Injured OL Brian Simmons felt OK after Tech game: Senior offensive lineman Brian Simmons had no adverse effects through the weekend after returning from a knee injury on Saturday. Though the knee was still heavily wrapped Monday, Simmons said he didn't have to come in Sunday for any extra treatment. He said he didn't have any outstanding pain after the return. "I kind of doubted if I'd be able to perform as well," he said. "But I did for the most part. I think I played OK coming back from an injury, but to my normal standards, I could have played better."

Stoops: Simmons Out; Broyles may play against Texas: Starting left guard Brian Simmons will miss No. 20 Oklahoma's game against third-ranked Texas this Saturday with a right knee injury. Simmons left in the third quarter of the Sooners' 33-7 victory over Baylor last week, hopping toward the sideline before trainers met him and helped him the rest of the way off the field. Stoops refused to say how long Simmons will be out. However, Stoops says Ryan Broyles, the Sooners' leading receiver, returned to practice and "there's a chance he could play" Saturday in Dallas.
