We are big fans of EveryDayShouldBeSaturday.com, and today they have Sooner QB Landry Jones featured on “Mustache Wednesday”. Funny stuff. You can read the entire article here.
It was a sad ending to a terrific Sooner career for Oklahoma Sooner TE Jermaine Gresham as coach Bob Stoops confirmed that Gresham will enter the NFL draft next year. Gresham was a huge weapon and nightmare matchup for opposing defenses with his combination of size, speed and hands. He was a difference maker in the 2009 BCS Championship game against Florida as he caught two TD passes against the vaunted Gator defense. Gresham was expected to play a key role for this year’s Sooner offense, but unfortunately, injured his knee before the season opener against BYU. Most experts projected him to be a first round pick had he left for the NFL last year.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops doesn’t know whether Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford will be ready for Saturday night’s game at No. 17 Miami, but said it won’t be a game-time decision. “I would think we would know here later in the week what Sam’s able to handle and where we feel we’re at with it,” Stoops said Monday on the Big 12 coaches conference call. “I would think it would be earlier than (a game-time decision).”
OU officials announced that the Oklahoma-Miami football game will kickoff in prime time at 7 PM CST, or 8 PM EST. Typically the ESPN GameDay crew will also follow the Saturday night matchup, but no word on that yet. OU also announced that ABC will show the game in a split national telecast.
Keith Toston ran for 84 yards and three first-half touchdowns, and the Cowboys overpowered Grambling State 56-6 on Saturday night to finish their non-conference schedule with a 3-1 record.

It’s put up or shut up time this week in college football. We’ve had a plenty of surprises (Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and U.S.C.) and we’re starting to think we know what’s what. This week is a chance for many teams to earn their rankings and show that they belong with the nation’s elite. Just ask Mississippi. It was the fourth top-five team to lose to an unranked opponent this season. Read more »
For a 16th-ranked Oklahoma State team trying to kick a nasty turnover habit, Grambling State could be a daunting foe.

Oklahoma: A-plus: Landry Jones broke the school record for touchdown passes and the defense notched its second-straight shutout in an impressive victory over Tulsa. The line is blocking better and Sam Bradford got another week of rest. Whether he plays in two weeks against Miami remains to be seen, but Jones and the offense will go into that game with some confidence after this performance.
Brandon George of the Dallas Morning News analzyes Sooner WR Adron Tennell: Oklahoma senior receiver Adron “Pooh” Tennell of Irving has always had so much promise. I covered him when he played in high school before covering him again when he signed with the Sooners.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops won’t be talking any more about injured quarterback Sam Bradford’s progress until after the weekend.
“As he goes forward, they’ll give him more and more to do as the days come, and we’ll see how he handles it” Stoops said. “It’s too early to speculate, and I’m not going to.”

Bradford participated in drills during Monday’s practice and did some throwing of the ball. He did not throw full throttle and threw only short, 5-10 yard passes.
