Oklahoma middle linebacker Ryan Reynolds said Tuesday he is in the process of petitioning the NCAA for a sixth year of eligibility.

"We're trying to get a medical (hardship) right now," Reynolds said. "It's in the process with the NCAA right now. I don't think I'll find until the end of the season."

Reynolds, a fifth year senior, has suffered three major knee injuries during his time at Oklahoma. He missed the 2006 season due to a knee injury and missed the final eight games of the 2008 season due to a knee injury suffered against Texas. He also suffered a knee injury prior to the 2007 season that limited his playing time.

He feels good

OU quarterback Sam Bradford wouldn't say if his right shoulder was exactly 100 percent after the Baylor game. He did throw for 389 yards in first game back since suffering a separated shoulder in the season opener and didn't display any obvious effects of the injury. He may not be 100 percent, but he's not complaining either.

"My arm felt extremely good after the game. My arm strength is back," he said.

More on Broyles

Wide receiver Ryan Broyles continues to practice and still has a chance of playing against Texas. Offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said Broyles' shoulder blade, which was fractured against Miami, was good enough that there isn't a concern he could do more damage by playing.

"I know there's not a sense that they feel like he's going to injure it worse," Wilson said. "It's range of motion and pain tolerance, how productive can he play."

OU coach Bob Stoops said a decision on Broyles' status will be made either Thursday or Friday.

Sam's choice

OU left tackle Trent Williams said Tuesday that Bradford was pretty hot at halftime of OU's game against Baylor last Saturday. The Sooner offense struggled in the first half and the quarterback had no problem expressing his displeasure.

"That was the thing we were missing a lot was Sam's leadership," Williams said. "I haven't seen that in a long time and it kind of surprised me."
