Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes
Broyles charged with misdemeanor: An attempted larceny misdemeanor charge was filed against Oklahoma wide receiver Ryan Broyles Tuesday, in connection with Broyles' arrest early last Friday for using a key and override codes to steal gas from a Norman convenience store. According to Greg Mashburn, the Cleveland County District Attorney's Office representative who filed the charge, a guilty verdict carries a maximum 15-day jail term and $1,000 fine. (Tulsa World)
Big 12 to name Commissioner today? Interim Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe and Indianapolis attorney Jack Swarbrick are the finalists to replace Kevin Weiberg as Big 12 commissioner, according to two sources close to the search. The two will interview this morning with the Big 12 Board of Directors, made up of presidents and chancellors from all the conference's schools, and plans are to announce the new commissioner today, the sources said. (Dallas Morning News)
Stoops on early kickoffs: "Selfishly, for us, (early kickoffs are) great, and the players as well," he said. "Because you get up and you're not having to sit around and think about it and wait for it all day. You get up and here it is, you go. So for us, I love it. But I recognize for the fans and everyone else that it is not the best. But we have no say-so at all in scheduling. That's all TV. We just play when they tell us to." (Tulsa World)
Patrick expected to start: Running back Allen Patrick returned to practice Monday and is expected to start. His injured ankle was the only medical question the Sooners had going into the season opener. "We had everyone practice yesterday and everyone looks good," Stoops said. Patrick will start Saturday and Chris Brown should play after missing the North Texas game due to a one-game suspension. "Like we planned all along, we want to rotate those guys in," Stoops said. "Give a guy a series here, give him a break here. If a guy's hot, stay with him a little longer." (Norman Transcript)
Gundy on D. Murray performance: "He's a terrific athlete," Oklahoma running backs coach Cale Gundy told The Post. "He can play cornerback, running back and wide receiver. I don't know how many touches a game we're going to get him, but we talk about that more than any other topic." (NY Post)
