Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops made two things clear Monday: There won't be a change at quarterback for the Sooners and he is OK with the direction his program is headed. Stoops declined to publicly criticize junior quarterback Blake Bell or co-offensive coordinators Josh Heupel or Jay Norvell following the Sooners' woeful offensive performance in a 41-12 loss Thursday to No. 4 Baylor that effectively knocked Oklahoma out of the Big 12 Conference title race. Despite calls from some quarters for sophomore Kendal Thompson - who missed almost all of preseason practice with a fractured foot and hasn't played this season - to have a shot at quarterback, Stoops said Bell would remain the starter when No. 22 Oklahoma (7-2, 4-2) hosts Iowa State (1-8, 0-6) on Saturday. The Sooners played in the national-title game after the 2008 season.
