NORMAN, Okla. -- University of Oklahoma Head Men’s Gymnastics Coach Mark Williams and Director of Athletics Joe Castiglione announced the Sooners' 2013 schedule today. After its 12th-straight top-three finish at the NCAA Championships, OU’s quest for a ninth national championship consists of 10 regular season meets, including three home meets at the McCasland Field House.

The Sooners will try and top a 2012 campaign that saw OU win the MPSF Conference Championship for the 11th time in the last 14 years before finishing second at the NCAA Championships. Seven OU gymnasts earned a total of 12 All-American honors and junior Jake Dalton won an individual national championship in the all-around and parallel bars.

The Sooners' senior quarterback stepped up to the podium to answer tough questions. The press conference followed the Sooners' lackluster performance in OU's 24-19 loss to Kansas State on Saturday in Norman.

The Big 12 Conference announced that the University of Oklahoma football game at Texas Tech on Oct. 6 is slated to kick off at 2:30 p.m. CT.

The game will be broadcast by either ABC, ESPN or ESPN2. The network designation for the game will be announced at a later date.

The Sooners head coach says he's still optimistic, despite OU's 24-19 loss at home to Kansas State on Saturday night.

Stoops insist he won't bench quarterback Landry Jones: Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops insisted on Monday there is nothing that would make him bench quarterback Landry Jones.

While addressing the Sooners' 24-19 loss to Kansas State on Saturday, Stoops said Jones might just be trying to do too much.

"I know Landry is a very bright guy that watching it he will see he's maybe making too much out of something," Stoops said. (The Oklahoman)

Brown suffers bruised chest: Oklahoma wide receiver Justin Brown suffered what appeared to be a right shoulder injury after his second big punt return midway through the second quarter against Florida A&M.

Wide receivers coach Jay Norvell, however, clarified Monday that the injury was chest bruise, and that he expects Brown to be good to go for OU’s next game in two weeks against Kansas State.

“I think he’s gonna be fine,” Norvell said. "He just kind of came down on the football and kind of bruised his chest plate a little bit. He looked like Mike Tyson punched him in the chest or something. He was really deflated after that. We took him out after that and let Durron (Neal) play. He just got a little chest bruise.”

WR Jalen Saunders will not play this season: Transfer wide receiver Jalen Saunders was denied by the NCAA to play this season, OU coach Bob Stoops confirmed during Monday’s press conference.

Saunders, who was expected to extend the depth at the receiver position, led Fresno State in receiving last season with 1,065 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Saunders will be eligible for the 2013 season. (OUDaily.com)

Sooners start slow and roll late: Landry Jones faced pressure on nearly every snap, had trouble finding his receivers.

The running game bogged down most of the night. The specials teams allowed two blocked kicks, one that led to a touchdown.

It wasn't pretty, nearly a disaster actually, but the Sooners found a win to grind out a win.

Riding its defense all night and scoring a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter, No. 4 Oklahoma survived a scare by slogging out a 24-7 win over Texas-El Paso on Saturday night.

OU commit Stanvon Taylor has a big season opener: Stanvon Taylor did just about everything he could for Tulsa East Central on Friday night against Del City.
