Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Stoops Weekly Press Conference: Oklahoma's Coach Bob Stoops live weekly press conference is scheduled at NOON CT, available streaming on SoonerSports.com.
Vote Peterson for Player of the Week: The USA Today has selected Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson, among the 5 nominees for the Weekly Player of the Week. Sooner fans have until noon Wednesday, to vote on USAToday.com.
Stoops hasn't changed opinion on NCAA rules: One game into the season, Stoops hasn't changed his opinion on the NCAA's new timing rules. OU and UAB combined for just 110 offensive plays, the fewest in 50 years for an OU game. The previous low during that span was 112 for the 1960 OU-Colorado and the 1962 OU-Missouri games. The Sooners ran only 53 plays against the Blazers. "I don't believe it's what we need in college football or what we want," Stoops said. "And I don't believe it's what the fans want. It's what the networks need to set their programming. "I believe 85,000 people pay to see more than 53 plays on offense and defense." (NewsOK.com)
Johnson back to practice: Sophomore wide receiver Manuel Johnson was held out of Saturday's game with an ankle injury. Stoops said Johnson practiced Monday and should be able to play Saturday when the Sooners face Washington at 2:30 p.m. at Owen Field. "He looked good," Stoops said. Johnson caught 10 passes for 170 yards last season, including a 55-yard touchdown grab against Oklahoma State. (Norman Transcript)
