Oklahoma's McGee suspended indefinitely - Yahoo! Sports

The Oklahoma Sooners suspended defensive tackle Stacy McGee indefinitely for violating school policy, head coach Bob Stoops announced Friday. McGee had told teammates in recent days that he might be punished for having broken the rules, according to an ESPN.com report. The senior had been part of a defensive tackle rotation since 2010, and started 17 starts during that span. "It's a big loss, but we'll be all right," defensive tackle Casey Walker told ESPN.com. "It's like when you're a kid and Mom tells you not to touch the stove and you do it anyway, and you got burned. It's just one of those things. He learned his lesson and whatnot, and he's just moving forward now. You can't dwell in the past." Starting defensive end David King will shift to tackle for the No. 4 Sooners, Stoops said. McGee is the third starter to leave the Sooners this preseason. Center Ben Habern gave up the sport due to back and neck injuries, and right guard Tyler Evans tore the ACL in his right knee on the first day of practice.
