Blake Bell and Trevor Knight keep sharing snaps. OU keeps insisting the job remains open, coaches and players alike.
Wide receiver Jalen Saunders was asked specifically about Bell last week. His answer: Blake's been looking pretty good, just like all the other quarterbacks. The competition's going well. He's been coming out and throwing the ball well and running the ball well, just like every other quarterback.
Saunders was asked specifically about Bell's arm. His answer: "He has a nice ball, just like every other quarterback we have here."
"We'll see when the season rolls around who the starter is," Saunders added.
Apparently so.
News and notes
Remember Reynolds?: Jaz Reynolds has one last shot to contribute to the OU receiver corps. If he follows his pattern, he just might.
Reynolds finished his freshman season of 2009 strong, indicating he might be ready for a breakout '10. Instead, he was suspended for Twitter remarks about a shooting on the Texas campus. OU called it a redshirt.
Reynolds came back and contributed 41 catches and 715 yards in '11, only to be suspended the following May for team rules violations. That put him right back in the doghouse, where he stayed through last season. He didn't play a down.
Reynolds, now a fifth-year senior, is due another bounceback.
So?
"He's working and doing a real good job," Bob Stoops said last week. "Nothing electrifying, but he's doing well. ...
"It's not easy. There are a lot of other guys that are doing pretty good. We'll see if he can earn some playing time."
Ikard gets All-America talk: Assuming half the battle for linemen is preseason attention, Gabe Ikard is halfway to becoming OU's first All-American center since Vince Carter in 2004.
Ikard appeared on SI's first-team All-America squad last week, following up appearances the senior captain has made on other preseason honor rolls.
Last year Ikard was an Academic All-American and a first-team All-Big 12 Conference center.
Opponent watch: West Virginia
The Mountaineers couldn't stop anyone last year, and it led to their undoing. They hope that by the time they come to Owen Field in Week 2, they'll put up more of a defensive fight.
News out of their camp this week didn't exactly help that cause.
Nana Kyeremeh, believed to be a potential starting cornerback, was lost for the season with a shoulder injury. West Virginia coach Dana Holgorsen told reporters Kyeremeh was considering surgery heading into camp. When the shoulder popped out during practice, the decision was made.
