October 09, 2009 | Football
NORMAN, Okla. -- Sam Bradford, winner of the 2008 Heisman Trophy, will start at quarterback for Oklahoma in the Sooners' game against Baylor, Saturday.
The junior has been out since the season opener (Sept. 5) when he suffered a sprained shoulder joint.
"Sam has had a great week of practice and is ready to play," said OU Head Coach Bob Stoops after a morning meeting with Bradford. "We're obviously excited to have him back.
"We remain very pleased with the work Landry Jones did in replacing Sam and our entire program has a lot of confidence in his ability," Stoops added.
No. 17 Oklahoma (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.
