• Big 12 commish says he still likes instant replay

Big 12 commissioner Kevin Weiberg said he still favors the conference’s replay system despite the controversy it created in Oklahoma’s 23-21 loss to Texas Tech.

Monday, Weiberg participated in the football coaches teleconference to address numerous officiating questions involving the game.

“Obviously, we never want to see a game come down to a disputed call or controversial situation,” he said. “Fortunately, it has happened only rarely.”

Three plays were reviewed in the final 31 seconds of the game and most Sooner fans were unhappy neither a critical fourth-down play nor Taurean Henderson’s 2-yard touchdown run on the game’s final play were overturned.

The play was reviewed to see if Henderson’s knee was down before the ball crossed the line. Television replays from multiple angles didn’t provide enough evidence to overturn the ruling. There apparently wasn’t a shot from the side of the field where the official was.

Weiberg said the replay system is limited by the number of camera’s used at the game. He thought Fox Sports, which televised the game, was using seven to 10 cameras during the broadcast.

“No question, the quality of video is an important issue,” Weiberg said. “The replay official is limited to what he has available to him.”

OU coach Bob Stoops said after Monday’s practice that he had spoken with conference officials since the game. But he did not want to reveal what was said in the conversation.

Weiberg said all three plays should have been reviewed under league guidelines.

Wilson has surgery

Senior receiver Travis Wilson has undergone surgery to repair a stress fracture to his right foot.

Stoops thought the procedure would take place Monday, but Wilson actually went under the knife Sunday.

“It happened sooner than I thought it would,” he said. “It’s about a three-week recovery and hopefully whatever bowl game we are in, we’ll have him back.”

Freshman center Jon Cooper will wait a week before having surgery to repair a dislocated and fractured right ankle.
