Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Nessler expects same OU-Texas Game: ABC play-by-play announcer Brad Nessler doesn't believe Saturday's nationally televised OU-Texas game has lost its luster, despite each team having one loss. "I kind of get a kick out of everyone saying it's lost its luster," Nessler said Wednesday in a telephone interview. "I said to Mack (Brown) and Bob Stoops (Wednesday), lost its luster? Let me see. One team lost to the No. 1 team in the country and one team lost a game that they got robbed in. So what's bad about that? "You take away that, and they're both top 10. Even at this stage, Mack can't believe that Oklahoma is not ranked in the top 10. "That game at Oregon (OU's 34-33 loss on a disputed onside kick call) -- we just thought we were making progress with instant replay and that game set it back five years, if you ask me." (NewsOK.com)
Sooners confident with off-week: The Sooners have been asked repeatedly if having an atypical two weeks to prepare for Texas -- the first time that has happened since 1984 -- would affect their emotional readiness. "If you look back, our record when we've had extra time has been pretty good," Stoops said at one point. Indeed, the Sooners are 10-0 when coming off bye weeks during the regular season under Stoops.

First-year coach Patton ready for OU-Texas: First-year OU offensive line coach James Patton said he's excited about his first OU-Texas experience. This game was first mentioned to him by fans soon after he was hired. "Shoot, it was probably the first day I took the job," Patton said. "Everybody talks about that game. I've been in some good venues in the Big 10, but it sounds like this will be the best ever. "The Cotton Bowl and that environment, with the state fair and everything, I see it on tape from last year and you see outside the stadium and everything going on out there. It just looks like a real fun atmosphere." (NewsOK.com)
