Just going to list out everything I know right now in message board form.
1) I think most of the guys that missed the opener are on track to play this week in Norman. But, a lot can happen between now and Saturday, so things always can change, and this year, they probably will.
2) One specific example that I can share is that Joshua Youngblood has been practicing. Having another weapon at wide receiver won't be a bad thing. It'll be interesting how they can use him and Deuce together while both are on the field together.
3) I think there is potential for them to be without a few guys on Saturday. I believe three or four are regular contributors. More details will be shared when the time is right. I don't like to get as specific until closer to kick.
4) I'm not sure what the practice schedule looked like over the weekend but I do know that they did practice on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, at least, during the bye week. It does sound like there were some powerful meetings before Tuesday and some have described it as the best meetings that have taken place since Klieman has arrived. Not that there was anything shattered or anyone was panicking, but it sounded like it was one of those conversations that they look back on and call it the turning point. We'll see.
5) Still sounding like CJ Noland to OU. Sorry that we don't have any good news on that front.
6) I mentioned it in the last Off the Record, but I also think Khalid Duke will be back this week. He was held out last week in what I would call a coach's decision.
7) In terms of Jahron McPherson, I lean towards him playing as of now, but we should know more in the coming days. Wayne Jones is probably out but I don't know that for a fact. I think there's a solid chance we see someone at safety this week that didn't play safety in week one.
8) I don't have an update on Noah Johnson at this time, but that is another huge item to follow the rest of this week.
9) My hunch is that we do see Jacardia Wright to some extent on Saturday.
10) It may be nothing, but something worth monitoring may be the health of Malik Knowles. He may be fine. However, he wasn't in on the last play of the game and I don't think he played again after dropping the long pass from Skylar in the fourth quarter. Could be nothing. It's something I'll be checking on, though.
