Dvoracek Contributing, Stoops Quotes.. April 14th Notes and Articles

Dvoracek under Gag Order, but Contributing to Sooner's: When it comes to Oklahoma defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek, actions are all anybody has to go by. That's because there are no words coming from his mouth. The senior, who was reinstated in the winter after being kicked off the team in September for off-the-field behavior, is under a gag order imposed by Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. But while Dvoracek can't talk to the media, he can't keep his mouth shut on the field. "He's always out there saying something," defensive tackle Remi Ayodele said. "He's loud on the field, and that brings us a lot of energy." According to those around him, what Dvoracek brought back to football was a resolve. "Dusty probably relishes the opportunity to be back out there with his teammates and be able to put the pads on," defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. (NewsOK)

Quick Quotes From Coach Stoops: On the quarterback rotation for Saturday...
"They're all going to play about the same (number of reps). I don't pay attention to who goes first or whatever. They're all going to play about the same like we've done every scrimmage"

On the cornerbacks...
"Nobody's locked anything down yet."

On the three-man defensive line...
"We've done that every year. We've always had that in the long-yardage package. Three down linemen and four backers."

On J.D. Runnels and getting him more involved...
We're doing all we can to not get him banged up -- to get him out of there as quickly as possible. He's an excellent player. Even a year ago, we were getting the ball out of the backfield in more situations. I imagine as we get into next year, we'll do that as well. He's a sure-handed guy that runs well with the ball. He definitely needs to be utilized. People should have to deal with him."

On Rhett Bomar...
"He's competed real well. He's made excellent progress. He's an excellent competitor and a conscientious guy. He's showing that on the field." (More at SoonerSports)
