Boyd Street
TCU student Connor Boyd is one of quarterback Sam Bradford’s best friends from Putnam City North High School. The two grew up together before starring for the Panther football team.
Boyd, an OU fan, is having to keep a low profile in Forth Worth this week.
“I have to be careful about what I say,” Boyd said. “But I will be wearing my Bradford jersey at the game.”

Mensik out for a month
Third-string tight end Eric Mensik has a broken ankle and will be out for at least a month, Oklahoma offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson said Tuesday.Mensik suffered the injury in practice during the Sooners’ open week when a teammate fell on his ankle during a blocking drill.The sophomore from Rosenberg, Texas, saw significant action in a 55-14 victory over Washington two weeks ago.Freshmen James Hanna and Trent Ratterree are expected to see more playing time during Mensik’s absence, but only in multiple tight end formations.The Sooners already have two standout tight ends in Jermaine Gresham and Brody Eldridge.“It was a bad deal. We thought Eric played well at Washington,” Wilson said. “It’s unfortunate for him, but luckily we have a little depth there.”By Jake Trotter
