OU plans to Harris as middle linebacker option: Oklahoma played possum with Kansas all the way through pregame warm-ups Saturday, when Austin Box was seen drilling at middle linebacker between starters Keenan Clayton and Travis Lewis. Then the game started; free safety Nic Harris went in at middle linebacker (replacing the injured Ryan Reynolds), and Box never saw the field. Now that the secret is out, just how permanent is OU's personnel move? "I think we'll use (Harris) as an option and a linebacker as an option," defensive coordinator Brent Venables said Sunday, "depending on what (opponents) are giving us on the field personnel-wise."

Oklahoma Sooner Football Articles and Notes

Sam Bradford named Walter Camp player of the week: Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford has been named the national offensive player of the week by the Walter Camp Foundation. Bradford was honored for his play in OU's 51-13 win over Miami. The redshirt freshman from Oklahoma City completed 19-of-25 passes for 205 yards and a school record five touchdowns (tied) with no interceptions in Oklahoma's convincing non-conference victory. The TD passes tied a record for the most ever allowed by Miami. Just one week earlier, the Hurricanes' defense picked off four passes in a win over Marshall. Three of Bradford's touchdown throws went to Malcolm Kelly from 23, 24 and 30 yards. He also threw a six-yarder to Jermaine Gresham and a nine-yarder to Dane Zaslaw. Bradford hit his first four passes of the game to extend his string of consecutive completions to 22, an OU record and just two shy of the NCAA mark. (SoonerSports.com)
