Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes

Bears speak highly of Iglesias: The Bears said Iglesias runs good routes and had some of the best hands in the draft. ''Every great team has role players,'' Iglesias said. ''I was a big role player. I had a big part of the offense, but like you said, it's a big program and other people overshadow other people. That's just how the game is, and that's how it was at Oklahoma. But it ended up good for me because I'm a strong player.'' (Chicago Sun-Times)

David King ahead of R.J. Washington on OU depth chart: Last year, R.J. Washington might have been the top prep defensive end in the country. But at the moment, he's working behind fellow redshirt freshman David King on the depth chart. "David King's really matured a lot," said defensive ends coach Chris Wilson. "Obviously, they're as raw as you can get right now, but David's improved and I really like his upside. "R.J.'s improvement right now, if I was going to rank him, I'd say R.J. is probably fifth in this group of guys coming back (behind Auston English, Jeremy Beal, Frank Alexander and King)." (The Oklahoman)

Landy Jones is backup to Bradford? So what happens if Sam Bradford goes down? The job likely goes to Landry Jones, who redshirted last season as Bradford was winning the Heisman Trophy. "I thought Landry . . . before (spring) break, started to come on and started to, you could tell, started to get more and more comfortable, which is good," head coach Bob Stoops said after a recent practice. . . . (He) seems to be coming along really well." (Tulsa World)

McCoy, Cooper, Murray injured: Defensive tackle Gerald McCoy hobbled off the field in the second half after twisting his ankle. But after a brief evaluation by trainers, he was back on his feet walking the sidelines. He never took his shoe off nor left the bench. "I'm good, I'm good," McCoy said.
