(9/1) Peterson on Watchlist, Gameday Security, Sooner Articles and more

Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes

Peterson on Doak Walker Watchlist:
The Guaranty Bank SMU Athletic Forum Thursday announced the candidates for the 2006 Doak Walker Award, presented annually to the nation's top college running back. Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson, who in 2004 was the first freshman ever to be a finalist for the Doak Walker Award, is on the preseason watch list. Peterson, who is also on the watch list for the Maxwell Award, which is presented to the top player in college football, enters this season with 3,033 career rushing yards. He is chasing the coveted OU career mark of 4,118 yards held set by Billy Sims from 1975-79. Last season, Peterson gained 1,108 yards despite missing all or more than half of four games due to injury. The Guaranty Bank SMU Athletic Forum Board of Directors will select the semifinalists on Nov. 15, and the Doak Walker Award National Selection Committee will vote to determine the finalists on Nov. 16. The committee will cast a second vote on Nov. 27 to determine the recipient. (SoonerSports.com)

Gameday security: The explosion outside Memorial Stadium during OU's game against Kansas State last Oct. 1 triggered a re-evaluation of OU's security measures. "For the most part, the policies are the same," said Matt Trantham, OU's associate athletic director for event management. "What has changed is our ability to prepare and train (security staff) for any of those types of situations." Trantham said the security staff has not been beefed up. Also, the only item fans may not take inside the stadium that they could in the past is stadium seats over 16 inches wide. (Tulsa World) More on Oklahoma vs UAB at Next Game Preview page.

Oklahoma Sooners Media Guide Reprinted: School officials have reprinted the football media guide and scrubbed the publication clean of all references to Rhett Bomar and J.D. Quinn, who were dismissed Aug. 2 for violating NCAA rules by accepting money for work they did not perform at a car dealership. School spokesman Kenny Mossman said 600 books were printed and bound for Big 12 media days. The school initially printed the pages for 13,500 books, which cost the athletic department $80,000. Mossman estimated the reprints would cost less than $40,000. The media guide lists a disclaimer saying the books were printed at no cost to taxpayers. (Dallas Morning News)

Walk-on long snapper "Excellent": True freshman Derek Shaw, a walk-on from Sand Springs, won the deep-snapping job with a consistent month of workouts."He's been excellent," Stoops said. "He's had good speed on it and his protection's been good." Shaw replaces Jacob Rice, a walk-on from Norman who spent the last four years in the deep snapper role. (NewsOK.com)

Stoops may redshirt McCoy: Asked if [Gerald] McCoy will redshirt, OU coach Bob Stoops said: "We're close to making that decision. We'll see. He's close." (Tulsa World)
