Stoops: Bradford Decision to Come Friday
October 08, 2009 | Football
NORMAN, Okla. -- Coach Stoops has decided that the announcement relative to Sam Bradford's availability for Saturday's game against Baylor will be made Friday.
Stoops provided this quote at his weekly press conference on Tuesday: "If he's not going to play effectively, in other words to be able to sling it out there in a split second when he sees something pop open, then he understands that maybe he isn't benefiting the team and he knows that Landry has played well. In the end, he has to gauge how confident he is in making the throws and working the offense. Truly, he's the only one who knows how he feels."
Sam Bradford also met with the media on Tuesday and provided insight into the decision-making process: "I think I have a big percentage of that decision but I think overall the coaches are going to have to watch the way I practice this week. Ultimately, they'll probably decide if they feel like I'm ready to help this football team win this week."
The No. 17 Sooners (2-2, 0-0 Big 12) and Baylor (3-1, 0-0 Big 12) face off at 2:30 p.m. (CT) on Owen Field. The matchup will be televised regionally by ABC. Fans should consult the network's coverage map to see if their local ABC affiliate will have the OU game.
A limited number of tickets are also available for this Saturday's Baylor football game. View this release for complete information. For complete coverage throughout the week and broadcast options for following the Sooners around the world, please visit Sooner Gameday Central.
