The lack of UAPB not having the program in place in order for Mark to recover from the injury added with the fact that the DAD wasn't considered for the AD position spearheaded the transfer. The DAD never wanted Mark to go to UAPB, but it was a MOM decision. Once he got injured and UAPB couldn't rehab him, the Dad was like "I told you so". Then he gave his old coach Barry Switzer a call. Barry asked Swoops to do him a favor and give Mark a look. Swoops did and like what he saw. Danny paid for Mark's first year at OU, then Mark EARNED a scholarship and the rest is history.
The passing game has been hurt ever since. Mark used to stretch the defense. He broke a college record with 3 punt returns for TDs in one half against TxSU. He also now holds the record for the most yards in the Hall of Fame game.
