(10/17) Reggie Smith MRI, Alexander expected to play, TX Recruits, and Sooner Articles

Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes

Gundy: "I felt we got beat":
OU running backs coach Cale Gundy, who worked daily with Adrian Peterson and played a key role in recruiting him to Norman, said he struggled all Saturday night with his star's injury. "It was hard," Gundy said. "Saturday after the game, I went home with my family. I watched some games on TV, played a little football with my son. We just kind of hung out. It was just kind of a rough feeling. "Even in the middle of the night, I woke up a couple of times. And when I woke up Sunday morning, I felt like we got beat." (NewsOK.com)

Smith undergoes MRI: Strong safety / punt returner Reggie Smith missed practice Monday because of a sprained left knee sustained in Saturday's 34-9 victory over Iowa State. OU coach Bob Stoops said Smith had an MRI performed Monday and was on crutches as a precaution. "They've looked at it and think it should heal up here fairly soon," Stoops said. "We're looking to hopefully practice him on Wednesday." (Tulsa World)

No further discipline for Alexander in incident, expected to play: Stoops said Monday that he was comfortable enough with the explanation concerning Rufus Alexander's early morning arrest Sunday that no further discipline would be necessary. "From what we understand today, no," Stoops said, "other than internally we'll work with him in some ways." Norman police captain J.D. Younger told the paper he believed [James] Wheeler instigated the confrontation. (In part NewsOK.com)

Bad break for the Peterson's:
After Peterson broke his collarbone diving into the end zone against Iowa State, possibly ending his college career, his family went ahead with postgame plans for a reunion; just a little get together to pick up everyone's spirits. But during the reunion, while shooting hoops at a nearby basketball court, Adrian's mother, Bonita Jackson, came down wrong and broke both bones in her lower leg. "It was a bad day," said Peterson's father, Nelson, who earlier in the day watched his son play football in person for the first time in more than eight years. "She went in for a layup and I think she stepped on somebody's foot. Broke it in two places. I was like, 'Man, son's collarbone is broke, his mother broke her leg in two places. I guess it's time for Daddy to sit down, take it easy, watch football and make sure nothing else happens.' " Jackson, reached by telephone at her home in Purcell, said she's on pain medication and will be at home for a while. (Tulsa World)

Sooners have two Texas recruits coming to visit
: Tatum (Texas) teammates Lennon Creer and Darnius Moore are heading to Norman, Okla., this weekend for official visits with the Oklahoma Sooners. Creer, a four-star running back, has already piled up more than 1,000 yards on the ground and 13 touchdowns this season. Moore is a receiver prospect who's also being looked at as a possible corner by some schools. The two players, though looking at several different schools, are excited to take their visit together this weekend. Moore even knows quite a few current players on the Sooners' roster. "I know Malcolm Kelly, Manuel Johnson, and Adrian Peterson," Moore said. "I played against Manuel and then had track meets with Adrian when he was at Palestine." Oklahoma is a school in the top three for Creer --along with Tennessee and Texas. The closeness to home is a big reason he's interested in visiting officially, but not the only reason. "Also, it's a lot of tradition -- and they win every year," Creer said about the Sooners. "They might have an off year, but they come back and do it again the next." (USA Today)
