(1/3) OU's Fiesta Bowl Timeouts, Stoops on AD Decision, and Oklahoma Columns
Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Oklahoma's misuse of timeouts in second half: The Sooners burned their final two timeouts of the second half on defense with 4:24 remaining, spending their allotment without making the Broncos run a play. Stoops said some late substituting by Boise left the Sooners with a disadvantaged personnel group on the field. Stoops, who argued that the Boise player left the field too late, used his final timeout to offset the Broncos' changes. "We were in a bad position and I wasn't going to give a bad play up, just because of our alignment,” Stoops said. (NewsOK.com)
Stoops not anxious about A. Peterson decision: Some might expect Stoops to spend an anxious next few days, as Adrian Peterson makes a final decision about returning for his senior season. "No. I'm perfectly fine with whatever he wants to do," Stoops contended. "I'm going to do my best to give him some information and make sure he's well-informed from the proper sources. I'm for what he wants. He's got to look at himself in the mirror every day and be satisfied with what he's doing. I think too much of the time people don't give that enough weight and respect. It's his life to live." (Tulsa World)
BSU's Peterson on playing in the Fiesta Bowl: "We really felt like we belonged here all along," Boise State coach Chris Petersen said. "We really did. I think a lot of the people felt like we belonged here." (Dallas Morning News)
Kelly MRI scheduled: While broadcast reports said Malcolm Kelly had suffered a concussion Monday night, the Sooner wide receiver, in fact, injured his knee during the first quarter. An initial examination revealed no ligament damage, though Kelly was scheduled for an MRI Tuesday. "They think it's cartilage," Stoops said. "Hopefully it's not too bad." (Tulsa World)
