Running back Mossis Madu said he sustained a concussion last season, and "some stuff was real blurry." He said the impact sensor designed to detect possible concussions was what actually contributed to his.
"The sensor gave me the concussion," he said. "I got hit on the top of the head, and it cracked down. There was a knot in the top of my head from the sensor."
Kelly said he has chosen not to wear his sensor.
"I used to have one, but I didn't like the way it felt so I took it out," Kelly said. "It makes the helmet heavier, too. . . . They kept putting it in there, and I kept taking it out, sneaking it back in my locker before practice.":D

Also Ap Says we're going to run the ball down the Aggies throat with the power running game. Hmmmm----What power running game? I wonder if KW's play calling and our OL can get 'er done??? or if we're baiting them? From what I've seen this year from our running game, and how many times it's been stuffed at the LOS, I bet we're baiting them, unless it takes a whole week of practice to switch over to a power running game and we can't make the adjustment on-the-fly, or during halftime after your starting QB goes out.
"We're going out there to prove a point that we can run the football. That's our game plan this week coming up,” running back Allen Patrick said. "We're going to go out there and establish the run game.”
"I think we're going to have to be able to run the ball regardless of who we have in there at quarterback,” tight end Joe Jon Finley said. "We're definitely going to have to run the ball to win.” DO With Murray out, Bradford uncertain, OU figures to run (http://newsok.com/article/3171257/1195543329)
Also interesting out of the NY times.

Sooners’ Road Woes

Oklahoma’s loss Saturday night to Texas Tech, which was unranked, further illustrates the Sooners’ recent road woes under the ninth-year coach Bob Stoops.
Since 2005, the Sooners have lost five true road games, excluding neutral site games. In the five seasons before then, the Sooners had only three road losses.
In his weekly news conference before the game against Texas Tech, Stoops answered tersely when asked about the subject.
“We’re probably better on the road than anyone in the league in the last eight or nine years; I would guess for sure, but maybe not,” Stoops said. “You might ask why we are so good on the road if we have the best record of everyone else.”
But that is not necessarily true. Since Stoops arrived at Oklahoma in 1999, he has lost 11 true road games. Texas has lost only four.
Finally, I will add that everyone reading this knows that two of the five true road losses cited in this post were, in fact, not really losses. Oregon last year and Texas Tech in ‘05 were both botched calls at the end of the game. Look it up.
So that’s three true road losses since ‘05 — one per year. Better than most, I would say.
