(11/20) Stoops on Call, Oklahoma Post Game Articles and Columns
Oklahoma Football Notes and Articles
Cooper Injured at Center: Once again, OU lost a center to injury. Jon Cooper's broken leg or ankle, suffered in the second quarter forced Chris Bush into action. "I feel bad for Jon, more than anything,'' coach Bob Stoops said. "He was really playing well and he's a great young guy. It just hurts for him that he had a bad break.'' Bush, of course, had played center until breaking his right hand against Nebraska on Oct. 29. Bush had originally replaced Chris Chester, who missed several weeks with a knee injury. (NewsOK.com)
Stoops says call, is "part of the game": Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said Sunday he didn't see any point in protesting the touchdown call on Taurean Henderson's 2-yard run that gave No. 21 Texas Tech a 23-21 win on Saturday. A side official ruled Henderson reached the ball across the goalline before he was down on the final play of the game. Video replays didn't show conclusive evidence to reverse the call, and the touchdown was upheld. "That's part of the game -- the spots, the judgments, what they see," Stoops said Sunday. "I'm not going to sit here and whine about it and say that's why we lost." Three plays on Tech's game-winning 12-play, 65-yard drive were reviewed with the Big 12's new instant replay system. The others were a 5-yard touchdown pass from Cody Hodges to Joel Filani that was ruled incomplete after review, and a fourth-and-3 pass from Hodges to Danny Amendola on which the spot at the Oklahoma 23 was reviewed and upheld. Upon measurement, the catch earned Tech a first down by about one inch. "There are several plays. To me, the bigger issue is the fourth-down play," Stoops said. "Obviously, I see them differently."
