Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops still doesn’t have a timetable for freshman defensive end Frank Alexander to return to the field. Alexander was stabbed in during an incident at a Norman night club Aug. 31. His right arm was injured and he’s been wearing a medical brace since.

“He’s improving, but we still have to wait week to week to see how far along his muscle is,” Stoops said.

Stoops said it’s very doubtful Alexander will be back for this week’s game at Washington. Wide receiver Brandon Caleb could return to the field after suffering an ankle injury last week.

“It was mild and it wasn’t a high one, so we’re hoping he’ll be back pretty soon,” Stoops said.

Bradford honored

The Davey O’Brien Foundation has named Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford the O’Brien Quarterback of the Week for Week 2 of the college football season. Bradford threw for 395 yards and five touchdowns in the Sooners’ 52-26 victory over Cincinnati.

Bradford’s performance helped OU extend its home winning streak to the nation’s longest at 20 games. The performance marked Bradford’s third career 300-yard passing game while his 29 completions also registered as a career high.
