OU football notebook

Bob Stoops and the Oklahoma football team return to the practice field today, returning from spring break. The Sooners have 10 spring practices remaining.

Two chances remain for fans to see the Sooners work out this spring. Saturday's scrimmage at Owen Field will be open to the public free of charge. It is set to begin at 11 a.m.

The Red/White Spring Game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. April 7, also on Owen Field.

Tickets for that game are available for $5 at the OU ticket office, 1-800-456-4668, or for $10 the day of the game.

The Red/White game will be televised by ESPN (Cox 29).

•Say cheese: Malcolm Kelly is spending his spring on the sidelines after offseason knee surgery, but that's not keeping him out of the eye of the national media. Later this week, the 6-foot-4 junior wide receiver will pose for photos that will appear on the cover of Athlon magazine's preseason publication.

Also next week, several members of OU's offensive line will be photographed by The Sporting News, which tabbed the Sooners' line one of the best in the country.
