first year in the SEC.
