(9/21) Tennessee, Oklahoma Series Set, OU-Texas Home-Home Series and more.

Oklahoma Football Notes and Articles

Tennessee & Oklahoma Series Set: He might not be on the sidelines then. But Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops was enthusiastic about Tuesday's announcement of a series with Tennessee in 2014 and 2015. In an era when marquee nonconference matchups appear to be growing scarcer, Tennessee is another in a growing list of attractive big-name opponents on OU's future schedules. "We have a bunch of them," Stoops said. "And some other people aren't playing them." Tennessee will visit Norman on Sept. 13, 2014. OU visits Knoxville, Tenn., on Sept. 2, 2015. Next season, OU hosts Washington and travels to Oregon. In 2007, OU plays at Washington. Future schedules include Miami (2007 and 2009), Florida State (2010, 2011), Notre Dame (2013, 2015) and LSU (2018, 2019). (NewsOK.com)

OU-Texas going to Home and Home series? University of Oklahoma President David Boren said the OU-Texas football series has a greater chance than ever of becoming a home-and-home series. Boren said the city of Dallas' unwillingness to improve the Cotton Bowl, coupled with recent football stadium renovations at both universities, are turning the tide toward the Longhorns coming soon to Norman. The game will remain at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, on the State Fair of Texas grounds, at least until 2008. "I wouldn't say yet that it's likely," Boren said of a home-and-home switch, "but I would say it's looming as a much greater possibility than people would have thought a few years ago. My mind is open on it, very open on it. We've given Dallas every opportunity, and I think Dallas has really missed the boat." If the series does move, Boren can envision a home-home-and-neutral site rotation or simply a straight home-and-home. The games should continue to draw many thousands of fans from both schools, he said, which means bringing 20,000 or more fans of the visiting team to the host school. (Norman Transcript)

Cooper returns: Wilson was glad to have true freshman center Jon Cooper back for practice this week after a knee injury. He hasn't been completely released yet but should be ready for full work next week. (NewsOK.com)

Smith not yet ready for punt returning: Stoops was asked if strong safety Reggie Smith, who has been returning kickoffs, might get a shot at the job. "I'm going to have a guy back there that I see catch the ball all the time in practice," Stoops said. "Lendy demonstrated that all throughout practice, but hasn't done it in the games. Jejuan Rankins does it, but he's had a bad ankle. "Reggie needs to do it better in practice before I put him back there in a game. That's the bottom line. Not until I see it over and over and over that the ball's secure. That's what needs to happen." (Norman Transcript)
