(9/27) O-Line Impresses, Grading the Sooners and Oklahoma Articles
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Props to O-Line, Named Offensive Players of the Week: Guard Duke Robinson said all five starting offensive linemen were named the team's offensive players of the week for their performance against Middle Tennessee. The Blue Raiders had one sack, and the Sooners tallied 462 total yards. Running back Adrian Peterson had 128 yards and scored three touchdowns. (Dallas Morning News)
85-yr. old Pac-10 official speaks, kinda: The Oregonian newspaper reached the 85-year-old replay assistant who was in the booth for the OU-Oregon game Sept. 16. "I really need to honor the Pac-10 statement. They told me not to respond," Gordon Judd told the paper. "The whole thing was . . . a blown call. That's all I can say." Judd, who is from Salem, Ore., and replay official Gordon Riese have taken leaves of absence for the remainder of the season. (Tulsa World)
SHSU awaits Bomar appeal: Sam Houston State coach Todd Whitten said Tuesday that the school has not heard from the NCAA about quarterback Rhett Bomar's eligibility. Because his appeal is pending, the former Oklahoma quarterback is not allowed to dress out or travel with the Bearkats. That means he won't be in Austin for Saturday's game against seventh-ranked Texas. Bomar was dismissed from the Sooners football team along with offensive lineman J.D. Quinn in early August for accepting money from a Norman car dealership for work they did not perform. (Houston Chronicle)
A year later, Stoops pleased with experience: One extreme difference separates the Sooners now from the Sooners of a year ago and it hasn't gone unnoticed by Stoops. "I just realize the experience level from a year ago is drastically different on our team in a lot of areas that really matter," Stoops said. Areas where OU lacked experience last year -- receiver, defensive end, some parts of the secondary, among others -- are loaded with experienced players this season. (NewsOK.com)
