Wolfe simply
had a bad day Beaten for a couple of big-gain passes against UAB, cornerback D.J. Wolfe opened the door for renewed competition from Lendy Holmes.

But hope among Sooners coaches is that Wolfe simply had a bad day.
"We potentially have two really good corners," secondary coach Bobby Jack Wright said. "Now, Reggie (Smith) played extremely well the other night in the game. The other one didn't play quite as well as he's capable of playing. Or as he's played. Or as I expect he'll play in the future.
"That happens."
Wright said he's seen too much good from Wolfe -- last year and in the preseason -- to panic yet.
"A guy gets beat, he gets beat," Wright said. "I don't worry too much about that. Now, if it continues to happen week in and week out, then that's something I'd worry about. He got beat on two throws.
"You guys turn on your TV, you'll see that every Sunday with guys who are making $7 million."
Tickets available: Oklahoma has a limited number of tickets available against Washington.
An estimated 200 tickets, returned by the Huskies, are for sale over the phone at 1-800-456-GoOU or at the office located in the Asp Avenue Parking Facility.
Cost is $67 per ticket.
Stoops responds: Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops commented Wednesday on offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson's critical remarks of Adrian Peterson, agreeing that the running back can improve his game.
Wilson on Tuesday discussed areas where the Sooners' star played poorly in last Saturday's 24-17 win over UAB.
Peterson finished the game with 139 yards on 24 carries and a touchdown, along with a 69-yard touchdown reception. But he fumbled once and, according to Wilson, struggled at times in pass protection and running through holes.
"It was said to AD, too," Stoops said of Wilson's comments. "Everybody makes a big deal about it, when we're being honest that all guys can get better. AD realized it. He sees spots where he can get better.
"Everybody just likes to make major headlines about it because Adrian Peterson can get better? Sure he can. So could every other guy that's played here, and every other guy that's won the Heisman. They could all do some things better."
