(9/2) Oklahoma Sooners Game Day, Adrian Peterson, Owens and more!

Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes

Both teams honoring the past:
Both teams will wear helmet decals in memory of a deceased dignitary. The Sooners will wear No. 38 to honor Prentice Gautt, the African-American who broke OU's color barrier in 1956, and who passed away in March, 2005. The Blazers will wear No. 68 in memory of Kirk Tuck, their all-conference center in 2002 who developed leukemia and died last July 24. (Tulsa World)

Game Day Reminder: With the chance of rain throughout Saturday in the Norman-area, umbrellas are prohibited from the stadium. Next Game Preview UAB vs. Oklahoma

Owens statue dedicated today:
Steve Owens didn't have to look long to find a design for a statue of himself that would be used in Heisman Park, located on the east side of the University of Oklahoma's Memorial Stadium. He recommended a work that had been done several years earlier by the late Nick Calcagno. A 7-foot-tall version of that sculpture will be unveiled during a ceremony at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. "I feel so blessed that this is happening," said Owens, who grew up in Miami then went to OU, where he won the Heisman Trophy in 1969. Calcagno used pictures of Owens taken by the late Ed Craig as the idea for the original statue, which is only about a foot tall. "Steve loved it," said Calcagno's widow, Carol. "He carried Nick's sculpture in (during a meeting with members of the Oklahoma Centennial Commission) and put it on the guy's desk. 'I don't want another sculpture - I already have one.'" The bronze statue of Owens is the second of four planned for Heisman Park, a joint effort of OU and the Oklahoma Centennial Commission. (News-Record)

Peterson looking for opportunity to catch:
Running back Adrian Peterson made the first catch of the 2005 season, a 7-yarder on the second play against TCU. Of course, he only made one more grab that afternoon, and just seven more the rest of the year. So what are tonight's plans? "I don't know, man," Peterson said. "We've got some plays laid out that will give the opportunity for all our running backs to get the ball in our hands out there. We'll see how many times they call that number." "Merv Johnson (OU's radio analyst) says (Peterson) is the worst guy to throw a screen to because everyone's watching him," offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said. (Tulsa World)
