Trevor Wilson is back and Jalon Daniels did not practice today. Looking at doubtful for Daniels but looking day to day and that's all he will comment on at this time.

Wilson looks like he is on good shape and they will wait and see if he travels.

OU looks athletic but battling some injuries. They get in three and four man fronts. As they know from last as a staff they can have some bumps in year one.

It will be a big test.

Grimm is leading in receptions and asked if that was a surprise Leipold said he's never really though about who would be the leader. Said he's gritty.

Mentioned Mason Fairchild having a good year and playing well.

They are asking Craig Young to do a lot. He has played well and been a great addition.

With Bean you tweak to your strengths. He mentioned in August he was playing well.

On bouncing back thought they responded well yesterday. Practiced on grass yesterday. Fall break so players on different schedule. At this point you get players banged up.

Last year they had 15 penalties in the fourth quarter this year 14 so far at the midway point. Those will cost you.

Said they send a lot of film in all the time to be reviewed.

Said he believes Gabriel will play for OU. he traveled and warmed up said he's not the OU team doc but anticipates he will play.

They are looking at the opponent and not getting to six wins and a bowl.

The fumbles are a concern especially based on last year where they didn't have as many. When you run option there will be some times where you risk ball protection.

Said they know it and are frustrated by the fumbles.

On the defense he is pleased and you can't get caught up on point totals. The 99-yard drive was disappointing. TCU is an explosive football team.

He said if someone told him TCU would be playing for a Big 12 title he wouldn't be surprised.

Expects OU to play fast offensively and that will be a challenge.
