(9/22) White Wouldn't Want 2004 Title, Beeler May Start, and Dozen OU Articles

Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes

White wouldn't want 2004 Title, if forfeited: If a report that Reggie Bush and his family violated NCAA rules by accepting more than $100,000 worth of cash and services leads USC to forfeit its 2004 national championship, it wouldn't be much of a consolation to Jason White. The former Oklahoma quarterback wouldn't feel any different about the 55-14 drubbing USC handed his team in the Orange Bowl two years ago. "If they had to forfeit it, I wouldn't want the national championship. We didn't win it," White said in a phone interview. "When you get beat, you get beat." "I'm sure any other player wouldn't feel any differently. If anybody wasn't eligible, I wouldn't want anybody to tell me we were national champs two years later. As an athlete, I don't think it would be very accepting to take that. You definitely wouldn't feel like you earned it." Still, White believes if the allegations are true, some type of punishment is in order. (San Bernardino County Sun)

Beeler may see first start: True freshman Chase Beeler from Jenks will likely make the first start of his young career Saturday as starting center Jon Cooper nurses his sore ankle. Beeler played the final three series at center against Oregon after Cooper went out. Starting tackle Chris Messner likely will back up Beeler on Saturday. For quarterback Paul Thompson, the transition between Cooper and Beeler was smooth last week and he doesn't foresee any problems Saturday. (NewsOK.com)

Peterson wants to try punt coverage at gunner: Stoops said that isn't the only special teams spot the Heisman Trophy candidate wants to try. "He's been badgering me more about being a gunner on our punt team," Stoops said. "He wants to run down and hit somebody." The chances of Peterson finding his way onto the punt team are extremely slim, but he'd probably excel at the job. "Heck, he would be down on the return man before the ball, I guarantee you that. He would outrun the ball," Stoops joked. "Shoot, I would be scared that he would just run over the return man whether he caught the ball or not. I think he is so tired of getting hit that he wants to start hitting somebody. I don't think we will go that far with him, but he asks me about it two or three times a week. He would be the best gunner in college football if we would let him." (Norman Transcript)

Arizona's Mike Stoops favors Pac-10 policy change: The brother of Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops finds himself on both sides of the fence in the debate over whether the Pacific 10 should change its conference officiating policy in the aftermath of the school's game against Oregon. "They may move forward with this thing to get regional refs that don't have any bias, subconsciously or consciously," Arizona head coach Mike Stoops told the Oklahoma Daily on Wednesday. "I think it's good anytime you have out-of-conference [officials]. For out-of-conference games, all coaches I think would be for that." Stoops said he takes a lot of pride being in the Pac 10, but was upset by the calls. "I just thought it was ridiculous that they couldn't get all of the angles. It was pretty obvious, and not to see that Oklahoma had recovered those were just errors that are the fundamentals of refereeing," Mike Stoops said. (AP/ESPN.com)
