Sam Bradford said Tuesday that he plans to play against Baylor on Saturday, provided he has no medical setbacks during practices this week. Oklahoma's 2-2 record is only part of Bradford's incentive to turn this week. Everyone in Sooner Nation knows what looms for OU on Oct. 17 in Dallas. "To get a game under my belt before Texas would definitely be beneficial for me and for our offense," said Bradford, speaking to reporters for the first time in nearly a month. But before Sooners fans rejoice at the prospect of Bradford riding in to salvage the season, some significant "ifs" remain. Bradford intended to play last Saturday at Miami but felt soreness and fatigue in his arm as the week progressed. No one can rule out a repeat this week. Bradford also said surgery remains a possibility. "From everything the doctors have said, it's all a matter of how my arm reacts," he said. "Until I get out there, until I practice, until I make all the throws, until I play in a game, then I'm not going to know. As a Sam Bradford-guy, I am hoping that this is not the case because then everybody like Skip Bayless will be saying how he should have left when 4 out of his 5 lineman left. Well I know he wanted to stay because he felt like they left some plays in the BCS game, but looks like he will not be returning this year. But there's still a possibility. To win another Big 12 championship and become the first team to win four straight Big 12 championships, I still think there's a lot in front of this team.
