(9/11) Sooners Remain Unchanged in AP Poll, Wilson pleased, and Oklahoma Articles
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Holmes and Walker compete for starting CB: Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables said Sunday that junior D.J. Wolfe is currently not in the picture to start at the boundary cornerback position next Saturday at Oregon. Instead, Lendy Holmes and Marcus Walker will compete in practice this week for the starting job. "D.J. will still have opportunities to get back out on the field," Venables said. "In what capacity, it kind of remains to be seen." Walker shed his redshirt in the ninth game of his freshman season and started the last four at cornerback. Injuries derailed his sophomore season, but his play in fall camp has him in the mix for a starting job again. "In fairness to Marcus, you still want to try to put your best corner on the field," Venables said. (In part NewsOK.com)
Wilson pleased with Peterson performance: Offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson praised RB Adrian Peterson's performance. He said the junior "ran through some trash" for 5- and 7-yard gains when he should have gotten 2 or 3. (Dallas Morning News)
Sooners remain 15th in AP poll: The University of Oklahoma remained at Number 15 in The Associated Press college football poll. The Sooners didn't move following a 37-to-20 win on Saturday over unranked Washington. The Sooners opponent next week -- the Oregon Ducks -- moved up two places to Number 18 after a 31-to-24 win over unranked Fresno State. Ohio State remains Number 1 after the Buckeye's 24-to-7 win on Saturday over then-second-ranked Texas. Texas fell six spots to Number Eight in the poll. (KOTV)
