Injuries — specifically the one to quarterback Sam Bradford — may have taken the luster off Oklahoma’s season and made their national championship hopes a moot point, but the spoiler role is still available.

While there’s no BCS national championship game in their future, there’s still the possibility of a BCS bowl game were they to end the season as Big 12 champion.

And what better way to take a major step toward that goal than by dragging hated rival and third-ranked Texas into the also-ran pool with them?

No. 12 Oklahoma never took the importance of Jermaine Gresham for granted, because losing him for the season has had a tremendous and obvious impact on the Sooners’ offense this season.

“I coached in the National Football League and guys like Jermaine don’t come around very often. He’s a pretty special cat,” OU receivers coach Jay Norvell said. “When you lose a guy like him, it really hurts you.”

OU’s offense has been feeling that pain since a season-ending knee injury put Gresham on the shelf four days before the Sooners’ season opener against BYU.
