(9/4) Sooners Gain ex-Raider Commitment, Injury Updates, and Oklahoma Articles
Report: Lineman switches commitment, from Texas Tech to Oklahoma: Two-star offensive lineman Kody Cooke of Enid High School attended the Oklahoma-UAB game Saturday, even though he was committed to Texas Tech. On Sunday, Oklahoman staff writer Blake Jackson learned Cooke called Lubbock to give Tech coach Mike Leach the news. He was changing his commitment to Oklahoma. "I came to the decision last night," said Cooke, who originally committed to Texas Tech in June. "I visited with coach Stoops last night before the game. It was a casual conversation. Then he asked if I had any questions. "After all my questions were answered, I made the decision. I've grown up watching OU my whole life. I want to be a Sooner and that's all I want to be."

Sooners Injury update: Fullback Matt Clapp missed time in the fourth quarter with an ankle sprain that coaches do not expect to be serious. Junior Ian Pleasant, who shifted from linebacker in two-a-day practices, played well in his place. Senior linebacker Zach Latimer missed a few plays during the first half with a stinger in his neck, but there's no lingering effect. After an ongoing battle with a knee injury, sophomore receiver Manuel Johnson did not play, but offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson expects Johnson to be "full go" this week. (NewsOK.com)
Wolfe must improve to keep starting job: The Oklahoma defense has plenty to work on from Saturday night's 24-17 season-opening win over Alabama-Birmingham, but a starter or two could be playing for their jobs. Head coach Bob Stoops pointed to junior cornerback D.J. Wolfe. "He needs to play better," Stoops said Sunday. "Otherwise, we need to work Lendy (Holmes) more." After Saturday night's game, tackling was an area of concern for the coaches, and it remained as such after viewing game tape. (NewsOK.com)
