Backup QB position still undetermined: With only a week and a half until the opener, Sooners coaches still aren't ready to reveal who quarterback Sam Bradford's backup will be. Both true freshman Drew Allen and redshirt freshman Landry Jones continue to compete for the spot. So far, neither has outshined the other. "They are doing well, but they still need work, and you still go back and appreciate how good Sam was as a second-year guy," Wilson said. "We need them to heighten their sense of urgency, because there is a chance that they will play." (The Oklahoman)
Franks impresses: Saturday, Dominique Franks picked off two passes, one of which he returned 42 yards for a touchdown. "Dom's really come along great," coach Bob Stoops said. "He's a guy that has a great feel and a knack in the secondary and I thought he played really well." (The Oklahoman)
Landry Jones has work todo: Saturday's Red/White Game played to mixed reviews, particularly for Landry Jones, Oklahoma's freshman backup to Heisman winner Sam Bradford. "I thought Landry made some mistakes that will really hurt you over the course of a game," position coach Josh Heupel said. "He stepped up and made some plays as well. That's kind of the growth pattern of a young quarterback. The biggest thing for a young quarterback is finding a way not to beat you," Heupel said. "And (Jones) did some things today that would have helped get us beat." (Tulsa World)
Ratterree separates shoulder: The Sooners were without several key players but came out of the game with only one injury. Tight end Trent Ratterree, who caught four passes early, separated his shoulder. But Stoops said he didn't think the injury was too serious and expects Ratterree to be back before fall camp.

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)."

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)
Iglesias working out for NFL teams: Former Sooner wideout Juaquin Iglesias was in Chicago on Tuesday to meet with the Bears and conduct a private workout, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
