08:21 AM ET 10.17 | What does Landry Jones really think of the Belldozer? He'll never say [it bothers him] during a press conference. He'll never profess it to the masses. He's probably never even said as much to teammates. He isn't that kind of guy. But the Oklahoma quarterback can't like doing all the dirty work, driving the Sooners into the opponent's red zone, then giving way so Blake Bell can get all the touchdown glory, like he did four times this past weekend against Texas. It has to be difficult. "I don't know about difficult," Jones said Monday, sounding what's become a familiar refrain when he's asked about the Belldozer, "but sure, as a competitor, I want to be there and I want to throw touchdowns and those sorts of things."

When you're 25-35 yards out, call an audible for a post route and let'er rip. Beat Belldozer to the punch.

if you don't like it then stop getting the ball down inside the 5 yd line and put it in the endzone instead you moron.

Stoops needs to win to keep his job so if that means using Bell the way he does than so be it. Jones is a student/athlete whose biggest concern should be to graduate. Pootytang, I agree Belldozer is one gaynickname.

Two police agencies are investigating whether Idaho State head football coach Mike Kramer's two-handed push of a wide receiver during a recent practice constitutes criminal behavior.


The Pocatello Police Department is conducting an investigation alongside ISU campus police into the Oct. 3 incident involving Derek Graves, a senior wide receiver, and Kramer. A video of the incident obtained by "Outside the Lines" shows Kramer trotting across the practice field before appearing to push Graves to the ground with a two-handed shove to the chest. Graves fell backwards after the contact.

More on it:

Graves told OTL that Kramer became irate when Graves preferred to face one of the team's veteran cornerbacks instead of a freshman cornerback during one-on-one drills in practice. When Graves tried waving over one of the older cornerbacks to face him, he said Kramer marched across the field and said, "He's a varsity f------ player" before pushing Graves. Graves said Kramer cursed again while he was on the ground.


Since the incident, Graves said, he has suffered from neck spasms and has not been cleared by the team's medical staff to resume participating in practices or games. Graves had 36 receptions in Idaho State's first four games, including back-to-back games with 15 catches. He has not played since.


Graves filed a police report with Pocatello police on Sunday after his family retained Alabama attorney Don Jackson. Jackson said he notified the university president and athletic director of the incident last week. Pocatello police declined to release the report to OTL.

What the hell is the definition of criminal behavior in Idaho? Geez Louise.

Should have hit him...then he would at least have gotten his money's worth.

Isn't that so lame, and this guy wants to play full contact football, I would not let him on the team, his mates might get sued for tackling him.

Idaho has a defenseless receiver law.

This headline is a total farce and a joke!!! Sure he wants to be in there, but he has never said he is "irked'!!! They are winning and scoring touchdowns. If he had not had trouble for 2.5 yrs scoring in the red zone then this would never have happened. I love the Dozer......
