Published November 22, 2006 12:03 am - Williams uncertain for Saturday John Shinn's Oklahoma Football Notepad The Norman Transcript Free safety Darien Williams’ status for Bedlam remains up in the air. He suffered a cartilage tear in his right knee in last Saturday’s game at Baylor.
He has been cleared by OU’s medical staff to play, but it’s matter of Williams playing through the injury. He said after practice Tuesday, he believes he’ll ready to go Saturday. “Probably,” he said, “I don’t know for (how much) use, but it’s looking that way.” Defensive backs coach Bobby Jack Wright said if Williams can’t go, the Sooners will move nickelback Nic Harris to free safety in the base defense sets. Harris will remain at nickelback in the nickel and dime sets and Jason Carter will play free safety. Thanksgiving Last year, OU defensive end C.J. Ah You and his family held a Thanksgiving dinner for all the players who couldn’t go home for the holiday. Ah You said they’ll do it again Thursday. “I have a big extended family so this is nothing new to me,” he said. “We have a lot of fun.” When to play? OU’s coaching staff hasn’t hid the fact that, if it were up to them, Bedlam wouldn’t be the last regular-season game. Stoops pointed out when the Sooners and Cowboys played in October of 2003 and 2004, ESPN’s “College GameDay” was at both Owen Field and Boone Pickens Stadium. But linebacker Curtis Lofton, who is from Kingfisher, said he likes ending the regular season against OSU. “I kind of enjoy the fact that it’s a big game,” he said. “It’s a great way to end the season … playing against our rivals.”
