(9/17) Peterson returning kicks, Sooner Injuries, and Oklahoma Notes

Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes

Peterson returning kick returns: OU's Adrian Peterson returned kicks for the first time as a Sooner, part of a strategy to prevent teams from benefiting by kicking away from Reggie Smith. "I hadn't done it since high school," Peterson said. "It takes work. You've got to read the blocks and understand and see what you've got set up." Peterson had 68 yards on three returns, with a long of 28 yards. (NewsOK.com)

Earplugs seem ineffective: OU's offensive players spent the week wearing earplugs in practice so they could focus. Whether it was the noise or Oregon's defense, quarterback Paul Thompson was clearly confused at times. OU was out of timeouts with 3:22 remaining in the first quarter. Coaches also had to call a timeout with 10:02 left in the third quarter, because Thompson lost track of the play clock. (Dallas Morning News)

Peterson big day: Adrian Peterson's 211 rushing yards carried him past De'Mond Parker and into fourth place on OU's all-time list. He trails fourth-place Quentin Griffin by 390 yards. Peterson's 279 all-purpose yards vaulted him by Mark Clayton for 10th place on the Sooners' all-time list. (Tulsa World)

Injury report, Cooper, Granger: Sophomore center Jon Cooper left the game with a left ankle injury. He did not return. Cooper's status for this week is uncertain. Redshirt freshman defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger was shaken up and walked off unsteadily. He did not return. (NewsOK.com)

Change in secondary: Lendy Holmes replaced D.J. Wolfe as OU's starting boundary cornerback Saturday. He struggled with Oregon wideout Jaison Williams (9 catches, 177 yards) early, and gave way to Marcus Walker during the Ducks' second series. Walker left midway through the third quarter with cramps, and Williams burned Holmes for a 30-yard touchdown on fourth-and-6 on the second play of the fourth quarter. Jason Carter played the whole game at strong safety in place of Keenan Clayton, who had started the first two games of the year, and led OU with 10 tackles. (Tulsa World)

No further discussion on future series: Saturday marked OU's third game with Oregon in 24 months. OU beat Oregon in Norman in 2004 and also played in the Holiday Bowl last December. OU athletic director Joe Castiglione said OU and Oregon have not discussed a future series. (NewsOK.com)
