Notebook: Caleb questionable
Outside of the ankle injury to Brandon Caleb, Oklahoma emerged from the Kansas State game in pretty good health.
Sooner coach Bob Stoops wasn't ready to give an announcement of Caleb's status for this week's game at Nebraska Monday night.
Sooner defense sees slip-ups against K-State
Oklahoma got a big win Saturday night over Kansas State. Answering the Wildcats score for score down the stretch paved the way for the 42-30 victory.
But it left a big unanswered question -- what happened to the Sooner defense?
OU defensive coordinator Brent Venables summed it up quickly.
OU offensive line in sync
For the first time this season, the Oklahoma offensive line showed continuity. It actually had the same five starters for back-to-back games for the first time this season.
Trent Williams, Brody Eldridge, Ben Habern, Stephen Good and Cory Brandon also started as a unit against Kansas.
Sooners look like old selves
Costumes were everywhere Saturday night at Owen Field. Oklahoma showed up in one for Halloween, too. The Sooners looked a lot like last season's team in downing Kansas State 42-30.
The rugged defense that carried OU throughout its first seven games struggled.
Miller's here to stay
The first seven games of the season, DeJuan Miller has been playing musical chairs with Oklahoma. One week the sophomore is in the lineup making big plays, the next he's on the sideline barely touching the field.
Adversity handled
Bill Snyder proved a couple of things. In the division of the Big 12 Conference nobody appears to want to win, he's coaching a team that wants to win. And the program he took from dust to dominance is on the way back indeed.
Mason-Griffin and Gallon poised to make impact
Oklahoma has proven freshmen can quickly excel on the basketball court. The last two Big 12 Freshman of the year -- Blake Griffin in 2007-08 and Willie Warren last season -- both played their home games at Lloyd Noble Center.
Sooners' goal has not changed
The Oklahoma women took the podium Tuesday afternoon to introduce themselves and their season, which begins in exhibition fashion Nov. 4 against Rogers State and for real Nov. 13 against Mercer.
The Sooners did not pledge to end hunger, war or to save the environment.
Notebook: Stoops, Snyder have long history
For the sixth time, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops will face his former boss and mentor, Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, Saturday.
Stoops spent seven seasons as a defensive assistant on Snyder's staff at Kansas State from 1989-95.
