(10/28) No Change for Baker, But a Change in Surface, and Oklahoma Football Articles
Oklahoma Football Notes and Articles
No change for Baker: Sophomore free safety Lewis Baker was responsible for Baylor's late, long touchdown pass last week. But coaches said Baker has been playing well and that they don't anticipate a change at the position. "Lewis has been playing awfully good," coach Bob Stoops said. "He understands the mistake he made. It's just a situation we've got to learn from, and hopefully not (have) happen again." Baker, a converted linebacker, started the first two games of the season at strong safety. He has started the last two at free safety. Co-defensive coordinator Bobby Jack Wright, who coaches the secondary, said Baker got caught too close to the line of scrimmage while disguising a pass coverage, and wasn't able to get back to his deep position in time.

Change in Surface: Saturday's game will mark the first time this season Oklahoma has played on an artificial surface. It also will be just the second true road game for the Sooners, who lost at UCLA in their first one. Two weeks ago, they beat Kansas in a contest held in Arrowhead Stadium at Kansas City, Mo. They also played Texas in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. (Husker Extra)
