Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said a decision on Adrian Peterson availability for Baylor won’t be made until Thursday. He wants to see how Peterson practices before fully evaluating his status.

“And I’m not playing here with that,” Stoops said. “I think it’s been obvious, we’ve tried to play him. And like I said, when you get into game speed and really need to push off and make a game-type cut, when it comes to that, he has been a little more tender than he thought he would be.

Stoops was asked if he was delaying the decision to make sure Baylor has to prepare for the Sooners with Peterson factoring into the gameplan.

“(Baylor) would have to answer that,” Stoops said. “I don’t know that it would change their thought-process a whole lot. Like we have been, we’re going to work towards and do our best to have him ready.”

Stoops said he expects receiver Travis Wilson (ankle), guard Davin Joseph (neck), safety Lewis Baker (dizziness) and cornerback Marcus Walker (knee) to all practice this week. He said cornerback Eric Bassey (thigh) “is closer” to returning and “there’s a decent chance he could play,” but center Chris Chester (knee) is out.

Will Bomar run?

Quarterback Rhett Bomar only carried the ball five times against Kansas, but there was a reason for it.

Bomar was still recovering from a sore ankle suffered against Texas and the coaching staff wanted to limit his punishment against Kansas.

“He had it wrapped but it’s better this week,” Stoops said.

Whether Bomar will run more Saturday remains to be seen, but Stoops doesn’t see getting Bomar’s running as the answer to the Sooners’ offensive problems.

“That zone read play isn’t the answer to everything. Everybody runs it. Kansas ran it a bunch on us,” Stoops said. “They didn’t have whole bunch of rushing yardage.”

Replay review

OU got a huge break against Kansas when instant replay showed linebacker Rufus Alexander had intercepted a Brain Luke pass at the OU 1-yard line.
