Gresham's Injury Another Blow To Sooner Title Hopes

With the news that TE Jermaine Gresham is going under arthroscopic knee surgery and will miss his senior season, Oklahoma has been dealt another blow to its offense. With QB Sam Bradford's shoulder injury shelving him for 2-4 weeks, the Sooners are forced to turn to reshirt freshman QB Landry Jones and an inexpreienced receiving core. Oklahoma will have it fairly easy the next two weeks facing Idaho State and Tulsa at home, followed by a bye week. But after that things will get competitive, with a home games against a revitalized Miami program, an underrated Baylor team and then the Red River Shootout with Texas. If the Sooners have any hope of winning a national title this year, they will have to survive by basing their offense on the running game led by DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown. Although it will be tough, coach Bob Stoops will find a way to manage his team until Bradford comes back.
