OU punter Michael Cohen has been added to the watch list for the Ray Guy Award, given to the nation's top college punter.

Cohen ranks 13th in the country with a punting average of 44.3 yards per kick.

The Guy Award is presented in December.

No OU player has won the award since it was created in 2000. In 2001, however, OU punter Jeff Ferguson was a finalist.

• DT Coleman may sit: Defensive coordinator Brent Venables said OU coaches hope to hold defensive tackle Steve Coleman out of Saturday's game with Iowa State. Coleman is battling an abdominal strain, Venables said.

After Iowa State, OU has a bye week, so Coleman would have two weeks to rest before the Sooners play Texas A&M on Nov. 3.

• CBS All-Americans: Receiver Malcolm Kelly and defensive end Auston English have been named Halfway All-Americans by CBSSports.com.

Kelly is tied for fourth in the country in TD receptions with eight. English leads the Big 12 in sacks with 7.5.

LSU and Boston College had the most players on the list with three each.
