Schedule does Sooners a favor

The Norman Transcript

The work Oklahoma did preparing for last week’s game against Texas Tech should pay dividends against Baylor.

The Bears have installed an offense very similar to the one Mike Leach installed at OU in 1999 and has run at Texas Tech since 2000.

“It definitely is an advantage having to work it back to back,” OU coach Bob Stoops said. “We just worked it the entire week last week. We can look at what we didn't do well, change up some things and wrinkles hopefully that can help us. Our guys are familiar with the routes and schemes and what they like to do.”

The Sooners held the Red Raiders to 281 total yards last Saturday. That was well below the 475 yards Texas Tech averaged in its previous games.

Over the last two games, OU has faced the Big 12’s best rushing team — Texas A&M — and passing team — Texas Tech.

Defensive back Nic Harris said it will be nice preparing to face a familiar offense, but he doubts it will happen too often.

If a bunch of teams ran the same stuff, it would make for some bland games.

“There wouldn’t be too many wins and losses, just a bunch of ties,” he said.

He wants back in

No determination has been made concerning when Adrian Peterson will play again.

Monday, OU coach Bob Stoops said Peterson, who suffered a broken collarbone Oct. 14 against Iowa State, will be evaluated next week to see how he is progressing.

His roommate, cornerback Marcus Walker, said Peterson is anxious to get back on the field.

“It tears him apart that he can’t play and it’s real tough on him that he can’t play,” Walker said. “He’s trying to get back out there as fast as he can, but he needs to make sure he’s healthy first. Hopefully that’ll be in the next couple of weeks so we’ll be able to have him out there ready to roll.”
