Whaley cleared to lead Sooner run game

by

Oklahoma Coach Bob Stoops said Monday that running back Dominique Whaley has been cleared by doctors to participate in full workouts and appears on track to return from a broken ankle that ended his season in 2011.

But how effective Whaley may be is a wait and see issue.

“He’s been cleared to do everything,” Stoops said. “So, he’s out there running and training and I’m not able to work with him, so it’s a little bit tough.”

“I don’t think Dom even knows until you get the pads on and make that sudden cut. … He says he feels really good and he’s working well.”

“Until you get out there, it’s kind of hard to say,” Stoops said.

Metoyer, Bell put on show for Red-White

There are two seasons in Oklahoma: football season and tornado season.

They overlap for the Sooners’ Spring Red-White Game in April.

Franks’ 52 yard kickoff return to open the second half was an energizing factor for the Sooners. Other young players like Tony Jefferson (wearing Austin Box’s No. 12), Kameel Jackson and Trey Millard played well and have us looking forward to the 2012 season.

But, with Ryan Broyles, Jaz Reynolds, Dom Whaley and Ronnell Lewis not playing, and the second-tier Insight Bowl being far beneath the high pre-season expectations for Oklahoma, it was perhaps understandable that some pundits foresaw an Iowa upset of an unmotivated Sooners team.

An upset did not happen. And, this team was very motivated.
