Stoops: Reynolds doubtful; Box to get start

NORMAN (AP) — Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops says it’s doubtful starting middle linebacker Ryan Reynolds will play in the Sooners’ rivalry game this week against No. 11 Oklahoma State.

Reynolds strained his hamstring in the Sooners’ 41-13 loss at Texas Tech on Saturday and was replaced by Enid’s Austin Box.

Box, who started in Reynolds’ place the last five regular season games a year ago, was credited with three unassited tackles in OU’s 41-13 loss at Texas Tech Saturday.

The Sooners will also be without center Ben Habern, who had surgery Saturday night after breaking his left leg in the Texas Tech game.

Stoops said Monday on the Big 12 coaches’ conference call Habern’s recovery is expected to take three months.

He’s the third offensive lineman to suffer a season-ending injury this season for Oklahoma.

Stoops says defensive tackle Adrian Taylor is expected to play against the Cowboys with an undisclosed injury.
