(10/2) Crossing Stateline, OU Notes and Columns
Oklahoma Sooner Footaball Articles and Notes
Crossing the Stateline: Finley said that crossing the Red River to play football at Oklahoma hasn't sat well with some of his friends back home. His family doesn't care, though. Finley's brother Clint played at Nebraska. The Huskers and Sooners both have rivalries with the Longhorns. "Every time we go home," Finley said, "somebody always gives it to you that you're a traitor for going over the state line." Finley saw limited action (about 15 plays) in last season's game against Texas. He missed a key block on third down that allowed Michael Huff to race through and smash quarterback Rhett Bomar.

Sooners' watch Ohio State-Texas BUT: Don't expect the Sooners to pull many pages from the Buckeyes' playbook and try to fit them into their offense. "We watch what everybody does against (Texas), not just Ohio State," OU coach Bob Stoops said. "If somebody runs the triple option against them and it works, it doesn't mean you do. We’ll do what we feel fits our players and our schemes." (NewsOK.com)
