TEMPLE AIMS TO PLAY

[IE]

Pinkel listed tailback Tony Temple (sprained ankle) as questionable for the Oklahoma game, but Temple was confident he?ll be in the lineup.

"I?m playing," he said. "It?s a 90 percent chance that I?m going to play."

Temple twisted his ankle midway through the second quarter against Nebraska but wanted to return in the second half.

"I felt like I could have played, but they wanted to make sure," he said of the training staff. "They were looking out for me. Every athlete, every competitor, thinks they can go out there and play, but you have to be smart about it."

INJURY REPORT

Running back Tony Temple, who suffered a sprained ankle last week, said he expects to play against Oklahoma and that he's probably about 90 percent right now. Temple left last week's game before halftime and did not return. ... Receiver Danario Alexander was without a cast on his broken left hand during Monday's media day and said he was getting the hand examined Monday evening to see whether he needed to put the cast back on. Alexander said he tried to lift weights without the cast and that his wrist was weak, but the hand didn't hurt. Alexander made a 48-yard touchdown catch with the cast on last weekend.
