Sophomore receiver Ryan Broyles wasn’t assigned any extra conditioning as punishment for releasing details of quarterback Sam Bradford’s return.

SLIM AND FAST
Freshman right guard Tyler Evans came to campus weighing 324 pounds. By the time preseason camp started, he was down to 320.
Nearly four weeks into the season, Evans is down to 306 pounds.
"I was actually wanting to be about 320 to kind of give me some leverage, but it makes me run faster, so it makes me faster off the ball,” Evans said.
The good news is nothing is off limits for dinner.
"I can eat basically what I want, because I just work it right off,” Evans said.
Asked his favorite food, Evans didn’t have to think long.
"Steak,” he said, almost before the reporter could finish asking the question.
CATCHING ON
Junior Mossis Madu made the transition to receiver from running back during spring practice for more playing time and touches.
Through three games, he hasn’t received either. Madu has just three catches for 22 yards, and two carries for no gain.
Madu will have to prove he can be reliable outside of the backfield to break into the rotation at receiver.
"I think it’s more of a trust factor, knowing that I got all the plays down, the route system, reading the DBs out there,” Madu said.
While he believes he has a basic understanding of those things, he says his lack of receiving instincts that have kept him off the field.
"Just running, making cuts at the right depth,” he said. "The little things you learn growing up playing receiver.”

The video clips are wearing me out. They all look and act like News9 wannabe's. Just get the nouns and verbs correct. Throw in an occasional adjective. But don't try to be "hollywood."
Buffalo Bob is not in charge of the Sam situation, Sam's insurer and Sam are. Is Bob taking
sides with the Insurance company. Stoops needs to worry about beating Miami, Bradford
will take care of his self. Bob has brought all these problems on OU and his self by
not making staff changes and being envolved with his players during the season, Bomar
to single one out. All that salary OU pumps out to him has gone to his head, he's out of
touch. When OU gets their but kicked in Miami in Prime Time, it will just another cover
up by the DO and Bennett, who's wife's name is on the Stadium. OU is not the tradition
people are paying for at this time.
