OU Notebook

TCU game starts at 6: Oklahoma's home football game on Sept. 27 against TCU has been set for a 6 p.m. kickoff and will be televised by FSN cable 27.

The Sooners, ranked No. 2 this week after beating Washington 55-14 Saturday, are off this week.

The Horned Frogs are 3-0 and play SMU (1-2) this week.

OU's game with TCU is sold out, but tickets could be made available next week if TCU returns any of its allotment.

Granger questionable: Defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger sustained a sprained left foot and OU announced Monday that his status is undetermined.

Granger was roughed up by several Washington offensive linemen Saturday at Husky Stadium. TV viewers noticed, and so did OU coach Bob Stoops.

"There looked to be some of that. Unfortunate anytime any of that happens," Stoops said during his Big 12 teleconference Monday morning. "But there's always a lot of rough and tough play inside. Nobody here is whining about it."

Granger drew the Huskies' wrath on the final series of the first half, when he knocked over Washington right guard Casey Bulyca after Husky tight end Kavario Middleton had flinched at the line of scrimmage. That earned Granger a 15-yard personal foul penalty to go with Middleton's false start.

On the next play, Bulyca, center Juan Garcia and left guard Jordan White-Frisbee all drove Granger to the turf. Bulyca and White-Frisbee continued to roll over Granger as QB Jake Locker finished a 7-yard run downfield.

Granger put no weight on his left leg as he was helped off the field. He returned to the sideline in the second half on crutches and wearing a boot around his lower leg.

Granger, who hasn't started this season but has played significant minutes in OU's four-man tackle rotation, will be evaluated through the week.

4 x 100: With its first-ever win in Seattle, OU is now the only program with four coaches with at least 100 career victories.

Stoops joined College Football Hall of Famers Bennie Owen (122-54-16) from 1905-26, Bud Wilkinson (145-29-4) from 1947-63 and Barry Switzer (157-29-4) from 1974-88 atop the century list.

Stoops got win No. 100 in his 122nd game, the same number it took Switzer. Wilkinson got his 100th victory in 111 games.

Stoops' win total is the second-highest ever by a head coach in 10 seasons. The record of 124 was set by Penn's George Woodruff. By GUERIN EMIG AND JOHN E. HOOVER, World sports writers
